Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been cut off from the Royal Family's communication network and are not regularly updated on how the King and Kate, the Princess of Wales are, a royal expert claimed.

The Palace has imposed an "information blackout" on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex following the cancer diagnosis of the top two royals, according to columnist Maureen Callahan.

After the Princess of Wales announced she was undergoing cancer treatment last month, it emerged Harry and Meghan only learned about her diagnosis like the rest of the public. They followed up the release of release of Kate's announcement video with a statement wishing her well.

Speaking to GBN America, Callahan said: "The only real thing that Meghan Markle and her husband have to merchandise is their connection to the Royal Family, it really is the singular point of interest for either of these people.

"What's true, that we know, is that Harry and Meghan are now in a complete informational blackout. They have no idea what is going on with the health of Kate.

"They have really no idea, it seems, what's going on with the King so she has really nothing to offer."
