Prince Harry and Meghan Reach Out Following Princess Catherine’s Cancer Diagnosis
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have extended their support to the Prince and Princess of Wales after Princess Catherine revealed her cancer diagnosis. The BBC has learned that the royal couple reached out privately to offer their well wishes.
The news of Catherine’s cancer diagnosis came after she shared a video message expressing the challenges she has faced in recent months. While details about the type of cancer have not been disclosed, Kensington Palace has confirmed that Catherine is optimistic about making a full recovery.
Prince Harry and Meghan, who stepped down as senior royals in January 2020 and relocated to California with their children, Archie and Lilibet, have been active in showing their support for family members facing health challenges.
Earlier this year, King Charles was also diagnosed with cancer, prompting Harry to make a trip to London to be by his father’s side as he started treatment. Harry later spoke about how such health concerns can bring families closer.
Following the news of Catherine’s diagnosis, US President Joe Biden‘s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, offered well wishes from the White House, emphasizing the importance of respecting the royal family’s privacy during this difficult time.
Despite reports of a strained relationship between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, the Sussexes have reportedly maintained communication with the Cambridges following Catherine’s announcement.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were said to have been unaware of Catherine’s condition until it was made public. They reached out to Prince William and Kate privately to convey their support and hopes for Catherine’s swift recovery.
While the two royal couples have not been seen together since the passing of the Queen, they recently participated in separate events honoring Princess Diana. Speculation about the state of the relationship between the brothers continues as they navigate these personal challenges.
