Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's short message to
Kate Middleton after she announced her
cancer diagnosis would have been appreciated, but the pair returning to the
UK would not be as it would only serve as a 'distraction', an expert claims. The Princess of Wales bravely announced she has cancer in a televised video message on Friday evening and has been inundated with messages of love and support since then. Among those sending their well wishes were the Duke and
Duchess of Sussex who are believed to have found out about their sister-in-law's poor health when the rest of the world did with them reportedly being kept in the dark until the global announcement.

There's an awful lot of things that have to happen before that is a possibility. I think that would just be a nasty distraction I think." In the wake of Kate Middleton's shock cancer announcement, which she is undergoing treatment for, Meghan and Harry released an official statement which read: "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace." Public relations guru Lynn Carratt from Press Box PR also claims that their short message and the fact they found out alongside the public shows just how serious the rift is between Harry and William, which shows no signs of mending in the near future. Lynn told the Mirror: "There is nothing like an illness in a family to bring them closer together. Royals latest news Kate's cancer is 'unusual for age' Piers Morgan slams Meghan's Kate message
BBC address claims Kate video was edited William struggling with Kate's cancer "It was reported that Harry and Meghan only found out about Kate’s cancer at the same time as the rest of the world, which shows how wide the gulf between the Sussex’s and the Waleses is at the moment." She added: "I am sure Harry, in particular, will be devastated by the news of Kate’s illness. Before his marriage to Meghan, he was very close to her and used to refer to her as the sister he never had. "He will also be worried for his brother William who as well as supporting his wife, he is having to deputise for his father who is also undergoing treatment for cancer."
