Overview
- Russell Myers’ forthcoming biography reports that sister Pippa Matthews helped craft the script for Princess Kate’s March 2024 video announcing her cancer diagnosis.
- The book portrays the Middleton family as a quiet support network during treatment, describing regular visits, calm dinners and help keeping the children occupied.
- Excerpts say Kate stepped back from mediating between William and Harry, identifying the Oprah interview as the key break after strains that began around the 2018 wedding.
- Sources in William’s circle quoted in the book dispute Prince Harry’s memoir account of a physical attack at Nottingham Cottage, asserting there was no violence.
- Another passage recounts William describing Kate’s diagnosis as “like being hit by a bus; sudden, brutal and completely disorienting,” according to what he reportedly told a close friend.
