Kim Kardashian is being pressed to apologise and take down her “insensitive” post about Kate Middleton after the royal announced on Friday that she is battling cancer.

On 17 March_, the reality starposted a photo of herself posing in front of a luxury car, while she was wearing leather pants and a black crop top. “On my way to go find Kate,” she captioned the post.

Prince William’s response to Prince Harry’s text message of support was not “the kind of warm, informal” response one would expect between brothers, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “Harry and Meghan have been in contact with William, but their private message was simply one of sympathy and didn’t include any suggestion the brothers should make up and let bygones be bygones or that Harry should fly back to the UK soon.

“There is just too much ill-feeling for that. William, who is still hurt by everything Harry has said in the past, has responded, but the response is very much engineered by the palace and it’s hardly the kind of warm, informal response you would expect from one brother to another.

“It’s more like the sort of communication you would get between two slightly wary diplomats.”

The two couples have led a strained relationship since the Sussexes announced they would be stepping down as senior working royals in 2020. The couple went on to make a series of revelations about the royal family in an Oprah Winfrey interview and an autobiography.

Following Kate’s video statement which revealed her cancer diagnosis, the Sussexes said: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

The family of Dame Deborah James, the late cancer campaigner who became known as Bowel Babe, have said she would have been “so proud” of the Princess of Wales for speaking out about her diagnosis.

The former journalist raised £5m for Cancer Research after being diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2016, five and a half years before her death in June 2022 at the age of 40.

Her parents Alistair and Heather James said: “Kate, William and their family are in our thoughts, and we send all our love from our family to theirs.

“Deborah would be so proud. The Princess of Wales has shown incredible courage in speaking out so publicly about her treatment.

“It takes huge bravery to do so, but her bravery will help millions of cancer patients and their families face this horrible disease.

“What’s more, in being so open and honest, Kate will undoubtedly encourage many more people who are living with potential symptoms of cancer, to seek medical help. In doing so, she will save lives.”

The couple added: “We know if Deborah were here to send Kate a message, she would tell the Princess of Wales to hold on to rebellious hope.

“Deborah was a firm believer in the power of hope, and given how many times she beat the odds to survive, rebellious hope became her mantra.

“We have no doubt her positive mindset helped her keep going, and gave us five years of precious memories together.”
