Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis could pave way for truce between feuding brothers William and Harry
LONDON, ENGLAND: Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis may work as the ultimate impetus to bring Prince William and Prince Harry together following years-long feud, claims royal correspondent.
Sean Mandell - the royal correspondent who created the ‘Spilling Royal Tea’ podcast - recently shared in an interview with TMZ that the unprecedented family crisis may bring the feuding brothers ultimately together.
On Friday, March 22, the 42-year-old Princess of Wales shocked her fans worldwide by sharing a video message where she announced her cancer diagnosis.
The royal sources, however, believe that the sudden health crisis may finally bring the Wales family and the Sussexes together.

Royal correspondent Sean Mandell weighs in on the reconciliation
Mandell theorized that the sudden health crises in the royal family - including King Charles and the senior royal member Kate’s cancer diagnoses - may facilitate the reconciliation.
Saying, “They do have a dearth of talent right now,” Mandell said that, “I think there is an opening” for the Sussexes to reconcile with Prince William and Kate.
He reminded the audience that, “Harry and Kate used to be incredibly close. They were very much brother and sister when Kate married into the royal family”
So much so that, “He was the third wheel to the couple,” and attended several public engagements together, before his marriage to Meghan Markle. However, Mandell thinks that a health crisis of this magnitude can reconcile the two brothers who have since grown apart.
The royal correspondent also believes Harry will personally reach out to his sister-in-law which may melt some ice between the brothers.
Referring to the new Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, and his wife Sophie, Mandell said that many other royals are coming back to royal duties. Now that his father and sister-in-law both have fallen ill, Prince Harry may return to the royal fold.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan indeed reached out to Kate upon learning her cancer diagnosis. Within a few hours of Kate’s message, they sent a supportive message, writing, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” per Page Six.
Internet falls short of forseeing royal truce amid Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis
Internet remains divided at the idea of the reconciliation between the two brothers. Whle one group hails the idea, the other slammed it.
One of the social media users said on Facebook, "Let’s hope so. Together they are stronger."
"Looks like Harry didn't lie about the firm. God bless Kate," said someone else.
Another fan chimed in, "Shouldn't the recent deaths of their grandparents have given them the chance? How many chances do they need? How many people have to die or almost die for them to realize life is too short to hold a grudge?"
"I hope they do reconcile, and I pray she is healed. Cancer unfortunately did not end a heartbreaking estrangement in my personal family experience," said someone else.
Someone else noted, "Ummm wasnt their father also diagnosed with cancer too, and what did that do for the brothers. I think William now has more on his plate to worry about than he ever did. And its so sad."
"I hope the can all come together over their differences. Sometimes devastating news is what makes family realize family is everything, everything else is petty & should be able to discuss appropriately. Everyone has wants, needs & feelings. People need to remember that for each other," added another netizen hopefully.
