In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly been left in the dark about the health updates regarding Kate Middleton, just like the rest of the public. Amidst weeks of speculation surrounding Middleton's health, it has been revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not being kept informed about their sister-in-law's battle with cancer.

According to Time Magazine, several sources have confirmed that Prince Harry learned about Middleton's cancer diagnosis from a television broadcast. It has been reported that the couple, based in the United States, is aware of the happenings in England but is being excluded from any detailed information about Kate's condition.

The apparent lack of trust between the two couples, who have been on non-speaking terms since the release of Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," has further strained their relationship. The memoir included scathing details about Kate and Prince William, contributing to the rift.

Royal historian Richard Fitzwilliams commented on the situation, stating, "It speaks volumes that Harry and Meghan learned about the diagnosis through the news. The breakdown of trust is evident, and the brothers have reportedly not been in contact for months." This lack of communication is a stark departure from how the family has traditionally come together during times of tragedy, even amidst their ongoing feud.

In the past, the family has managed to find common ground during moments of crisis. Harry and Meghan briefly reunited with Prince William and Kate after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. Additionally, Harry flew to the UK to meet with his father, King Charles, following the monarch's cancer diagnosis earlier this year. However, he did not have an opportunity to see his brother during that visit.

Fitzwilliams speculates that Kate's diagnosis could potentially serve as a catalyst for reconciling the frayed relationship within the family. "A serious illness can change everything and bring families together. This may happen. Harry will return to see his father, and perhaps the brothers will see each other," said Fitzwilliams. He remains skeptical, however, stating that reconciliation is unlikely at this moment.

Despite the strained relationship, Prince Harry and Meghan did issue a statement expressing their well wishes for Kate. The statement, released shortly after Kate publicly revealed her diagnosis, conveyed their hopes for her healing and privacy. This indicates that the couple is supportive of Kate during this challenging time, much like the rest of the public.

As the family navigates this difficult period, the world anxiously awaits updates on Kate Middleton's health and hopes for a potential reconciliation between the feuding royals.
