“Unforgettable”: Prince William breaks silence for first time since Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis announcement
Prince William has become even more vital to the royal family than ever before. As his wife, Kate Middleton, and father, King Charles, both received cancer diagnosis and began treatment, he and Queen Camilla stepped up their efforts with their royal duties. After several weeks off with his and Kate’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, it’s time to return to business and continue royal life.
In a few weeks, Prince Harry is set to return to the UK for a special Invictus Games service at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Some experts argue that Harry and William could be having a meeting, but as Prince William no longer speaks with his brother and their last meeting ended up being a fiasco, it might be a bad idea.
At the same time, William is focusing on helping Kate Middleton as much as he can. He gave the public some minor updates after her abdominal surgery, but since Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis, things have been rather quiet. Until now, as the future king breaks silence on social media.
Prince William has been at the center of the rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The future king and his brother have had a troubled relationship for many years, but things turned ugly as the Duke lashed out at the royal family, including Kate Middleton.
Prince William and Prince Harry’s feud
Kate Middleton wasn’t the only one receiving significant criticism in Harry’s book. In one passage, the Duke said Camilla would be cruel to him “like all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks.” Moreover, he bashed his father, King Charles, for not even hugging him after his mother, Princess Diana, had passed away.
There were many stories, and the royals didn’t have any of them. Prince William also received his fair share of criticism from his brother, and today, the two don’t speak at all. In fact, it is said that William doesn’t even want to be in the same room as his brother.

Shortly after Spare was released, a source told the Daily Mail that the situation had become a “toxic stalemate.”
“William has no intention whatsoever of apologizing and remains incandescent, especially around the way his wife, the Princess of Wales, has been treated. The relationship isn’t even rock bottom now — it’s nonexistent. And I just don’t see if Harry were to come to the coronation how William could even bring himself to look his brother in the face,” the source said.
The brothers’ relationship has been at rock bottom ever since. The two have only met a handful of times, but as of today, Prince William and Prince Harry are barely ever speaking to each other. As strange as it might sound, the recent, shocking events within the royal family could be a turning point; at least, that is what Harry is said to believe.
When King Charles received his cancer diagnosis in January, the world was left in shock. At the same time, Kate Middleton underwent her planned abdominal surgery, and on March 22, she revealed she had cancer as well.
Prince William “would not allow” Harry to return to royal life
As soon as Harry found out about his father’s cancer diagnosis, he jetted to the UK to spend time with his father. The trip to his homeland was swift but, of course, it didn’t end without controversy.
At the time, Prince Harry was said to be open to a temporary return to the royal family to support his sick father. The two were said to have had several “warm exchanges” when Harry visited his father, and their meeting lasted about 30 minutes. However, that Harry could possibly return to royal life was not something William was having a bar of.
In mid-February, Prince William and King Charles reportedly held several private meetings at Sandringham in Norfolk. A source told the Mirror then that there was “no chance” the future king would allow Harry to ever return to royal life.
“Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he [William] would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now,” the source said.
As Prince Harry returned to the UK to briefly see his father, the royal expert stated that William had “got used to Harry being rude, unkind, and attacking his wife.”
So, how did Harry’s meeting with Charles go? According to a National Enquirer source, Harry left Camilla “outraged” after the meeting and even asked him to leave.
Camilla saw Harry’s visit to the UK to see his father as a “PR stunt.” The same went for Prince William, who was said to have been outraged over his brother’s visit, even though they didn’t meet.
