Piers Morgan criticised Meghan and Harry following Kate Middleton’s heartbreaking announcement about her cancer diagnosis.
The 42-year-old future Queen of England shared the news of her preventative chemotherapy after abdominal surgery in a poignant statement released on Friday. In response, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle conveyed their wishes for Kate’s health and healing, hoping for privacy and peace for her and her family.
However, Piers Morgan, known for his confrontational stance towards Meghan, questioned the sincerity of Meghan and Harry’s message, especially in light of recent reports suggesting tensions between the Sussexes and the Cambridges.
Referring to Meghan and Harry’s past criticism of Kate, Piers remarked, “Is that the same Kate who they’ve been trashing as a racist?”
Tensions between the Sussexes and the Cambridges have escalated, particularly with the release of Harry’s book, “Spare,” where he hinted at tensions within the family. Meghan also disclosed a disagreement with Kate over bridesmaids’ dresses but noted Kate’s subsequent apology.
Despite the strained relations, ITV’s royal editor Chris Ship revealed that Harry has reached out to his brother, suggesting a potential thaw in their relationship. Some believe Kate’s illness could prompt reconciliation within the family.
PR expert Ryan McCormick viewed Meghan and Harry’s message to Kate as a positive sign for their relationship with the royals. He suggested that the gravity of Kate’s situation could help mend long-standing grievances within the family.
Ryan also interpreted Meghan and Harry’s statement as a rebuke to false rumours about Kate’s health, which had circulated before her official announcement. He noted that while their statement was brief, it likely aimed to respect the family’s need for space.
Reflecting on William’s situation, dealing with both his father’s cancer diagnosis and Kate’s illness, Ryan speculated that these challenges could prompt a reevaluation of priorities. He predicted that William might seek reconciliation with Harry amid these difficult times, as they may need each other’s support now more than ever.
