King Charles considering ‘state visit’ to America to see Archie and Lilibet

King Charles has only met his youngest grandchild Lilibet once and has seen Archie a handful of times – and is said to be ‘desperate’ to see them in person

King Charles is reportedly yearning for more time with his American-based grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as per a Royal commentator’s insights.

Despite his affectionate bond with Prince William’s offspring, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the sovereign has had limited encounters with Prince Harry’s little ones. His Majesty has only been in the presence of Lili once and Archie a mere few times.

The King is believed to be disheartened by the geographical gap, maintaining contact through sporadic video calls from Harry and Meghan’s Montecito home, desiring a deeper connection with the young royals. Queen Camilla, on her part, seems to be backing moves to strengthen family ties, evidenced by Charles’s recent “heartfelt gift and card” to Lilibet for her third birthday.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry appears hesitant to bring his children across the pond due to ongoing legal disputes with the Home Office over security arrangements. He has expressed concerns in court about his children’s safety in the UK, stating they cannot truly “feel at home” without adequate protection.

Royal commentator Tom Quinn has exclusively revealed to The Mirror that King Charles is considering a trip across the pond. Quinn disclosed: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility,” reports the Mirror.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have slowly eased their way back into the limelight but their public appearances have come with a series of cringeworthy errors between them.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their shock exit from the Royal Family in 2020 and relocated across the Atlantic with their new found freedom to Montecito, California.

Despite asking for privacy to start their new lives in America with their two kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Sussexes have slowly been easing themselves back into the public eye.

In recent weeks and months, the duke and duchess have returned to the limelight after a slew of public appearances including their joint appearance at the Invictus Games in September and Meghan’s outing to a Farmers’ Market in the summer.

The former royal couple have also been seen rubbing shoulders with Hollywood A-listers during various appearances at concerts in LA and Vegas.

However, with a series of public appearances comes a string of awkward blunders which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be prone to, the Mirror reports.

From an awkward mic snatch to looking out of place, here we take a closer look at some of the couple’s most cringe worthy moments in recent months.

Meghan’s mic snatch at Kevin Costner’s party

The Sussexes attended Kevin Costner’s One805 Live! charity event back in September which was held at the actor’s $26m polo-field in Santa Barbara.

While at the event, the couple got up on stage with Kevin, which is when the awkward moment unfolded.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one page shared footage of Meghan at the event with them pointing out the cringe filled blunder.

The clip showed Meghan walking towards a woman who was heading in her direction as she reached out for the microphone the woman was holding.

As the duchess went to grab the microphone, the lady held onto it tightly before Meghan broke her grasp as the woman walked past her.

The former actress seemed to quickly recover from the snub by directing the lady in the direction she was meant to be heading instead.

However, eagle eyed critics were quick to notice the error as one wrote: “She’s all manic over the attention she thinks the lady is giving her the microphone”.

Another commented: “Omg the second-hand embarrassment” while a third said: “Ouch so embarrassing!!”

A fourth then wrote: “But she wasn’t giving her the microphone.”

Harry looking out of place

Prince Harry was raised in England and lived there for his entire adult life up until several years ago so it’s not a surprise that living in the US has been a shock to his system.

Since rubbing shoulders with famous faces in LA, the duke has endured many awkward moments where he appears to be out of place.

One of these moments occurred at the charity event hosted by Kevin Costner as body language expert Judi James claimed the 39-year-old prince seemed “uncomfortable” at the bash.

She explained how Harry appeared to look “less comfortable, looking rather out of place in the celebrity surroundings”, while Meghan appeared “entranced”.

Harry looking ‘uncomfortable’ at Katy Perry’s gig

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a Katy Perry concert in Las Vegas earlier this month where they were again spotted with a bunch of A-listers, including Celine Dion.

Prince Harry seemed “uncomfortable”, and even looked a little angry, according to body language expert Judi James.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: “Harry might like to relish his role as the ‘cool one’ of the royal family but that is an extremely low bar, and seeing him mingling in the world of Hollywood celebrity again here his body language does define him as the proverbial fish out of water.

