Harry and Meghan’s message after Kate’s bombshell cancer diagnosis
Harry and Meghan say they are wishing the Princess of Wales “health and healing” after she announced her shock cancer diagnosis.
“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the couple said in a brief statement to Harper’s Bazaar.
It remains unclear if Harry will return to the UK, as he did after King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

“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.”

She has since received a global outpouring of support.
Among the first to praise her bravery was King Charles.
“His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,’ a palace spokesman said today.
“Following their time in hospital together, HM has ‘’remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks’.”
“Both Their Majesties ‘will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time’.”
Harry and Meghan last week denied a statement that had been attributed to sources within their camp that claimed Meghan would have been “annihilated” for photo-shopping an image, as Kate was accused of.
The pair denied that such a remark - as reported by Page Six - had come from their team.

They have not publicly addressed the speculation surrounding Kate’s health, or the cruel conspiracy theories that dominated late-night shows in America and whipped up online trolls.
Last week, the pair launched their latest business venture - American Riviera Orchard - at the height of the furor.
The brand will sell items like homemade jam.
