An olive branch for sick Royals

'They contacted both to pass on best wishes'

HARRY AND MEGHAN OFFER SUPPORT TO THE KING AND KATE

HARRY and Meghan have given their support to the King and Princess of Wales following their health scares.

It came as Charles prepares for a prostate operation and Kate yesterday spent her fifth day in hospital after major abdominal surgery.

The move, which will be considered an olive branch, comes nearly two months after Charles, 75, and Kate, 42, were publicly named in an alleged race row over the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's eldest child Archie, four.

A source said: "The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes."

It comes after months of claims of a severely strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family.

This week, it was revealed the King has quietly made provision to stop Harry acting as a substitute for him if he falls ill or is abroad.

It followed antagonising revelations in two recent high-profile books.
