In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly not kept in the loop regarding updates about Kate Middleton's health. The Duchess of Cambridge recently disclosed her cancer diagnosis after weeks of speculation, leaving the public and her sister-in-law unaware.

According to information from Time Magazine and various sources, Harry learned of Kate's diagnosis through a television announcement. In her emotional statement, she disclosed that she had begun "preventative chemotherapy" following the discovery of cancer after her abdominal surgery in January. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are said to be estranged from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since the release of Harry's memoir Spare, were not provided any details about Kate's health.

"There is clearly no trust," a source shared earlier this month. The communication breakdown further highlights the rift between the two couples. Royal historian Richard Fitzwilliams commented, "It speaks volumes that Harry and Meghan learned of the diagnosis from the news. The brothers reportedly haven't been in contact for months, and trust has completely broken down."

In the past, the royal family has come together in times of tragedy, even amidst ongoing feuds. Following Queen Elizabeth's passing in 2022, Harry and Meghan briefly reunited with the Prince and Princess of Wales. Harry also flew to the UK to meet with his father, King Charles, when the monarch revealed his cancer diagnosis in February. Notably, he did not see his brother during that visit.

Fitzwilliams suggests that Kate's illness might serve as a catalyst for reconciliation within the fractured family dynamics, although he remains skeptical. He states, "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. It could open the path to reconciliation in the weeks and months ahead. However, it is unlikely at the moment."

Despite their strained relationship, Prince Harry and Meghan shared well wishes for Kate upon the public release of her diagnosis. In a statement, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed, "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace." This indicates their support for Kate during this challenging time.

As the public and royal watchers eagerly await further developments, the uncertainty surrounding the relationships within the British royal family continues. Only time will tell if this health crisis can serve as a turning point in the strained bond between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
