Wales, revealed her cancer diagnosis, was reportedly distant and formal.
According to royal author Tom Quinn, while Harry and Meghan expressed their sympathy, their message did not include any attempt at reconciliation or suggest Harry should return to the U.K. soon.

He added that William’s response was carefully crafted by the palace, making it more diplomatic than personal.