“It was Celine Dion getting all the fuss and star treatment here, while Harry appeared to be queuing to walk past her.

“In the UK he would have never been upstaged or outranked by a celebrity.”

Meghan breaking farmers’ market rules

Back in July, Meghan was seen out and about in California at the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market.

The former actress was spotted alone as she wandered round the markets to browse the fresh goods that were on offer.

However, Meghan was said to have broken a rule that the market had at the time as she was spotted with her beagle and a security guard.

In a photo shared exclusively by Daily Mail, there is a sign at the market that reads: “NO DOGS ALLOWED with the exception of recognized (sp) service animals… we thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”

There was also a Yelp page for the market, with a question that reads: “Is it dog friendly?” and a response that says: “No dogs allowed, except service animals. There are signs at every entrance.”

Awkward pub outing

Another awkward public moment for the Sussexes’ happened just days ago as they attended the opening of a new veteran centre in San Diego.

Meghan was seen awkwardly ushering a gloomy Prince Harry forward as they joined officials to cut the opening ribbon for the new training facility.

The duke seemed to be slightly preoccupied during the visit which came after the couple said they had “no contact” from King Charles about his upcoming 75th birthday.

While the awkward usher took place, Harry was pictured with a glum expression in comparison to his beaming wife.

Meghan waved at the crowds outside before she and Harry entered the new building for a tour with the duchess seemingly leading her husband.

Meghan has been secretly ‘texting King Charles’ with updates on Archie and Lilibet amid feud

The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly been keeping in contact with King Charles by sending him life updates about her children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to a royal biographer.

Meghan Markle has reportedly been texting King Charles updates of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet amid her and Prince Harry’s ‘feud’ with the royals.

It’s been alleged that the Duchess of Sussex has been sharing snaps of her adorable two kids with their estranged grandfather, according to claims made in royal biographer Omid Scobie’s new book Endgame.

The royal author admitted that he was “surprised” to learn that the former Suits actress had kept in touch with the monarch.

Meghan and Harry made their shock exit from the Firm over three years ago now and have had a tense relationship with the royals ever since, the Mirror reports.

Things went from bad to worse after the Sussexes made a number of bombshell claims about The Firm in their explosive Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan which was then followed by the duke’s tell-all memoir Spare.

Omid said that Meghan had not been sending the pictures of her children “directly” to Charles but insisted there is a “willingness there” from the duchess to have her children bond with their grandfather.

However, the same can unfortunately not be said for Harry who is the youngest son of the monarch.

Speaking to People, the royal author claims that the duke still has “unfinished business” with his relatives.

Omid added: “His challenge will be to find something that balances that out so we can see him working in a space that isn’t connected to the ties that bind from the past”.

His comments come amid reports Meghan and Harry have not received an invitation from the Royal Family to spend Christmas with them at Sandringham.

According to a friend of Harry’s, the couple “would love to” spend the festive period in the UK with the duke’s relatives as Charles has never spent the Christmas period with his two grandkids.

The last time the Sussexes’ spent a Christmas with the royals at Sandringham was in 2018 before they left the Firm and relocated to the US.

A source told The Sunday Times: “I can’t imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty. As of yet, there have not been any invitations for the holidays”.

Despite the Christmas snub, it’s been reported that Harry and Meghan did make a private phone call to Charles on his 75th birthday last week.

The couple are said to have shown the King a sweet video of Archie and Lilibet singing Happy Birthday for him which is said to have been a “turning point” in their frosty relations.

Prince Harry and Meghan humiliated at Golden Globes by host Jo Koy’s savage joke

The Sussexes did not attend the awards ceremony in LA last night but were brutally mocked alongside the rest of the Royal Family who were described as ‘rich, white and dysfunctional’ in the comedian’s opening speech.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not in attendance at the 2024 Golden Globes last night but still found themselves at the brunt of a savage joke.

