Royal commentator Sarah Vine has told Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to "apologise" to the Royal Family after it has been revealed that Kate has been diagnosed with cancer.
The Princess of Wales released a heartfelt video message on Friday, where she told the public she has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and will be having preventative chemotherapy.
Harry and Meghan Markle are understood to have made contact with William and Kate "privately" on Friday night following the announcement. The possibility of Harry flying back to the UK, like he did when he found out about King Charles's cancer diagnosis, is unknown.
Sources told the New York Post that the Sussexes had "no idea" about Kate's cancer diagnosis.

PAThe Royal expert Sarah Vine said: "They really do need to apologise. Can I just say that? I mean stress is a major factor in cancer.
"I mean they have said much worse things about the King and the Princess of Wales than anyone in the mainstream media has said, to be honest."
A royal commentator told The Sun, Kate did not tell Harry and Meghan about her cancer because they "can't be trusted".
Sarah Vine also noted that Princess Catherine did not make her health battle public knowledge so she could "protect" her children.

Kate described her plight as “a huge shock” and confirmed she had, together with her William, 41, personally broken the news to their children – but told them: “I am going to be ok.”
Kate was admitted to hospital on January 16 for major abdominal surgery, which has been confirmed as successful.
At the time of her operation it was thought that the condition was non-cancerous, as no tests had confirmed the presence of cancer.
Post-operative tests confirmed cancer had been present.
