Kate Middleton’s Cancer Diagnosis Almost Brought Her & Prince William Closer To the Sussexes

How close did we come to finally waving goodbye to the bitter Sussex v Royal Family feud? Rest assured that it’s only openly bitter on one side and silent on the other.

However, even if they do make up, royal expert and author Tom Quinn still sees some problem for Harry and Meghan.

Meghan Markle Offered An Olive Branch During Princess Kate’s Cancer Diagnosis

It’s a story that I think has been too oft-repeated that it’s beginning to sound as old as time. How Harry married Meghan. How Harry and Meghan left their roles as senior members of the Royal Family.

How Harry and Meghan turned around and attacked the royal family while key members are either ill or even at the hospital. How the Royal Family remained silent to the attacks, and so on and so forth.

But, in 2024, a great and shocking thing happened to two senior members of the Royal Family that sent the internet into a spiral.

The caption “WhereisKate” became the language of the day for many days on end. The thing is, in case you’re not exactly sure what we’re talking about here, Charles and Kate checked into London hospitals to undergo minor surgeries, and during these procedures, cancerous cells were discovered in their bodies.

Even though we don’t know much about Kate’s diagnosis, it was revealed at the time that the King’s was caught earlier on so likely to make a full recovery despite his advanced age.

While the world was reeling from this back-to-back health crisis, Meghan and Harry were trying their best to kiss and make up.

“Kate‘s cancer diagnosis really threw Meghan and Harry,” Tom Quinn told Fabulous.

“Meghan’s relationship with Kate was already beyond repair, but there was no way the shocking cancer diagnosis could be completely ignored. The result? A very temporary truce that saw kind, if formal, messages of sympathy winging their way from California to Windsor.”

Harry and Meghan publicly wrote, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

According to Quinn, the public statement isn’t all that the couple did to show their support, since they also reached out through private channels.

So why isn’t everything rosy and cosy once more? Quinn has a theory, and it is that “Unforgivable things have been said and cannot be unsaid.”

He added: “The messages of sympathy were strictly limited; there were no warm gossipy chit-chats by phone and once Kate was in remission the great icy silence descended once again.”