The Duchess of Sussex was a hot subject before the annual ceremony took place in LA yesterday evening, with one former co-star revealing she’s not in the Suits star’s group chat.

The former royal couple were mocked by host Jo Koy during the comedian’s opening speech which also took aim at the ‘rich, white and dysfunctional’ Royal Family.

He said: “Succession has nine nominations. Just a great series about a rich, white, dysfunctional family, all scheming — oh, wait, that’s The Crown. I’m sorry.”

Koy then decided to target Meghan and Harry specifically as he made a dig at their lucrative Netflix deal which even left CEO Ted Sarandos laughing, the Express reports.

Koy said: “Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing. And that’s just by Netflix.”

His digs came after former Suits co-stars Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht discussed the possibility of Meghan returning to the show.

It has previously been reported that the 42-year-old is in “advanced talks” over a massive TV come back as her character of Rachel Zane in the American legal drama.

When to pushed to respond over whether Meghan would appear in any future Suits projects, Adams said: “Sure. Mike and Rachel in Seattle. They gotta come down to L.A., they gotta fix some stuff.”

Adams added: “She’s pretty popular right now,” to which the ET interviewer then replied: “I don’t know why?”

Adams responded: “Did you hear about Meghan? I’ll tell you later. There’s been a lot of stuff going on.”

The Duchess of Sussex was not present when the Suits cast had a mini reunion on stage at the Golden Globes as they presented an award.

Suits star Gina Torres, who plays Jessica Pearson in the show, also revealed on the red carpet that Meghan is not involved in the “insane” texting group chat they have.

She said: “Our text thread is insane right now, so it’s very exciting.”

However, when asked if Meghan was also involved in their conversations, she replied: “We don’t have her number. We just don’t.”

Meghan Markle reportedly has serious ambitions to run for president

Meghan Markle harbors serious ambitions to run for president of the United States, according to a report.

After the Duchess of Sussex and husband Prince Harry dumped royal duties with their historic Megxit this year, the 39-year-old former “Suits” star now has her eye on the White House, a close friend told Vanity Fair.

“One of the reasons she was so keen not to give up her American citizenship was so she had the option to go into politics,” the unidentified friend told the mag.

“I think if Meghan and Harry ever gave up their titles she would seriously consider running for president,” the friend added of rumors of a 2024 run.

Her biographer, Omid Scobie, also previously claimed that the former actress “has her eyes set on the US presidency.”

“Meghan is the embodiment of the American dream. One day we may see Meghan become president,” the author of “Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family” previously told a documentary, Vanity Fair said.

Harry and Meghan already sparked scandal with a video urging people to vote that heavily hinted that she was against President Trump, despite the long-standing practice for royals to remain politically neutral. She reportedly has also been cold-calling Americans, urging them to vote.

Buckingham Palace distanced itself from the scandal — insisting the comments were “in a personal capacity” and stressing that the pair were no longer working royals — while Trump said he was “not a fan of hers.”

“I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he’s gonna need it,” Trump said at the White House on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, some royal watchers are already writing off her chances of ever surviving a brutal presidential election race.

“I would state categorically that she has no chance of ever running for president. She would be eaten alive,” Andrew Morton, author of “Meghan: A Hollywood Princess,” told Vanity Fair.

“You need the skin of a rhino to run for office especially in America which is an utterly polarized nation. Look what happened to Hillary [Clinton], and she has lived and breathed high-octane politics since college.

“Americans don’t want lectures from Brits — royal blood or not. Just as we don’t want lectures from well-meaning Americans.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘reach out’ to Princess Kate as olive branch hangs in the balance

The Prince and Princess of Wales may not be open to resolving the Royal Family feud with the Sussexes

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reached out to Princess Kate and extended an olive branch, a source has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s relationship with Prince William and Princess Kate has deteriorated over the last few years.

Meghan and Harry stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020 and moved to the US later that year.

