ET learned that Prince Harry And Meghan Markle approached privately Prince William And Kate Middleton after the Princess of Wales announced she has cancer.
At this time, it remains unclear exactly how and when they reached out, but the gesture was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also sharing a joint statement in support of Kate. In a statement to ET, Harry and Meghan said, “We wish Kate and the family health and healing, and hope they can do this privately and in peace.”
Those comments came not long after Kate announced on Friday that tests would follow her abdominal surgery in January it turned out that she had cancer. She added: “My medical team therefore recommended that I take a course preventive chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
Harry and Meghan's statement and gesture come amid persistent tensions with the royal family dating back to 2020, when the couple decided to leave royal life behind and move to the United States. In fact, royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET why she believes Harry and Meghan are not being kept informed amid speculation about Kate's whereabouts.
'Of course they know she's been to prison [hospital]I'm not even sure if they know what's in store for her because the relationship is very estranged now, you know, the brothers don't talk and Kate and Meghan certainly don't talk, so while well wishes have been expressed – – certainly from the side of the Sussexes – I'm not sure they're actually as involved as perhaps senior members of the royal family,” Nicholl said.
William and Kate's response to the outpouring of support comes just hours later Princess DianaEarl Charles Spencer's brother shared a screenshot of Kate's on-camera announcement on Instagram with the caption, “Incredible balance and strength.”
