Both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, wished “health and healing” for Kate Middleton, after the news of her cancer came out. In a brief statement, the estranged British royal couple hoped Kate and her family were able to heal “privately in peace”.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they can do so privately and in peace”. The use of two words — health and healing for Kate and the family has led analysts to hope for a family reunion soon.

Kate or Catherine, 42, revealed on Friday she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing the “early stages” of treatment. She also described her diagnosis as a “huge shock” in a video released on social media.

Two months ago, Kate had refrained from the public appearance for a surgery for a non-cancerous abdominal condition but later tests revealed cancer was present.

While the details are not available, the wife of Prince William, future heir to the British throne, said she is “well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.”

Prince Harry not singing national anthem ‘God save the King’? Here’s the truth

The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at the Westminster Abbey on Monday raised questions on Prince Harry for not singing in chorus the national anthem “God save the King”.

Besides the British royal family, 2,000 state heads gathered at Westminster Abbey for the funeral and they reportedly paid tribute to the monarch by singing ‘God Save the King’.

But some netizens were quick to point out on social media that Prince Harry didn’t join the royals in singing the anthem and the claim had a video of the Prince seemingly not singing.

The video shows the Duke of Sussex looking around and not syncing words frequently as the new anthem gets changed from the Queen to the King. Many Twitter users accused the Prince of being “disrespectful”.

One user wrote, “Prince Harry not singing the national anthem.” Others expressed their disappointment with Prince Harry’s actions.

Before the debate heated up, others were quick to point out that Prince Harry was, indeed, seen with lips moving. “Give him a chance. It’s changed since the last time he sang it – he hasn’t learnt the new words yet,” wrote a user. Many others said they could see him singing clearly.

“I can see Harry’s lips moving. He’s obviously not singing like he’s at karaoke, but he clearly forms the “Qu” sound and he shuts his mouth at the end. You’re a hateful non,” wrote another. Whoever sees the video (above) can make out that he is not singing loudly but at the end made lips sync with the tune.

A third user joined the debate saying, “Edward wasn’t singing either. I think it’s sometimes hard to sing when you’re emotional.”

Harry was seen sitting behind his father, King Charles III, and the Queen Consort Camilla. His wife Meghan Markle was seen by his side throughout the service.

Britain’s longest-serving Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral aged 96, ending an era of 70 years of rule. Her family was at her bed side at the Scottish estate since earlier on Thursday.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The Queen came to the throne in 1952. Following her demise, the Operation London Bridge, codename to post-Queen formalities, will come into effect.

Her eldest son Charles will lead the country in mourning as the new King with the title, King Charles III, and take over as head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms from Canada to Australia.

In a statement, the new King said, “The death of my beloved mother Her Majesty the Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”

Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was appointed by the Queen on Tuesday, said the monarch “provided us with the stability and strength that we needed”.

Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Ms Truss, born 101 years later in 1975, reported BBC.
