Meghan Markle has not offered any personal words of comfort to Kate Middleton following the Princess of Wales’ heartbreaking cancer diagnosis. While a brief joint statement was issued by Meghan and Prince Harry in March, it left many stunned by its cold tone and lack of warmth.
The world was left emotional when Kate Middleton appeared in a heartfelt video message, revealing her cancer battle and her journey through preventative chemotherapy. Yet Meghan, once photographed smiling beside the Princess, has chosen to stay completely silent beyond a single sentence.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a carefully worded note, saying they “wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they can do so privately and in peace.” But this one-line response raised more questions than answers.
Royal insiders were quick to notice Meghan’s personal absence from the statement. Despite the gravity of Kate’s condition and the public’s overwhelming support, Meghan has refused to speak from the heart. For a woman known for championing empathy, her silence has been deeply unsettling.
According to sources close to the Sussexes, Meghan and Harry only learned of Kate’s diagnosis through the news, not through personal communication from the royal family. This detail shocked many, highlighting the deep fracture between the two sides.
Once seen as close sisters-in-law, Meghan and Kate have not been photographed together in years. Their relationship soured after Meghan and Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, and the tension has only grown more visible since then.
Despite once calling the royals “the family she never had,” Meghan has made no effort to reconnect during what may be the most difficult chapter of Kate Middleton’s life. Observers are calling her silence calculated and emotionally distant.
Kate Middleton, the future Queen, earned immense praise for the courage she showed in her video announcement. The Princess asked for space as she battled the illness privately, all while still managing to smile for the public during rare appearances.
Her brave return to Wimbledon recently alongside Prince William and their children made headlines globally. But Meghan Markle, who once sat beside Kate at the same event, has shown no public gesture of support or acknowledgment of Kate’s struggles.
Even a simple note of compassion or a statement of solidarity could have gone a long way. But Meghan remains focused on her Hollywood pursuits and private ventures with Archewell, avoiding the royal headlines that once defined her global brand.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry has taken cautious steps toward reconciliation with his father, King Charles. Peace talks have begun, according to insiders, but Prince William has remained completely uninvolved. The rift with his brother remains deeply personal.
Reports suggest that Harry is now even willing to visit the UK alone and leave Meghan behind if it means having a chance to reconnect with his family. But many royal watchers believe that William has not forgotten the pain Harry and Meghan brought upon his wife.
Kate Middleton was widely believed to have been deeply hurt by Meghan’s portrayal of her in the Oprah interview, especially regarding the now-infamous bridesmaid dress incident. Forgiveness, it seems, is far from reach.
Even during her cancer diagnosis, Kate has maintained her composure. She has refused to engage in drama and has continued to represent the monarchy with quiet strength. Meghan’s ongoing silence during this time has only made the divide feel wider.
Supporters of Meghan argue that she is honoring Kate’s request for privacy. However, critics believe her silence is nothing more than an extension of her long-standing feud with the royal family and her refusal to mend broken ties.
With Kate’s health still uncertain, the public expected a different response from Meghan Markle. But the Duchess of Sussex has made it clear that her voice, often used to advocate for global change, will not be used for her sister-in-law.
For now, Kate Middleton continues to battle cancer with grace and courage, while Meghan’s silence grows louder and more telling each day.
