of preventive chemotherapy
and I am now in the early
stages of that treatment, Kate Middleton, via 'Time'.
'TIME' reports that several sources have supported
the idea that Kate's diagnosis was not shared
with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in advance.

A serious illness can change
everything and bring families
together. This may happen.
Harry will return to see his
father and perhaps the
brothers will see each other, Richard Fitzwilliams, Royal historian, via 'Time'.
It could open the path
to reconciliation in the weeks
and months ahead. However,
it is unlikely at the moment, Richard Fitzwilliams, Royal historian, via 'Time'
