Prince William and Kate have put ‘Harry problem’ to back of their minds in wake of cancer battle and ‘have no plans for reconciliation during Duke of Sussex’s expected May UK visit’

The Prince and Princess of Wales have put the ‘Harry problem’ to the back of their minds in the wake of Kate’s cancer battle and are understood to have no plans for a reconciliation during the Duke of Sussex‘s expected visit to the UK in May.

Harry and Meghan are believed to have made contact with William and Kate ‘privately’ on Friday night following the princess’s video revealing she is receiving ‘preventative’ chemotherapy.

It is not clear if the contact was a phone, video call or some messages of support – while the possibility of whether Harry will fly back to the UK is unknown.

It was also claimed in the United States that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex only learned about Kate’s condition at the same time the world heard the news.

A royal expert claimed Kate chose not to tell Harry and Meghan about her cancer because they ‘can’t be trusted’, The Sun reported.

Harry is hoping to attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The solo visit – likely without Meghan and their two young children Archie and Lilibet – could be an opportunity to build bridges with his estranged brother William.

Sources close to William and Kate have suggested that, with both Kate and King Charles’s cancer diagnosis, the ‘Harry problem’ is the last thing on their minds, according to The Telegraph.

A royal source told the newspaper this weekend that William ‘has always done all he can to protect his family’ – meaning he is focused on ensuring Kate’s privacy and protecting their children.

Sources told the New York Post that the couple had ‘no idea’ about Kate’s illness.

The contact between the two brothers was disclosed by ITV Royal Editor Chris Ship.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, had previously described Kate as the ‘big sister I never had’ when she became engaged to William 11 years ago.

However, his relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales has fractured following the bitter aftermath of Megxit.

Kate last met Harry after the Queen’s death in September 2022, when they joined their spouses on a walkabout in Windsor.

Last week, the rift between William and Harry was more than evident as the brothers made dueling appearances at a memorial event for their mother Princess Diana, with William leaving the ceremony before Harry joined via video link.

The Princess of Wales announced her diagnosis in a video message on Friday, explaining that the cancer was discovered after her abdominal surgery.

She said: ‘The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found that cancer had been present.

‘As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

‘But most importantly it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I will be okay.’

Hours after the news, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a short statement wishing the Princess of Wales and her family ‘health and healing’.

The couple said they hoped Kate and her family would be ‘able to do so privately and in peace’.
