Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Out of the Loop on Royal Family Health Issues, Says Expert
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s separation from the core of the British royal family appears more profound when it comes to being informed about critical family matters, particularly the health of King Charles and Kate Middleton. According to royal expert and columnist Maureen Callahan, the couple is currently facing a “complete informational blackout” regarding the health conditions of other royal family members, told by GB News.
Since their move to California in 2020, Harry and Meghan’s connection with the royal family has seemingly weakened, with initial reports suggesting that Harry had almost no relationship with his family members. Although there have been signs of improvement in the relationship between Harry and his father, King Charles, over the past few years, the latest developments suggest a significant information barrier.
In February, a public announcement revealed that King Charles was diagnosed with cancer and had begun receiving treatment. Shortly after, in a similarly startling revelation, it was disclosed that Kate Middleton was also undergoing treatment for cancer. Reacting to the news of his father’s illness, Prince Harry immediately flew to the United Kingdom, indicating some level of familial concern and involvement.
However, Callahan’s comments to GBN America, as reported by Express, paint a different picture of the current dynamics. “They have no idea what is going on with the health of Kate. They have really no idea, it seems, what’s going on with the King, so she has really nothing to offer,” Callahan stated, highlighting the extent of the informational void that Harry and Meghan are experiencing.
Speculations persist about when Harry and Meghan were informed of Kate’s health issues, with rumors suggesting that they might not have known until the news became public. This scenario underscores the complexities and perhaps the strains within the royal family communications, especially concerning sensitive matters such as health.
The situation raises questions about the implications of their estrangement from the royal family, not just on personal relationships but also on their access to important family news. As the royal family navigates through these health crises, the distance between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the family seems to widen, marked distinctly by their exclusion from critical updates. This development adds another layer to the ongoing narrative of their complicated relations with the royal household since stepping back from their senior royal duties.
