AceShowbiz - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended their well wishes to Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, following her recent cancer diagnosis.
"We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement on Friday.
Middleton's diagnosis was revealed in a video message recorded earlier this week. The 42-year-old royal underwent abdominal surgery in January, initially believed to be non-cancerous. However, subsequent tests revealed the presence of cancer. She is now undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
In the video message, Middleton expressed gratitude for the medical team who has been caring for her. She also thanked the public for their support and understanding while she has been recovering from surgery.
The diagnosis is the second cancer-related concern within the royal family in recent months. In February, King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer following surgery for benign prostate enlargement.
Despite their strained relationship with Prince William and Kate Middleton, Harry and Meghan have maintained a sense of support and empathy. The last time the two couples spent time publicly was at Queen Elizabeth's funeral, where they greeted mourners outside Windsor Castle.
King Charles and Queen Camilla have also expressed their love and support for Kate and her family during this difficult time.
Middleton has asked for privacy while she completes her treatment. She emphasized that she will return to her public duties when her medical team permits.
The Princess of Wales's diagnosis highlights the importance of cancer awareness and the resilience of the royal family in the face of adversity.
