The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been diagnosed with a serious and potentially life-altering illness, a palace representative later confirmed. While the couple has asked for privacy, sources close to the Duke and Duchess revealed that Meghan is facing an aggressive autoimmune disease that requires long-term treatment and may impact her daily life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1228\">\u201cThis has been a devastating few weeks,\u201d Harry admitted. \u201cWe are leaning on each other, holding our children close, and taking things one day at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1570\">The announcement was made during a brief press conference at the couple\u2019s California home, where Harry and Meghan have lived since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Their two young children, Archie and Lilibet, were not present, but Harry confirmed they have been told that \u201cMummy\u2019s not feeling well right now, but she\u2019s very brave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1910\"><a class=\"google-anno\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.chainityai.com\/fighting-back-tears-harry-began-it-is-with-a-heavy-heart-that-i-share-the-news-meghan-has-been-diagnosed-with-his-voice-faltered-as-doctors-confirmed-the-difficult-battle-meghan\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKlCwdleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFCTmN0WDY5RHVxeXhzUFhQAR5TRs8CGwUHAxXNQwJBQwanyUucr6SJWLW5L9WSW9ZpVUVU61fY51thf3VjKw_aem_9D0sRceXAVdKZLiutlUNDQ#\" data-google-vignette=\"false\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\">\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Doctors<\/span><\/a>\u00a0familiar with the case, while not revealing specific details, confirmed that Meghan will begin an intensive treatment protocol that may include both medication and lifestyle adjustments. \u201cIt will be a difficult journey,\u201d one physician noted, \u201cbut with early intervention and the right care, there is reason for cautious optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"2227\">Support for Meghan poured in almost immediately. Friends, fans, and fellow royals all shared words of encouragement. The Prince and Princess of Wales, despite recent tensions, reportedly reached out privately.
