Piers Morgan has suggested that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s team leaked claims the couple have reached out privately to Prince William and Kate Middleton following Kate’s unexpected cancer announcement.

The ex-Good Morning Britain host, who previously mentioned hearing “alarming things” about Kate before she publicly shared her cancer news last Friday, appears to have taken a jab at the Sussexes as reactions continue to pour in regarding the Princess of Wales’ health situation.

Kate, 42, revealed last Friday that tests conducted after her surgery on January 16 showed the presence of cancer. In her video statement confirming her diagnosis, which was recorded in Windsor on Wednesday, Kate spoke about “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family”.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” Kate said in the video released on Friday night. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she said.

After Kate’s message was shared, Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, also expressed their support for Kate and the family. “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the couple stated, reports the Mirror.

Following this, ITV’s Royal editor Chris Ship revealed that Prince Harry, who lives in California with his wife Meghan, “has reached out to his brother”. On Twitter, he said: “Prince Harry has reached out to his brother, Prince William after learning of Kate’s cancer. Harry and Meghan have both been in touch with their brother/sister-in-law but did so privately. It not clear if that was a phone/video call or some messages of support.”

On Sunday night, American magazine People reported their understanding “that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have privately reached out to the Prince and Princess of Wales amid Kate’s cancer diagnosis.”

Sharing their report on Twitter, the magazine wrote: “Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Privately Reached Out to Kate Middleton and Prince William After Cancer Announcement.”

Piers, 58, quote-tweeted People’s original post and added: “If it was done ‘privately’ then how do you know?” The broadcaster added an emoji of a face with a monocle.

It’s believed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not informed about Kate’s cancer diagnosis before the news was made public on Friday night. Reports suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex found out about Kate’s preventative chemotherapy at the same time as everyone else.

An insider told the New York Post that Harry and Meghan “had no idea” about Kate’s health when the news came out. The source said: “They had no idea, and only learnt of the news around the same time the rest of the world found out. This goes to show the irreparable damage they have caused. The trust has been broken and the royal family is OK distancing themselves from them.”
