Meghan Markle has reportedly urged Prince Harry to reconnect with his brother as the royal family continues to come to terms with its health struggles.

Royal author Tom Quinn said that the Duke of Sussex still has “vague hopes” that he will be forgiven by his estranged family and be offered a “minor role” – four years after he and Meghan stepped down.

The claims come amid a series of health scares among the family which has seen several senior royals step back from public duties.

The Princess of Wales released an emotional video message last Friday revealing she has started a course of preventative chemotherapy.

The King has also been diagnosed with cancer and has stepped back from public facing duties as he undergoes treatment.Much of his duties have been taken on by Camilla, who arrived at the annual Maundy Thursday service at Worcester Cathedral today in his place.
While Charles will not attend the service, a personal Easter message was broadcasted in his absence in what was his first public statement since the Princess of Wales told the world of her cancer diagnosis.

The King has given a personal address to the nation in a pre-recorded Easter message broadcasted at the annual Maundy Thursday service today.

Charles’s audio address was broadcast to a congregation at Worcester Cathedral in his absence, due to the monarch’s continuing cancer treatment.

It did not directly refer to the King and the Princess of Wales’ treatment for undisclosed types of cancer, but highlighted those who “extend the hand of friendship” – likely to be interpreted as the nation’s response to the monarchy’s double health scare.

Charles reaffirmed his coronation pledge in his address: “The act of worship, here in Worcester Cathedral, reminds me of the pledge I made at the beginning of the coronation service – to follow Christ’s example ‘not to be served but to serve’.

“That I have always tried to do and continue to do, with my whole heart.”
