The spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that the couple was unaware of Princess Catherine’s illness until she made it public.
In a video message, Princess Catherine expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support following her abdominal surgery in January.
Shockingly, post-operation tests revealed the presence of cancer, prompting her to undergo preventive chemotherapy.
In response to the news, Harry and Meghan issued a public statement conveying their well wishes for Princess Catherine’s health and her family.
Despite their public message, it was later revealed that they had privately reached out to Catherine and Prince William upon learning of her diagnosis.
The method of contact and the possibility of Harry returning to the UK remain uncertain.
Reports suggest that Harry was unaware of Catherine’s health struggles, indicating a further rift between him and the royal family.
Neil Sean reported that Harry attempted to reach out to Kensington Palace but was unable to speak directly to his brother, Prince William.
This failed attempt at communication highlights the strained relationship between the siblings.
Although Harry reportedly expressed a desire to return to the UK to support his family during this challenging time, his offer was rebuffed by Buckingham Palace.
An insider shared that given the past tensions and controversies involving Harry and Meghan, his return was deemed unfeasible.
The palace cited the significant discord caused by the couple’s actions as a barrier to Harry’s reintegration into the royal fold.
The recent removal of Harry and Meghan’s individual bios from the official palace website further underscored the distance between them and the royal institution.
Their joint bio now emphasizes their departure from official royal duties, signaling a clear separation from the monarchy.
With Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s bios also removed, the palace’s stance on the couple’s status within the royal family is evident.
Royal expert Sally Bedell Smith emphasized that Princess Catherine has ample support from her family during this challenging period.
Smith dismissed the notion that Meghan and Harry’s involvement was necessary for Catherine’s well-being, highlighting the existing familial support network.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak echoed this sentiment, expressing solidarity with the royal family and offering support to Princess Catherine and her children.
As Princess Catherine navigates her recovery journey, the royal family and the country stand united in providing her with the care and compassion she needs.
Despite the ongoing drama surrounding Harry and Meghan, the focus remains on Princess Catherine’s health and well-being as she faces this difficult chapter with the unwavering support of her loved ones.
