Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, recently launched her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, coinciding with The Diana Awards, amid health concerns within the Royal Family. Critics, including Royal expert Tom Quinn, have suggested that the timing of the launch was a strategic move, aiming to redirect attention from Princess Kate and King Charles’ revealed cancer diagnoses. The launch, particularly through footage shared from Meghan’s Montecito mansion, has drawn criticism for attempting to capitalize on Princess Diana’s legacy while the Royal Family navigates health crises.

In response to Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis disclosure, royal commentator Richard Eden has encouraged Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to seek reconciliation with Prince William and Princess Kate. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have been estranged from the Royal Family since their 2020 move to the U.S., were reportedly unaware of Kate’s health issues before the public announcement. Eden highlighted the strained relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William, suggesting the upcoming Easter as an opportune time for the Sussexes to apologize and mend ties.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to host a traditional Easter Sunday celebration at Windsor Castle, adjusting plans to accommodate the King’s cancer treatment. The event will feature a limited attendance church service and a lunch showcasing a favored menu of roasted lamb and other indulgences, in line with the late Queen Elizabeth’s tastes. The decision to maintain a safe distance from other royal family members during the church service reflects both the King’s cautious approach to his health and his first public appearance since beginning treatment.

Both King Charles and Princess Kate’s openness about their cancer diagnoses has led to increased public engagement with cancer support organizations, reflecting the royal family’s influence in raising awareness and support for health challenges. Princess Kate’s bravery in sharing her treatment journey has particularly inspired others to seek information and support, highlighting the role of public figures in addressing health crises and fostering community solidarity.
