Kate Middleton has just revealed that she is in the early stages of cancer treatment. Rumors and speculations about her medical condition have been numerous since her abdominal surgery, and even her marriage to Prince William has been questioned. Moreover, gossip about her relationships with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been going on for years, and as the Princess of Wales is now ill, it has again received significant attention.
After the surgery, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle contacted Kate Middleton, sending her their best wishes. Reportedly, the same went for when they learned of her cancer diagnosis.
While Kate Middleton received much criticism after the Mother’s Day picture, which turned out to have been manipulated, Harry and Meghan continued their pursuit of success in the US. Sadly, a royal expert claims the Duchess took advantage of Kate’s challenging situation.
Kate Middleton and the royal family have gone through some very tough months of late. Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was diagnosed with a form of skin cancer in mid-January, and not long after, King Charles was also diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton underwent abdominal surgery, and ever since, speculation about her well-being has been ongoing.

At first, Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales was set to return to royal duty after Easter. In the months that followed, no major reports were given on Kate’s health status, and as time went by, conspiracy theories spread online. One was more bizarre than the other, however.
In one way, as Kensington Palace didn’t release any confirmation about the princess’ medical condition and health status, it wasn’t strange that people wondered what had happened—or even feared the worst.
Things escalated as Kate Middleton posted an edited photo of herself, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis for Mother’s Day, which was backlashed. The image of her and her children was manipulated, and news agencies pulled the picture from their websites.
The global news director of Agence France-Presse, one of the world’s biggest news agencies, claimed that Kensington Palace will never be a trusted source again. Meanwhile, CNN announced they would start a thorough investigation into all pictures issued by Kensington Palace in the past to see if any others had been treated with similar editing.
Conspiracy theories grew larger by the hour following the manipulated picture. History repeated itself as once again Harry and Meghan were dragged into the discussion, and as soon as Kate’s surgery was announced, questions were asked about whether Harry and Meghan had reached out.
It didn’t take long before it was confirmed that they indeed had.
A source told the Mirror: “The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. “The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.”

The source told the US news outlet that Meghan had contacted Kate – as well as King Charles.
