Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly found out about Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis with the rest of the world.
The Princess of Wales bravely announced she was receiving treatment for cancer in a video posted on social media on Friday.
According to The Times newspaper, Kate’s diagnosis “was not shared in advance” with Harry and Meghan [Markle].”
“Several sources confirm that there were no such conversations and it is thought Harry found out about Kate’s diagnosis from television, at the same time as the public,” the outlet added.
Shortly after the video’s release, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a brief statement showing their support for their sister-in-law.
“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” they said.
Meanwhile, a separate source has told The New York Post that Harry and Meghan were “blindsided” by the news.
“They had no idea, and only learned of the news around the same time the rest of the world found out,” the insider said.
“This goes to show the irreparable damage they have caused. The trust has been broken and the royal family is OK distancing themselves from them.”
Harry, 39, had previously described Kate, 42, as the “big sister I never had” when she became engaged to his brother William 11 years ago.
However, its understood their relationship has become damaged beyond repair in recent years – as Harry and his wife Meghan have publicly slammed the Royal family on numerous occasions.
In fact, Harry hasn’t seen his sister-in-law since he returned to the UK for the Queen’s funeral in September 2022.
