Prince Harry Learned of Kate Middleton's Cancer Diagnosis on TV: Report
Prince Harry reportedly didn't receive any warning that Princess Kate Middleton had been diagnosed with cancer before her public announcement.
"It is understood that Kate's cancer diagnosis was not shared in advance with Harry and Meghan [Markle]," The Times of London reported on Saturday, March 23. "Several sources confirm that there were no such conversations and it is thought Harry found out about Kate's diagnosis from television, at the same time as the public."
When asked for comment, a Kensington Palace spokesman told the outlet: We do not comment on private conversations.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a statement of support shortly after Kate, 42, released a video announcing her diagnosis. "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," the couple said.

She added, My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I'm now in the early stages of that treatment. This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.
William and Kate, who married in 2011, share Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirits, Kate added. We hope that you'll understand that as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I'm able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.
