Prince Harry And Meghan Unaware Of Kate Middleton's Cancer Diagnosis

Kate Middleton at the Shaping Us National Symposium

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly unaware of Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis before it was publicly announced. The Princess of Wales revealed her diagnosis in a video message, stating that she had undergone abdominal surgery in January and was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

Following the announcement, representatives for Harry and Meghan released a statement expressing their well wishes for Kate and her family. It was reported that Kate's cancer diagnosis was not shared with Harry and Meghan in advance, and they learned about it at the same time as the public, through television.

The speculation surrounding Kate's health, known as the 'Katespiracy,' led to various conspiracy theories that were later proven to be untrue. Despite the public interest in the royal family's private lives, Kensington Palace declined to comment on private conversations.

The royal family's interactions have been a topic of public discussion, with Harry and Meghan speaking openly about their rift with other family members, including William and Kate. Harry previously mentioned being on different paths from William but emphasized their bond as brothers.

In a memoir released in 2023, Harry referred to William as a 'beloved brother' and 'arch nemesis,' highlighting the complexities of their relationship. The status of Harry and Meghan's relationship with the royal family remains uncertain, with Harry expressing love for his family and acknowledging the potential for Charles' cancer diagnosis to have a reunifying effect.
