Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said in a statement, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

The Sussexes’ comments come amid a yearslong rift between Harry and William.

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement his thoughts are with Kate and her family, adding, “She has shown tremendous bravery with her statement today.”

“In recent weeks she has been subjected to intense scrutiny and has been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social media. When it comes to matters of health, like everyone else, she must be afforded the privacy to focus on her treatment and be with her loving family,” he said. “I know I speak for the whole country in wishing her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back in action when she’s ready.”

Friday’s announcement follows reports that several staffers at the London Clinic, where Kate was admitted in January, are under investigation for allegedly trying to access the Princess of Wales’ medical records.

The announcement also comes weeks after she endured a photo editing controversy.

Kate marked Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, March 10, by sharing a photo on X of herself smiling and surrounded by her three kids. The image was the first official photo of Kate the public had seen since December.

The photo was picked up by several international news agencies, including The Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images and Agence France-Presse.

Those agencies later retracted the image, saying it may have been edited by the royals prior to its release.

The Associated Press said it appeared “the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards.”

The next day, Kate said her Mother’s Day photo was edited and apologized for any “confusion” those alterations caused.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she said in a statement on X. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.”

Meanwhile, Kate’s father-in-law, King Charles, is also undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.

The king’s cancer diagnosis — which came after he was treated for benign prostate enlargement — was announced publicly by the palace on Feb. 5.

The type of treatment has not been revealed.

The prime minister told the BBC in February that the king’s cancer was “caught early.”
