It doesn’t come as a surprise that all eyes of the British public are on Kate Middleton and King Charles. While Kate is currently recuperating from the “planned” abdominal surgery and the King is receiving treatments in London for his cancer, well-wishes come pouring in from every part of the world. The public was worried how these health scares could affect the royal family while the Palace reassured them that Kate was “doing-well” despite the fact that they hadn’t provided any details regarding her surgery and her long hospital stay.
Among those who sent their well-wishes and wished both the Princess and the King a speedy recovery were Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The relationship between them and the rest of the royals seems to be at an all-time low but the fact they reached to Kate and Charles could be the first step to end the feud.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been accusing the members of the Firm for various things and they have condemned the Palace for not assisting Meghan when she was in need of help and had suicidal thoughts. The very first allegations against the royals made by Harry and Meghan were during the infamous Oprah interview when among the rest they accused a senior royal of questioning the sking color of then unborn Archie.
Once they settled in the States, the Sussexes gave plenty of interviews, and Harry published his book Spare in which he revealed secrets and spoke of what was going behind closed doors while he was still a working royal.
The relationship between Meghan and Kate has also been a rocky one.
At the time Queen Elizabeth’s health declined, both Kate and Meghan were asked not to travel to Balmoral, but the real reason was they didn’t want Meghan there and Kate was only told to stay behind so that things looked fairer.
Jobson said, “Kate deliberately stayed away, but she desperately wanted to be there with the Queen in her last moments. That’s eaten Kate up and has built up resentment towards Meghan.”
During the funeral, Kate and William, as well as Harry and Meghan, walked alongside one another, and according to Jobson, “Catherine later admitted to a senior royal that, such was the ill feeling between the two couples, the joint walkabout was one of the hardest things she’d ever had to do.”
According to the media, Harry and Meghan learned of Kate’s surgery through the news and they reached out to her right away.
“The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health,” a source told the Mirror. “The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.”
“Meghan has contacted Kate and Charles,” the source said. “So moves are being made to reconcile.”
At the same time, the source noted that Meghan has been very supportive of Harry’s attempt to make things right with his family. Harry also “wishes the royals—Kate included—the very best.”
Royal historian Marlene Koenig praised both Harry and Meghan for how they handled the situation, as per GB News.
“It was reported that they sent private messages, which would be the right thing to do,” she said.
However, although Kate is to return to her royal duties around Easter, Harry and Meghan could make a massive mistake by beginning to speak about the princess publicly, according to PR expert Ryan McCormick. McCormick urges the Sussexes not to refrain from speaking about Kate Middleton, at least not before she has returned to royal duty, as per the Mirror.
“Harry and Meghan would be best suited to not make any public comments about Kate,” he said, because any public revelation could be interpreted wrongly and it could lead to more speculations.
“Anything they said would be over analysed and if they were to wish Kate speedy recovery, speculation would run rampant about what is happening behind the scenes,”
The PR expert continued, “The Duchess & Duke can slowly begin to possibly regain trust from the royal family by doing exactly as they are instructed to do.”
