Amidst Kate Middleton's unexpected cancer diagnosis, Prince William is said to be leaning on his younger brother, Prince Harry, for support.
Prince William grapples with the weight of Princess Kate's health news and expresses a significant need for his brother during these challenging times.
While supporting Kate in her recovery journey, Prince William is also focused on protecting their three children – 10-year-old Prince George, 8-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 5-year-old Prince Louis.
A Royal expert suggests that William 'urgently requires' Prince Harry's presence. However, their once-close relationship appears strained, as evidenced by a concise 22-word statement hinting at an extended healing process.
TalkTV's royal editor, Sarah Hewson, believes the sibling tensions are unlikely to ease in the near future. She notes that William is now prioritizing the safety and well-being of his young family.
Discussing on Times Radio, Ms. Hewson mentioned Harry and Meghan might have privately contacted Kate. Yet, she highlighted that Harry's previous comments about Kate in his memoir "Spare" and the Netflix documentary "Harry & Meghan" could hinder reconciliation.
Ms. Hewson commented, "William's need for his brother's support is palpable, but unfortunately, their bond seems strained."
With Harry's anticipated UK visit in May for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, royal enthusiasts ponder a potential reconciliation. However, royal expert Tom Quinn suggests any interaction between the brothers will likely be brief and carefully planned.
Quinn stated, "Considering Kate's health situation, any meeting between Harry, William, and Kate during Harry's UK visit will be brief and cautiously arranged to avoid sensitive discussions. Harry is aware of the situation's delicacy and public perception."
The Royal family continues to face challenges, with King Charles III and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, also confronting cancer diagnoses this year.
