Prince Harry and Meghan have issued a 23-word statement in light of Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis news as they wish her “health and healing.” The California-based couple, who stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020, sent their message of support an hour after the King and Queen shared theirs.
It said: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.” The Princess of Wales issued a video message to the world at around 6pm today (March 22) confirming she is in the early stages of treatment following a cancer diagnosis.
The two-minute message contained glimmers of hope, as Kate said she is “getting stronger every day”, but also unearthed the personal way in which the news has impacted herself and her young family. It is thought her video statement was deliberately released today to conicide with the start of the children’s Easter break.
While Harry and Meghan put out a response to the news shortly after it went global, it is not known if either of them were aware of Kate’s personal health issues before this message was broadcast.
