Prince Harry and Meghan Markle break silence on Kate's cancer diagnosis - 'We wish health and healing'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released a statement after Princess Kate announced she has been diagnosed with cancer.

The couple said they wish "health and healing" for the Princess of Wales.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said: "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in January 2020.

The Duke last visited the UK following the recent cancer diagnosis of his father, King Charles.

Harry previously suggested there could be more visits to the UK.

"I'll stop in and see my family as much as I can," he told ABC News.

Kate confirmed in an emotional video on Friday that she has cancer but did not say which type of cancer she has been diagnosed with.

The princess said the news was a "huge shock" after an "incredibly tough couple of months".

But added that she was "well" and "getting stronger every day".
