Since Princess Kate made her cancer public, there has been huge outpouring of sympathy.
Her brother-in-law Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle also show solidarity.
Montecito/London – The British royal family is currently going through a difficult time: after King Charles III in February.
(75) had made his cancer public, Princess Kate (42) also followed suit on Friday evening (March 22nd) and confirmed in a video message that she was in the initial phase of chemotherapy.
Her health was kept secret for weeks, but now there is great support.
Princess Kate has cancer: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle send well wishes
Prince Harry (39) and Meghan Markle (42), who have an ambivalent relationship with the core of the royal family, also commented.
In a statement that the couple, who live in the USA, shared shortly after Kate's cancer became known, they expressed their solidarity: "We wish Kate and her family health and healing and hope that they can achieve this privately and in peace."
In addition, Harry and Meghan are said to have personally contacted Princess Kate, as the
Daily Mail
reports.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex only found out about the illness through the video message and then contacted the wife of heir to the throne Prince William (41) via phone call or video chat to privately express their wishes for her recovery.
Cancer diagnosis for King Charles and Princess Kate: Are Harry and Meghan moving closer to the family?
The royal family seems to be getting closer together again during these times.
For Harry and Meghan, who have no longer worked as so-called “senior working royals” since January 2020 and therefore do not carry out any royal duties, the drawing is likely to point to reconciliation.
The short quick visit that Harry made to London after Charles' cancer diagnosis could now be followed by an extended stay in his home country.
After her announcement, Princess Kate received a lot of support - including from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who not only published a conciliatory statement, but also apparently privately addressed Prince William's wife, who was suffering from cancer.

The 39-year-old had already announced in advance that he was planning another trip to the United Kingdom for 2024.
Apparently, Prince Harry even wants to bring his children with him to Great Britain - they could give their grandfather Charles and their aunt Kate, both of whom they barely know, new strength during their recovery.
