According to royal expert Tom Quinn, the Prince of Wales may not have welcomed Harry's message of support warmly, as it evoked memories of past conflicts between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family. Quinn noted that William, still nursing old wounds from previous remarks made by Harry, responded to his brother's message. However, the response seemed more formal and orchestrated by the palace, lacking the warmth expected between siblings.
Quinn further explained that Harry and Meghan's gesture didn't indicate a desire to reconcile or mend fences, as there is too much bitterness lingering between the parties involved.
Despite this, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a public statement expressing their solidarity with Kate after her cancer diagnosis became public knowledge. Additionally, reports suggest that they privately reached out to the estranged royals to convey their support during this challenging time.