The couple have taken multiple public swipes at Kate and William with the most notable occurring in a 2021 TV interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry’s autobiography Spare, which was published in January 2023.

The Princess of Wales announced in March 2024 that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

Kate’s announcement came one month after Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles had a form of cancer.

Prince Harry rushed to the UK to see his father after the cancer diagnosis was made public.

However, the Duke of Sussex has not seen Kate since her cancer diagnosis.

Harry and his wife Meghan are now ready to end their feud with the Royal Family, according to an insider.

The source told Closer: “Meghan’s desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them – appearing like some sort of royal saviour could only do her image good.

“And, despite all their bad blood, her heart does go out to Kate – she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her.

“Meghan has made it clear she’d love nothing more than to move past all the nonsense and find a way towards healing for everyone’s sake. She’s ready to let the anger and bitterness go.

“Of course, it’s not really up to her and Harry, all they can do is continue to reach out and offer olive branches.”

It is unclear whether Princess Kate and Prince William would be open to resolving their feud with the Sussexes.

Following his February 2024 appearance in London, Harry outlined that he would see his family as much as possible during several planned trips to the UK this year.

However, during his most recent visit in May 2024, the Duke of Sussex did not see King Charles or Prince William.

TV host Peter Stefanovic slams ‘swell guy’ Prince Harry and claims he and wife Meghan Markle could run out of money after their $20M Archetypes Spotify podcast is axed

Peter Stefanovic has slammed Prince Harry for making explosive claims about his brother William in his controversial memoir, Spare.

The Sky News host was discussing the Duke and his wife Meghan Markles’ $20million Archetypes podcast being axed by Spotify on Tuesday when he criticised Harry on his ‘boring’ book.

‘Harry’s book is atrocious and just well boring. And I’m still stuck on the hanging your brother out to dry thing,’ Peter began.

‘But if he’s happy making his money, trashing his family and being able to deal with his conscious, then good luck to him. Sounds like a swell guy.’

‘Broken deals or not, they still make a lot of money out of it so they’re laughing to the bank but for how long?’

In his explosive memoir, Harry branded Prince William his ‘arch-nemesis’.

The Duke kept nothing back when writing about his very complex feelings about his older sibling – laying bare his bitter frustrations over his role as the ‘spare’ to William, who is the heir to the throne.

Harry also accused William of physically attacking him and claimed that the Palace planted negative stories about Meghan in the media.

In an interview with Good Morning America in January, Harry admitted he always felt there’s been ‘this competition’ between the two siblings, which he blames on their respective positions in the line of succession.

‘There’s a quote in the book where your refer to your brother as your “beloved brother and arch-nemesis”. Strong words. What did you mean by that?’ host Michael Strahan asked.

Harry then responded: ‘There has always been this competition between us, weirdly. I think it really plays into or always played by the “heir/spare”.’

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Markle’s Spotify podcast Archetypes will not be renewed for a second season.

The streaming giant and the Sussexes released a joint statement saying they have ‘mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together’.

But Bill Simmons, Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetization at Spotify, condemned the pair in an episode of his own podcast on Friday.

‘The f***ing grifters. That’s the podcast we should have launched with them,’ he said. ‘I’ve got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It’s one of my best stories.’

Meghan Markle feels ‘betrayed’ as Prince Harry reconnects with Kate Middleton

Royal source reveals Kate Middleton confides in Prince Harry about her battle with cancer

 

Meghan Markle feels ‘betrayed’ as Prince Harry reconnects with Kate Middleton

 

Prince Harry has reconnected with Kate Middleton since she was diagnosed with cancer, a source has revealed, adding that their “special” but “secret” reunion has not set well with Meghan Markle.

 

According to Life & Style, the Princess of Wales confides in Harry about her battle with cancer even though he leaked their private matters in his interviews and bombshell memoir, Spare.

While the two haven’t been seen together since the Duke of Sussex moved to US with his wife, an insider has claimed that the duo have reestablished contact.

