Prince Harry and his wife Meghan announced that they wish Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William and Harry's elder brother, health and privacy after the Princess of Wales revealed that she is receiving treatment following a cancer diagnosis. Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said in a statement, "We wish Kate and the family health and recovery, and hope they can do so in privacy and peace."
Kate, the Princess of Wales, announced on Friday that she is battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. The video statement came after weeks of speculation on social media regarding her whereabouts and health since she was taken to the hospital in January for undisclosed stomach surgery.
Kate, 42, had not made a public appearance since Christmas until a video surfaced this week showing her and her husband, Prince William, the heir to the throne, walking in a farmer's market near their home in Windsor.
The news represents another shock for the royal family since last month's announcement about King Charles III receiving treatment for an unspecified type of cancer, which was discovered during a prostate operation.
