Prince William and Kate have put ‘Harry problem’ to back of their minds in wake of cancer battle and ‘have no plans for reconciliation during Duke of Sussex’s expected May UK visit’

The Prince and Princess of Wales have put the ‘Harry problem’ on the back burner in the wake of Kate’s battle with cancer and are believed to have no plans for a reconciliation during the Duke of Sussex’s expected visit to Britain in May.

It is believed that Harry and Meghan contacted William and Kate ‘privately’ on Friday evening, after the princess revealed in the video that she is receiving ‘preventative’ chemotherapy.

It is not clear whether the contact was a phone call, video call or a series of messages of support – while the possibility of Harry flying back to Britain is unknown.

In the United States, it was also claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex only learned about Kate’s condition at the same time the world heard the news.

A royal expert has claimed Kate chose not to tell Harry and Meghan about her cancer because they ‘cannot be trusted’. The sun reported.

Harry hopes to attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The solo visit — likely without Meghan and their two young children Archie and Lilibet — could be a chance to build bridges with his estranged brother William.

Sources close to William and Kate have suggested that with both Kate and King Charles diagnosed with cancer, the ‘Harry problem’ is the last thing on their minds, according to The Telegraph.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have had ‘private’ contact with the Prince and Princess of Wales on Friday evening

A royal source told the paper this weekend that William has “always done everything he can to protect his family” – meaning he is focused on ensuring Kate’s privacy and protecting their children.

Sources told the New York Post that the couple had “no idea” about Kate’s illness.

The contact between the two brothers was revealed by ITV Royal Editor Chris Ship.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, had previously described Kate as the ‘big sister I never had’ when she got engaged to William 11 years ago.

However, his relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales has broken down following the bitter aftermath of Megxit.

Kate last met Harry after the Queen’s death in September 2022, when they went on a walk around Windsor with their husbands.

Last week the rift between William and Harry became more than apparent when the brothers dueled at a memorial event for their mother, Princess Diana, with William leaving the ceremony before Harry joined via video link.

The Princess of Wales announced her diagnosis in a video message on Friday, explaining that the cancer was discovered after her abdominal surgery.

She said: ‘The operation was successful but tests after the operation revealed cancer was present.

‘You can imagine that this took time. It took me time to recover from major surgery before I could start my treatment.

‘But most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that suits them and to reassure them that I will be fine.’

Hours after the news, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a short statement wishing the Princess of Wales and her family “health and healing.”

The couple said they hoped Kate and her family could “do this privately and in peace.”
