Harry and Meghan Joined by world leaders and celebrities in sharing support for Kate

Harry and Meghan have been joined by world leaders and celebrities in sharing messages of support for the Princess of Wales after she revealed she is receiving treatment for cancer.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a message of support for their sister-in-law in a statement, saying: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

The princess announced on Friday evening that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

In a personal video, the future queen said she had wanted time to explain to her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, “to reassure them that I am going to be okay”, following weeks of speculation about her health.

‘We will climb this one with you’

King Charles, who is also currently being treated for cancer, shared a message of support for his daughter-in-law, with Buckingham Palace saying: “His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did.

“Following their time in hospital together, His Majesty 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.”

Following Kate’s announcement, her brother James Middleton posted a photo of the two of them together as children, saying the family would rally round.

“Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too,” he wrote on Instagram.

James is the younger brother of Kate and their sister, Pippa.
