Harry & Meghan didn’t have clue

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were completely oblivious to Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis until it made headlines across the globe, sources told The Post.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly blindsided, learning of Middleton’s health struggle on the very day the tragic news broke to the world.

“They had no idea and only learned of the news around the same time the rest of the world found out,” an insider disclosed.

“This goes to show the irreparabl­e damage they have caused,” the source said.

“The trust has been broken and the royal family is OK distancing themselves from them.”

Reps for the couple did not return The Post’s request for comment.

However, the exiled royals did issue a brief message of support following

Middleton’s announceme­nt. “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement Friday. The timing of this bombshell comes shortly after a recent visit by Harry (inset) to London in early February, where he briefly reunited with his father, King Charles III, following news of the monarch’s own battle against cancer.

King Charles III had disclosed his diagnosis while undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate back in January, setting off alarms within the royal circle. Middleton publicly revealed she had undergone abdominal surgery at The London Clinic, the largest independen­t private hospital in the United Kingdom, at around the same time.

But it was only Friday that the 42-year-old mom of three disclosed her cancer diagnosis to the world, following speculatio­n.
