Breaking his silence, the Archbishop of Canterbury revealed the King's plan for the Sussexes and passionately defended Kate during a discussion on Times Radio.
Archbishop Justin Welby dismissed conspiracy theories about Kate as mere village gossip, emphasizing the importance of respecting people's privacy, especially regarding health concerns. He stressed that individuals should be allowed to undergo medical procedures and live their lives without facing constant scrutiny and demands for proof.
In January, the Princess of Wales underwent planned abdominal surgery, necessitating a two-week hospital stay, according to Kensington Palace. Despite assurances of her privacy until Easter, media attention surrounding her health and whereabouts has persisted, fueling frenzied speculation. The Archbishop addressed concerns about the morality of these conspiracy theories, lamenting society's obsession with sensationalism over empathy for those thrust into the public eye.
Joining the chorus defending Kate's privacy, UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer advocated for leaving her in peace to recuperate. He echoed the Archbishop's sentiment that individuals deserve privacy, particularly during times of illness or recovery. Additionally, the Archbishop disclosed that Megan and Harry were deliberately excluded from access to Princess Katherine's health details, a decision made by King Charles to safeguard Kate's privacy.
Despite their usual inclusion in royal matters, Megan and Harry found themselves sidelined regarding Kate's health updates. Megan's frustration at being kept out of the loop reportedly led her to propagate harmful conspiracy theories, causing distress to the Princess. As Kate convalesces, the palace has tightened security around her, guarding against leaks and breaches of her medical information.
While Harry attempted to reconnect with his family during a recent visit to the UK, strained relations and lingering distrust prevented him from seeing William and Kate. This lack of normalcy underscores the rift within the royal family, exacerbated by Harry's public revelations in his book and television projects. Prince William's concern for Kate's well-being remains paramount, but lingering distrust towards Harry persists, hindering familial reconciliation.
