At a time when King Charles is receiving cancer treatment, now the Princess of Wales is away from public duties indefinitely with her own cancer diagnosis.
The news about Kate could not come at a more difficult time for a Royal Family, which has been shaken by health issues since the start of the year.Kate’s office will not say what cancer she has and sources indicate that each individual reacts differently to the news and that the Princess has an expectation of medical privacy.
The added complication here is William and Kate’s three young children, and the couple had to work out when was best to tell them. It's understood that the children have known about their mother's diagnosis for a while, but the preference was they shouldn't be in school when it was announced publicly.It also took time for Kate and William to come to terms with the diagnosis, as well as time for her to recover from her other operation so she could start her “preventative chemotherapy”.The cancer was not discovered when she had her major abdominal surgery but later during post-operative tests.
But for a Royal Family already running on reduced capacity, with the King largely out of action, it is a huge set back.William and Kate will now spend the Easter holidays privately with their children. It has been a terrible start to 2024 for the Royal Family but the good wishes of the UK, and indeed many countries around the word, will be with both the Princess of Wales
