AMANDA PLATELL: She’s a trouper – but we must not expect too much of Kate on her return

“The gravity of this situation may be so large that it could melt away long-held grievances. Yes, Meghan and Harry have their faults but, family is family. Their feud could very well end immediately.”

Ryan also suggested the Sussexes managed to hit back at some of the cruel speculation surrounding Kate’s health. He said: “I think the last part of the Duke & Duchess’ statement was intended to rebuke those spreading false stories and rumours about Kate.”It was also a respectful pea to give the family the space they need.” He said while their statement was short, there was likely a reason for it, telling us: “Meghan and Harry’s statement was very brief. I thought it could have been more personal and loving but, they may have been advised to keep it short.”
