It has been a challenging period for the royal family, as they have been hit with two shocking health crises. First, Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton, underwent a planned abdominal surgery and is currently recovering at home. Then, the devastating news came that King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment.
The British monarchy has faced a significant upheaval with the announcement of King Charles III’s diagnosis. Although the specific type of cancer is undisclosed, it has been confirmed that it is not prostate cancer. Despite the challenges ahead, the King expressed his gratitude for the public’s support and well wishes.
In the midst of this difficult time, there is tension between King Charles and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. The couple made the decision to step back from their royal duties and leave the UK over three years ago. They cited feeling unsupported and unprotected by the royal institution and the British media as their reasons for leaving.
In their Netflix documentary series, Harry & Meghan, the couple opened up about their experiences within the royal family. Meghan described their life as being in a controlled bubble, where she couldn’t even text her friends a photo. Harry acknowledged that Meghan’s experience was different from others in the family, and it was unfair to expect her to endure the same pressures.
During their interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry and Meghan shed light on the lack of support from the royal family, especially regarding negative press coverage. They also addressed instances of racism, with Meghan revealing discussions about Archie’s skin color before his birth. The racism she faced took a severe toll on her mental health, leading to thoughts of suicide.
In light of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry took the initiative to visit his father. However, he made the journey alone without Meghan and their children. Meghan’s absence was seen as a deliberate choice, with some suggesting that she believed it was something Harry needed to face on his own.
While opinions differ on Meghan’s decision, some speculate that she might not be happy if Harry rebuilds his relationship with his father. Regardless, the situation remains a complex one for the royal family.
