Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly extended their well wishes to King Charles and Kate Middleton, who are both recovering from health issues. According to a source, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reached out to the King and the Princess of Wales separately to express their concern and support. Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles is scheduled to undergo a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate, while Middleton recently had planned abdominal surgery.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s gesture towards their estranged family members comes amidst ongoing tension and controversy within the royal family. Earlier, Piers Morgan alleged that author Omid Scobie labeled Charles and Middleton as the “racist royals” who expressed concerns about Prince Archie’s skin color. However, Harry and Meghan chose to remain silent on the matter.
Harry and Meghan’s well wishes may indicate a desire to mend relationships within the royal family. Despite their step back as senior members in 2020 and their subsequent move to California, the couple has reportedly felt isolated and misses their family. This sentiment was echoed by an expert who described Harry as “very lonely” in his current California lifestyle.
It is worth noting that Harry recently attended an awards ceremony in Beverly Hills without Meghan, raising questions about their current dynamic. Meanwhile, Middleton is expected to take time off from public duties during her recovery, and Charles’ successful procedure means he will also be out of the public eye for a short period.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s message of support to their family members showcases their involvement and concern despite the recent controversies. It remains to be seen whether this gesture will encourage a reconciliation or contribute to the ongoing divide within the royal family.
