During a challenging time for the royal family, Kate Middleton recently underwent abdominal surgery in January. This called for support from her fellow royals, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have had strained relations with Kate and others due to interviews and documentaries.
Before their wedding, tensions had already arisen between Kate and Meghan. These tensions escalated when Meghan revealed in an interview that Kate made her cry over wedding arrangements. The royal family was caught off guard by Harry and Meghan’s public revelations about their struggles.
Despite this family turmoil, Harry and Meghan reached out to Kate when she had her surgery. It was revealed by royal expert Robert Jobson that Kate didn’t join the senior royals at Balmoral due to a request from Prince Charles, who wanted to keep the gathering intimate.
In an effort to present a united front, Harry, Meghan, William, and Kate appeared together after Queen Elizabeth’s death. However, the joint appearance was challenging for Kate, given the strained relations with Harry and Meghan.
Harry’s recent visit to the UK stirred controversy, particularly his meeting with King Charles. Camilla reportedly felt outraged by Harry’s behavior, seeing it as a PR stunt. This tension highlights the ongoing rift between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royal family.
While Kate recovers from her surgery, Harry and Meghan have extended their support to her and King Charles. Meghan’s efforts have been seen as a positive step towards reconciliation, reflecting Harry’s desire to mend familial ties.
However, PR expert Ryan McCormick has warned Harry and Meghan against speaking publicly about Kate’s surgery. The concern is that such public statements may fuel speculation and worsen tensions. This speculation has already led to demands for more updates from the palace about Kate’s health.
Respecting Kate’s privacy, Kensington Palace has chosen to provide updates only when necessary. The palace prioritizes Kate’s well-being and her desire for normalcy, especially for the sake of her children.
