The source further emphasized the absence of trust, suggesting that it is the primary reason for the lack of transparency in sharing information with Meghan and Harry. In early February, Prince Harry returned to his home country for the first time in nearly a year after receiving the news of King Charles' cancer diagnosis. During this visit, Kate had already undergone her surgery and was recovering at the Windsor estate where the Sussexes were staying. However, it remains unclear whether Prince Harry made any contact or inquiries about Kate's well-being behind the scenes, as he did not visit her during his time in the UK.
A source close to the royal household expressed their disappointment, stating, "It would be the normal run of things to go and see your sister-in-law who's had a serious operation and also see your niece and nephews. But it isn't normal. It's terribly sad." The situation highlights the strained relationship and lack of communication between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family, leading to them being kept uninformed about Kate's health.
