Shortly after the Princess of Wales disclosed that she was receiving prophylactic chemotherapy for cancer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex showed up in Los Angeles.
On Thursday, March 21, Prince Harry and his spouse Meghan were photographed at the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection event held at SoFi Stadium. Meghan was heard saying to guests in an event video that was shared on attendee Matheos Coehlo’s Instagram: “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, the extension of that can mean you’re vocal about your success, they’ll see you and say you deserved it.” And ideally you arrive at that location. Many thanks therefore to the Kinsey family.”

Additionally, screenwriter Matheos posted a photo of himself smiling alongside the Duchess.
“Black achievement and contribution from 1595-present day through authentic artifacts and fine art” is celebrated by The Kinsey Collection and Foundation.
While Harry, 39, kept things casual in a dark suit and an open-necked white shirt, Meghan, 42, looked stunning in a floral Carolina Herrera wool cape. TV personality Shaun Robinson was present, along with Tina Knowles and Elaine Weltroth.
The appearance occurred just hours before 42-year-old Kate disclosed that she began receiving preventative chemotherapy in late February. The type of cancer has not been confirmed by Kensington Palace.
Later, Prince Harry and Meghan released a statement saying, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

Prior to the Princess’s January major abdominal surgery, it was believed that her condition was non-cancerous and that no tests had shown any evidence of cancer. But post-operative testing later indicated that cancer had been present, as Kate disclosed in a heartfelt video posted on Friday, March 22.
“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” the Princess said in her incredibly moving and powerful personal video message, which was filmed by BBC Studios on Wednesday.
“This has taken time, as you can imagine. In order to begin my treatment, I had to take some time to heal from a major surgery. Above all, though, it has taken some time for us to reassure George, Charlotte, and Louis that everything will be alright and to explain everything to them in a way that is suitable for them.”

Kate went on, “By concentrating on the things that will support my healing—in my mind, body, and spirit—I am well and growing stronger every day. It also gives me a great deal of comfort and confidence to have William by my side. As is the affection, encouragement, and kindness so many of you have shown. It is really important to us both.”
