LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, despite their estrangement from the royal family, are reportedly feeling that they are being overlooked in matters concerning significant royal news, as reported by OK Magazine.

The revelation follows reports indicating that Prince Harry was informed about Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis just a day before it became public knowledge, in contrast to other senior monarchy members who had prior knowledge "for weeks".

"Harry was told about Kate's cancer the day before Kate's video was released, and they are definitely being kept up-to-date with Kate's condition — apart from anything else, ignoring the couple completely would only lead to public attacks from Harry and Meghan and how they are being kept out of the loop and treated badly as usual," royal author Tom Quinn explained to an outlet.

"They already feel annoyed and frustrated that they are no longer prioritized when it comes to this sort of thing — it just reinforces their sense of victimhood, and that, rather than leaving the royal family, they were pushed out," he added while highlighting how Team Sussex processes royal actions.

"They are being told things in advance, but only the major things."

Quinn continued: "The details will always be kept from them, simply because they are no longer part of the inner circle — let's not forget they brought this on themselves when they decided to leave Britain and cease to be working royals."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, were reportedly among the last to learn about Princess Kate's recent cancer diagnosis, according to recent revelations.

Princess Kate shared her journey with the public through a video statement on March 22, detailing her successful surgery followed by the discovery of cancerous cells and the subsequent recommendation for preventative chemotherapy.

Recent reports suggesting that Prince William and Kate Middleton have extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in an attempt to mend fences have been met with skepticism from online observers.

According to royal expert Tom Quinn, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge proposed the idea of a family reunion, urging Harry and Meghan to bring their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the United Kingdom. However, Meghan is said to have declined the invitation, highlighting the complexities underlying the ongoing rift between the two couples.

Quinn emphasized the challenges in the proposed reconciliation, stating, "There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK."

Despite William and Kate's efforts, the suggestion of a family gathering has not made significant progress toward resolving tensions.

The strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family has been apparent in recent years, exacerbated by public revelations and candid interviews.

Meghan and Harry have openly addressed their grievances, with the couple making damning allegations against their family members in various media appearances.
