As King Charles and the Princess of Wales recover from cancer treatment at the same time, we look at the incredible bond that they share
Shared experiences have a unique way of bringing people closer together. King Charles and the Princess of Wales have unquestionably found support from another while facing their individual health battles.
The timing of the pair’s illnesses has been eerily similar. In January, both Kate and Charles were treated in the same hospital, the London Clinic, at the same time and were able to offer reassurance to one another in the early stages of their treatment, reports the Mirror. Then, the announcement of their cancer diagnoses came just a month apart, Charles’ in February and Kate’s in March.
The princess has described her father-in-law as being “very, very welcoming, very friendly”. In 2004, she was invited to Charles’ 56th birthday party at Highgrove. There were also invitations to several family ski trips to Klosters – where Kate and William were first pictured together – and in 2008, the fact Kate was included on another ski trip showed that she was truly back in the fold after her brief split from William.
Charles backed this up in practical ways, too, allowing Kate to use his lawyers Harbottle & Lewis when she was besieged by paparazzi in the London years. He also offered up his house, Highgrove, as a bolthole for the young couple so they could spend time together privately – perhaps mindful of how much scrutiny the late Diana, Princess of Wales, had come under in the early stages of their relationship.
