Prince Harry and Meghan Markle expressed support for Kate Middleton, who was diagnosed with cancer

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have publicly offered words of support to the Princess of Wales, who recently announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

“We wish health and healing to Kate and the entire family, and we also hope that they will remain in peace and that their privacy will be respected,” Fox News Digital reports the words of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Royal expert Neil Schon suggested that the illness of the Princess of Wales could finally reconcile Prince Harry with Kate’s older brother and husband, Prince William, because in difficult times, each person “seeks support from loved ones.” However, he noted that this will still not be easy, since Prince William is a very “strong and determined person” who was “incredibly hurt” by the conflict with his younger brother and the confessions he made in his memoirs, “The Spare One.”

The princess herself said in a video message that Kate Middleton was diagnosed with cancer during abdominal surgery. She reported that she was undergoing chemotherapy. Following her address to British citizens, she was publicly supported not only by the Dukes of Sussex, but also by her younger brother James, King Charles III and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

James posted a childhood photo with Kate on Instagram* and accompanied it with the caption: “Over the years, we have conquered so many mountains together. As a family, we will definitely cope with this one!”

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told Page Six that the British monarch, who is also battling cancer, is “very proud of Kate and how bravely she has spoken out about her illness.” He added that while Charles III was in hospital with Kate, he maintained “close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law.”

Rishi Sunak wished the Princess of Wales a speedy recovery and condemned all those who spread unverified rumors during a difficult period for her. Let us remember that due to the sudden disappearance of Kate Middleton from the radar, many conspiracy theories have appeared around her. Some said that Kate had plastic surgery, others said that she ran away from the palace because of Prince William’s infidelity and his illegitimate child.