At first, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex was “blindsided and felt, maybe, a bit betrayed,” however, due to gravity of Kate’s diagnosis, the former star set aside her feelings.

 

“She accepts that she wasn’t around when Kate and Harry first became friends” and knows that her husband “really respected and admired Kate before things got bad between all of them.”

 

So, the Duchess seems to have accepted their re-established bond, the source noted before alluding that it might lead to end of their years-long feud.

“Harry, William, Kate and Meghan haven’t put the past behind them just yet,” added the tipster. “For the first time in a long time, though, there’s promise.”

‘Woefully entitled’ Piers Morgan slams Prince Harry for giving Queen ‘massive headache’

PIERS MORGAN has hit out at Prince Harry, claiming that he seems to have “delighted” in making his grandmother, the Queen’s life “more difficult” at an already “difficult time”.

Prince Harry’s claim about why he has not returned to UK

Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan has savagely branded Prince Harry a “shameless, deluded, woefully entitled hypocrite” in his latest column for The Sun. The journalist, who left his GMB presenting job in 2020 after being called out for criticisms he made against Meghan Markle, appears to be angered over Prince Harry’s request for police protection for his family when they visit the UK.

Piers, 56, is an outspoken critic of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, whom he once accused of lying about having suicidal thoughts after the actress appeared in a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

Now, Piers has claimed that the Queen’s grandson has “piped up from his Californian mansion” at the time where she needs it the least.

Piers suggested that Harry was making everything “more difficult” for his grandmother “during the most difficult times of her life”.

Piers began by saying that he took issue with Prince Harry and Meghan’s television appearances at a time when Prince Philip was “dying in hospital”.

He went on to explain that, in the light of Prince Andrew’s current sexual abuse allegations which the Duke of York has denied, Harry was once “rubbing salt” in the Queen’s “emotional wounds”.

Harry’s threat of legal action after not being granted British police protection while in the UK, Piers argues, is causing his grandmother undue distress during another “difficult” time.

Piers said: “The petulant prince is threatening legal action – is there ever a time when he isn’t? Unless the Home Office caves and restores the royal security he enjoyed before his dramatic flounce to America.

“If he goes through with his threat, it will be the first time any royal has ever sued Her Majesty’s Government, and, of course, causes the Queen yet another massive headache at the worst possible time.”

Harry’s legal representative sent in a statement outlining his reasoning, part of which Piers included in his article.

The selected paragraphs read: “The UK will always be Prince Harry’s home and a country he wants his wife and children to be safe in. With the lack of police protection, comes too great a personal risk.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the UK. In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.”

At this, Piers scoffed: “What a load of disingenuous, self-serving, elitist poppycock.

“It takes a rare kind of brass neck to want the right to trash the Royal Family whenever it suits you but also insist on enjoying the trappings of being a member of that family without performing any of the, often mundane, duties that come with those trappings.”

Piers went on to blast Harry for his “hypocritical” behaviour, including examples such as “preaching about the environment whilst using private jets” and “bleating about privacy” while giving the public insight into his family’s private life.

The journalist concluded that Harry and Meghan were “not entitled” to police protection while they are in the UK on the basis that they are “runaways who’ve deserted their duty”.

Piers did make reference to the fact that Harry had offered to pay for the security himself, but said that he should get his “own personal security team and request police help with any specific incident or threat like everyone else”.

In addition to their comments above, Prince Harry’s legal representative also explained that he “inherited a security risk at birth, for life”.

In a statement, they said: “He remains sixth in line to the throne, served two tours of combat duty in Afghanistan, and in recent years his family has been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats. While his role within the Institution has changed, his profile as a member of the Royal Family has not. Nor has the threat to him and his family.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the UK. In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.

