Harry and Meghan found out about Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis 'on TV'
Prince Harry found out about his sister-in-law's cancer diagnosis at the same time as the rest of the country, according to reports.
Kate, 42, revealed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy in an emotional video message on Friday. In the video, said to have been filmed on Wednesday, the future queen said: "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.
The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. "My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment." In a fresh statement on Saturday night, Kensington Palace said: "“The prince and princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message. “They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.” Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer in February, is said to be proud of his “beloved” daughter-in-law for her courage in speaking about her treatment and has remained in close contact during the past few weeks.
However, according to the Sunday Times, Prince Harry and his wife were not made aware of her cancer diagnosis before the statement was released at 6pm on Friday.
