“Multiple sources confirm that there were no such conversations and it is believed that Harry learned of Kate’s diagnosis on television, at the same time as the public.”

Upon learning of the diagnosis, the “Spare” author, 39, and the “Suits” alum, 42, issued a brief statement. showing his support for Middleton.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and her family, and hope they can do so privately and peacefully,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said.

“They had no idea and found out about the news around the same time the rest of the world found out,” a source told us. “This shows the irreparable damage they have caused. Trust has been broken and the royal family is fine distancing itself from them.”
