AceShowbiz - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have privately contacted Prince William and Kate Middleton after the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis. The news came as a surprise to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who had reportedly been kept in the dark about Kate's condition.
Harry and Meghan's gesture follows a public statement they issued, expressing their well wishes for Kate and her family. "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," the couple said.
Kate Middleton's diagnosis has come as a shock to both the royal family and the public. The Princess of Wales shared her story in a video message, revealing that she had been undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer following an abdominal surgery in January.
The type of cancer Kate was diagnosed remains unclear. A Kensington Palace source says they "will not be sharing any further private medical information," adding that "the Princess has a right to medical privacy, as we all do."
Amidst this difficult time, Harry and Meghan Markle's gesture has been seen as a sign of support and family solidarity. Royal experts believe that this significant event could potentially mend the ongoing rift between the royal couples.
Kate Middleton is not the only British royal family member diagnosed with cancer. Her father-in-law, King Charles, is also battling cancer.