“The Duke first offered to pay personally for UK police protection for himself and his family in January of 2020 at Sandringham. That offer was dismissed. He remains willing to cover the cost of security, as not to impose on the British taxpayer. As is widely known, others who have left public office and have an inherent threat risk receive police protection at no cost to them. The goal for Prince Harry has been simple – to ensure the safety of himself and his family while in the UK so his children can know his home country. During his last visit to the UK in July – to unveil a statue in honour of his late mother – his security was compromised due to the absence of police protection, whilst leaving a charity event.

“After another attempt at negotiations was also rejected, he sought a judicial review in September 2021 to challenge the decision-making behind the security procedures, in the hopes that this could be re-evaluated for the obvious and necessary protection required.”

Kate Middleton’s Uncle Gary Slams Meghan Markle as ‘So Bad for Harry and for Our Country’

Princess Kate Middleton‘s uncle Gary Goldsmith does not like Meghan Markle, and he didn’t hold back when asked about her — even stating his belief that her marriage to Prince Harry won’t last.

“Let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around for ever, is she? I think she’s fickle. And I think she’s so bad for Harry and for our country,” Goldsmith told London’s The Times in a profile published on Saturday, March 23.

The outlet confirmed that “Laughing Girl” is how the Celebrity Big Brother alum refers to the Duchess of Sussex, 42, and noted that the interview took place more than a week before Kate, also 42, announced her cancer diagnosis.

While speaking about his niece, Goldsmith said he didn’t appreciate that Markle accused the royal family of making racist remarks.

“That’s why it makes me so angry about what Meghan said about Kate,” Goldsmith stated. While some have speculated that the comments came from Kate and King Charles III, Markle never actually named any royals while noting that there was a family discussion about son Archie’s skin color ahead of his May 2019 birth.

“Me and Carole [Middleton] grew up in a community as diverse as a Woolies pick’n’mix counter,” Goldsmith continued. “All the cultures you can think of. The idea that Laughing Girl says Kate is racist makes me furious. Kate knows her family’s roots and is proud of them. I’m sorry, but Laughing Girl is not good people.”

He also cited Meghan and Harry, 39, as among the reasons Kate and Prince William probably aren’t as happy now as they were 20 years ago. After citing Queen Elizabeth II‘s death and Charles’ cancer battle as stressors, Goldsmith went on to blame Prince Andrew (who has resigned from all public roles following his sexual assault scandal) and Harry for William and Kate’s unhappiness.

“Then they’ve also got this bloody uncle that no one would want, because the arrogance and naivety of Andrew is just beyond me,” Goldsmith said of Andrew, 64. “I’ve been in the same room as him and, believe me, that was enough. I’ve got more chance of making it onto the Palace balcony than he has. And then you’ve got Harry. F–k me!”

He continued: “He and that woman are chasing the American corporate dollar and that is so, so ugly. William, Harry and Kate were such a happy little trio and it got totally ruined. With all that going on — and there is other stuff going on that is not in the public domain — are they at their absolute happiest? No. Their kids bring them a lot of joy, but no.”

Still, Goldsmith expects Harry will eventually be welcomed back into the family with a simple apology, and that’s when he mentioned that he expects the prince to be single again at some point.

“No, I don’t have insider knowledge but my sense is the fam will never turn their back on Harry fully,” he shared. “He’s naive to think he can throw his family under the bus and still get invited for Christmas at Sandringham. I mean, how stupid can you be? Harry wouldn’t even make my pub quiz team, but he was loved by us all and he had the best job in the world. He had all the privilege but with diminished duties. He had the house, the money, the polo and could choose his royal patronages, with everyone accepting he was a bit fruit bat with the whole prince thing. I think he’ll be back but only if he says sorry. He upset his nan and that is unforgivable. But let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around for ever, is she? I think she’s fickle. And I think she’s so bad for Harry and for our country.”

Harry and Meghan, who married in 2018, share children Archie, 4, and Lili, 2. Though they are estranged from William and Kate, both reportedly reached out privately after Kate announced on Friday that she is undergoing “preventative chemotherapy” after her cancer diagnosis. They also shared a public statement of support.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” Harry and Meghan said in a statement to Us Weekly.
