Kate Middleton has reportedly relied on Prince Harry for emotional support.
The British royal family is in disarray.
In March, Kate Middleton announced that she had cancer. What followed were months of PR blunders, a prolonged and mysterious seclusion and, of course, King Charles’ already public battle with cancer.
This is a difficult time for the Princess of Wales. Luckily, she receives a lot of emotional support from brother-in-law Harry.
The royal initially hid Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis
In January, the Princess of Wales underwent mysterious abdominal surgery. The story went that she had to spend months recovering from it before appearing in public.
Obviously this raised numerous questions. Some joked that she had undergone a Brazilian butt lift (given the recovery time), while conspiracy theorists speculated that she was dead. There were compelling arguments that she and William were having marital problems.
Wild speculation grew after an apparently fake family photo of Kate and her children emerged on (British) Mother’s Day. It was a silly PR nightmare that forced Kate to explain her disappearance in March.
Kate Middleton announced to the world via video that doctors had discovered signs of cancer during her abdominal surgery. During her suspicious absence, she had undergone chemotherapy.
While Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle reportedly learned of Kate’s cancer along with the rest of the world, they expressed their condolences.
“We wish Kate and the family health and healing,” the Sussex couple said in a statement. “And I hope they can do this privately and in peace.”
Kate Middleton leans on Prince Harry, courts report
According to a report by Life & StyleKate Middleton called Prince Harry for a chat during this difficult time.
“Everyone assumes Kate doesn’t like Harry, but they have a special bond that not many people really understand,” an inside source pointed out.
“She and Harry were very close at times,” the insider added.
“She has confided in him in some of her darkest moments,” the source then said of Kate Middleton’s bond with her brother-in-law Prince Harry.
“And now,” the insider explained, “that includes her battle with cancer.”
The source then characterized their recent conversations: “Kate has leaned on Harry for support.”
This emotional relationship surprised Prince William
“He was surprised and worried” when Kate reached out to Harry, the inside source said of William. He’s still bitter about Prince Harry’s best-selling memoir. Spare part.
Since Harry shared his experience, the insider said that William “continues to have trust issues with Harry.”
However, the source added that William “won’t get involved” if his wife reaches out to his brother.
“While Kate loves William and confides in her husband, it is easier to talk to Harry about certain things,” the insider explained.
The source then characterized: “He was always a good listener.”
That makes sense. Plus, Prince Harry obviously never cheated on Kate. Sometimes it’s just easier to talk to your brother-in-law than your husband because there’s less baggage.
