The Princess of Wales received a “lovely” message from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which gave rise to “hope” that their differences could be resolved in the future. However, royal experts today stated that a trip to the UK would be a “distraction” from Kate’s recuperation.
Richard Fitzwilliams, a commentator, stated that he thinks Harry will be “devastated” to learn that Kate, who he has always called “Cath” and who he once described as “the sister I never had,” has cancer. “Time will tell if he visits Kate in the UK,” he remarked.

“I think that would be very counterproductive,” he said in response to the question of whether Prince Harry would return to assist people.
Shortly after his father revealed in January that he was battling the illness, Harry took a plane to the UK; however, it is unlikely that he made a last-minute trip to see Kate.
But, if things improve, the Duke of Sussex may be able to visit his brother and sister-in-law in May when he is in the country for a service commemorating ten years of the Invictus Games.
The Princess of Wales received a message of goodwill from the Sussexes last night, just after she revealed her illness and start of chemotherapy in an emotional and first-ever video message.
In a statement, Harry and Meghan, who were not informed beforehand and apparently found out along with millions of other people worldwide, said, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
Hugo Vickers described the message as ‘lovely’ today. William responded, “Let’s hope so,” to the question of whether Harry and Kate’s relationship would improve as a result of Kate’s cancer diagnosis. However, he also said, “I don’t think that’s on the cards at the moment to be honest.”
He continued, saying that a great deal of things needed to occur before that was a possibility. That would just be a terrible diversion, in my opinion.
Since then, Chris Ship, the royal editor for ITV, has disclosed that Harry has spoken with his brother Wills about the news.

The future queen started a course of “preventative chemotherapy” in late February, but she is said to be in good spirits and with an optimistic outlook on her recovery, characterizing herself as “well and getting stronger every day.”
After receiving a cancer diagnosis, Harry made an urgent trip from the US to see the King, and he returned to the UK last month.
With Meghan and their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, staying at home in California, the duke cleared his diary and traveled alone.
However, after the duke saw Charles for about 45 minutes at Clarence House, there was no reconciliation between Harry and his brother, the Prince of Wales.
When the King was crowned, he was last seen with the Windsors and the Waleses, but he quickly returned home to celebrate his son’s fourth birthday.

After Megxit, the duke’s accusations against his family seemed unrelenting, as evidenced by his Oprah interview and his Netflix documentary and memoir Spare published in the months that followed the Queen’s passing.
In the end, it was claimed that two senior royals made racist remarks about Archie’s skin tone before he was born. There were also allegations that Kensington Palace had concealed information to shield William from accusations that he had intimidated Harry into leaving the royal family.
The duke further claimed that William had physically assaulted him, thrown him into a dog bowl during a row over Meghan, made fun of his panic attacks, and encouraged him to dress like a Nazi at a fancy dress party with Kate.
Although it was reported that Charles and Harry were still in communication, William has allegedly not spoken to his brother in a long time and there is no indication that their relationship is improving.
Kate was at Windsor today with her family, supporting her in her battle against cancer with the support of millions of people.
Following Kate’s diagnosis announcement in a video message, newsreaders, celebrities, and members of the public—many of whom were not inside Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace—sent their best wishes.
The reassuring greeting “You’ve got this” has been a recurring motif in the tributes. 42-year-old Kate mentioned telling her kids that everything would be “OK” after supporters sobbed last night upon hearing the news.
Among those wishing her well are US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. King Charles expressed his pride in his daughter-in-law for her bravery.
Pippa Matthews and James Middleton, Kate’s siblings, have also sent messages, and her parents Carole and Michael Middleton have stepped in to help.
