Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain updated with key information about Kate Middleton's health amidst ongoing tensions within the royal family.
Contrary to an earlier report by the New York Post suggesting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex learned of the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis from media headlines, a subsequent update clarified that the couple was informed a day before the public announcement.
Royal commentator Tom Quinn told The Mirror that the palace is carefully managing the information flow to keep the Sussexes informed while maintaining discretion. Quinn stated, "Prince Harry was briefed about Kate's health a day before her public announcement. The couple is being consistently updated about major developments regarding Kate's condition."
Ignoring Meghan and Harry could potentially lead to public criticism from the couple, accusing the royal family of exclusion and bias. Quinn elaborated on their sentiments, saying, "The Sussexes already feel sidelined and believe they've been unfairly treated. They feel their reduced role within the royal family wasn't a choice but a result of being marginalized."
While the Sussexes receive preliminary briefings on significant matters, detailed information is withheld due to their changed status outside the core royal circle. Quinn concluded by noting their altered relationship with the monarchy, adding, "They are given advance notice on major events. However, intricate details remain confidential. Their choice to step back from royal duties and relocate has naturally distanced them from central family affairs."
In essence, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are kept informed about key family matters, including Kate Middleton's health updates, but the dynamics of their relationship with the royal family remain complex and carefully navigated.
