Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis in a video message Friday, and royal experts are weighing in on how the princess' health could affect Prince William and Prince Harry's strained relationship. Following Middleton's announcement, Harry and Meghan Markle issued a public message of support to the princess. 'We wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,' a spokesperson for the Sussexes told Fox News Digital.
You lean on the closest to you, don't you, and that is the problem,' Sean said of William and Harry. 'I think it's very difficult because Prince William is a very sort of strong, determined person, and he feels incredibly hurt by what has gone on and what has come out directly from his younger brother's mouth.
So, he's out in a limbo and, dare I say, they're not exactly going to be welcomed within certain areas of the British monarchy, which is a terrible shame,' Sean said. 'I think now, what needs to happen is – and maybe this will be the case – that this does actually unite the family, but I have not necessarily seen that, if I'm really honest.
The Princess of Wales announced in a video message Friday that she was diagnosed with cancer after her planned abdominal surgery in January and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment. Kate did not elaborate on the form or extent of the cancer in her video.
On Friday, a Kensington Palace spokesperson told Fox News Digital, 'The princess will return to official duties when she is cleared to do so by her medical team. She is in good spirits and is focused on making a full recovery.' Fox News Digital's Lauryn Overhultz and Stephanie Nolasco contributed to this report.
