Prince Harry likely ‘feels more spare than ever’ in the wake of Kate’s public cancer announcement, a royal author has said.

The Princess of Wales revealed her diagnosis to the world on 22 March, however it is understood neither Harry nor Meghan were told of the announcement ahead of time, laying bare the extent of the royal rift.

Shortly after, the Sussexes shared a message of well-wishes to their in-laws and reportedly reached in private.

Royal author Dr Tessa Dunlop told the Mirror: “Harry is the self-identifying royal ‘Spare’. And in the wake of his sister-in-law’s health revelations, I expect he feels more spare than ever.”

Amid concerns of a growing rift, there is speculation Harry will visit his brother William when he returns to the UK this May to host an event for the Invictus games.

Dr Dunlop said she felt compassion for the couple, who left their royal duties in exchange for a life in California in 2020.

She added: “No, they don’t have cancer, and yes, they have been publicly critical of the British Royal Family. But in our own families, how many of us hold back our feelings on the off-chance a sibling or sister-in-law might get sick?”

Prince Harry will ‘have some explaining to do’ if he doesn’t return to UK, expert says

Harry is scheduled to return to the UK next month but if plans fall through ‘he will have some explaining to do’, claims a royal expert.

The Duke of Sussex is set to arrive from California to speak at a special service for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral next month.

Royal expert, Tom Quinn, said it is likely Harry will stick to schedule and return to home soil to avoid speculation he is avoiding his brother out of awkwardness.

He told the Mirror: “Barring a major upset, Harry will certainly return to the UK for the Invictus games in May – it’s his baby.

“If he decides not to come, it will take some explaining, because everyone will assume it’s because he doesn’t want the awkwardness of having to meet his brother or having to choose not to meet him.”

Mother who had preventative chemotherapy urges Kate Middleton to ‘stay positive’

Terri Grice, 50, felt a sharp pain under her armpit and a ‘tiny pea size lump’ under her right breast in 2011 but brushed off her symptoms.

Fortunately, her late husband Mark made her a GP appointment which led to a breast cancer diagnosis.

The mother-of-three from Chester started the long journey to recovery with an operation to remove the tumour, a lumpectomy, and then a course of “adjuvant chemotherapy” to ensure her body stayed cancer-free.

William and Harry may end feud – report

The infamous public feud between Prince William and Harry — deemed one of the worst in royal history — might finally see a resolution, a royal commentator has said.

The brothers might potentially reconcile due to the illnesses of both King Charles and Princess Kate, the commentator added.

Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun that “surprising” things could happen as early as “next week”.

The expert had previously suggested the possibility of a reunion when the Duke visits the UK in May to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

He also pointed out that Meghan could continue to pose a challenge in the reconciliation, however.
