Meghan Markle has two reasons for ‘encouraging’ Prince Harry to contact brother William
Meghan Markle is said to have “two reasons” for “encouraging” Prince Harry to contact the Royal Family in the wake of the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis announcement.
At the end of last week, Princess Catherine revealed to the world that she had been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. The announcement, which came as a shock to the world, came after weeks of speculation following the Princess undergoing abdominal surgery at The London Clinic earlier this year.
Soon after it was revealed that Princess Kate had been diagnosed with cancer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a statement. The Sussexes said: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace
It was then soon alleged that they had also “reached out privately” to the Waleses. And now an expert has said that Meghan “encouraged” her husband to make contact, with her having two reasons behind doing so
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, royal expert and author Tom Quinn has said: “Meghan is encouraging Harry to make contact with his family, partly because she will genuinely be sympathetic to Kate and William, despite their past difficulties, but she also knows how bad it will look if there is any sense that she’s not being sympathetic and that she’s not encouraging Harry to reach out.”
This comes after ITV’s royal editor Chris Ship, revealed that Prince Harry “reached out to his brother” after learning of Kate’s cancer. Mr Ship also added: “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
The Sussexes and the Waleses have been embroiled in an ongoing feud, which first became apparent when Meghan married into the Royal Family in 2018. Since then, the Sussexes have stepped back from royal life and unleashed several scathing claims in relation to their time within the royal fold, which has deepened the rift.
