Royal confidant: Insider reveals Prince Harry stands by Kate Middleton amid cancer battle
- Replies 9
When faced with the daunting challenge of battling cancer, individuals often find themselves relying heavily on the support and strength of their families.
The journey through cancer treatment is not only physically demanding but emotionally exhausting, and the unwavering love and encouragement of family members can make all the difference.
This seems to be the case for Princess Catherine, who has reportedly found an unexpected source of support in her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, following her cancer diagnosis.
The Duchess of Cambridge's health concerns came to light after a period of speculation, which was only heightened by the release of a doctored photograph of her with her children.
The palace's silence was broken when Kate courageously announced on March 22 that she had been diagnosed with cancer post-surgery and had commenced chemotherapy.
The news sent shockwaves around the world, prompting an outpouring of support for the Duchess, including a heartfelt message from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who expressed their wishes for her health and healing.
‘We wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,’ the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement.
However, the story didn't end there. Despite the well-publicised rift between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, and the ensuing distance between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family, Harry appears to have been a confidant and source of solace for Kate during this challenging time.
A royal insider revealed that Kate and Harry share a special bond that has endured despite the public drama.
‘She and Harry were extremely close at one time,’ the source explained.
‘She’s confided in him during some of her darkest moments, and now that includes her cancer battle.
‘Kate’s leaned on Harry for support,’ they added.
The Duchess's decision to contact Harry may have surprised many, including Meghan.
‘Meghan was blindsided and felt, maybe, a bit betrayed at first,’ the insider shared.
However, understanding the gravity of the situation, Meghan reportedly set aside any feelings of animosity for the sake of Kate's well-being.
‘She accepts that she wasn’t around when Kate and Harry first became friends,’ the source continued, noting that the friendship started two decades ago.
They also mentioned that Meghan knew that Harry ‘really respected and admired Kate before things got bad between all of them’.
Prince William, too, was taken aback by Kate's outreach to Harry, as per the insider.
They said, ‘He was surprised and concerned,’ especially given the recent tensions exacerbated by Harry's memoir, Spare, which laid bare their strained relationship and the family's alleged mistreatment of Meghan.
Without a doubt, Prince William ‘continues to have trust issues with Harry,’ the source said.
Yet, faced with his wife's health crisis and his father, King Charles III's own cancer treatment, if Kate believes that talking to Harry will assist her in coping with the situation, Prince William ‘won’t interfere’, according to the insider.
According to them, people familiar with the brothers acknowledge that they are different individuals.
‘While Kate loves William and she does confide in her husband, it’s easier to talk about certain things with Harry,’ they said.
‘He’s always been a good listener.’
Kate's previously strong bond with Prince Harry suffered as a result of his escalating conflict with Prince William, which the Duke of Sussex claimed began during their childhood while grieving the loss of their mother, Princess Diana.
Tensions heightened after Meghan entered the picture.
In his memoir, Prince Harry detailed several conflicts with Kate, alleging that she made Meghan cry before their wedding over the fit of daughter Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress and overreacted to a lighthearted comment Meghan made about Kate having ‘baby brain’ after the birth of son Prince Louis in 2018.
However, Prince Harry also expressed his strong fondness for Kate, stating that when Prince William married her, ‘I loved my new sister-in-law, I felt she was more sister than in-law, the sister I’d never had and always wanted, and I was pleased that she’d forever be standing by Willy’s side.’
In numerous ways, Kate—similar to Meghan—was pulled into the unfolding drama between their husbands.
‘There were many incidents, before and after Meghan came into the picture, where Kate played peacemaker for the brothers,’ the insider shared, who sees these recent calls as a sign that ‘there's still hope’ for a reconciliation between the two Royal couples.
While Meghan had planned to remain in California, Prince Harry's visit to London for a service commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games— the sporting event he founded for injured soldiers—on May 8, could have served as a test run.
Unfortunately, there were no public arrangements for any senior royals to attend.
Although Prince Harry hopes that his conversations with Kate could indicate a broader improvement in relations, according to the source, he is not currently anticipating further progress.
‘Harry, William, Kate and Meghan haven’t put the past behind them just yet,’ the source said.
‘For the first time in a long time, though, there’s promise.’
This connection sheds light on the dynamics between Prince Harry and Princess Catherine, offering a deeper understanding of their relationship beyond the public eye.
