Kate Middleton And Prince William Are ‘Going Through Hell’ – Close Friends Reveal How They Feel About Kate’s Condition

Published on May 12, 2024

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, startled the world by sharing a moving video in which she disclosed her ongoing fight with cancer.

Despite how tragic it was, the public, as well as Kate’s close friends and family, have been incredibly supportive.

Following widespread concerns about her health, Kate recently talked about her absence from public and the lingering health rumours.

Her original report stated that she had had surgery on her abdomen. However, after a few rumours began to circulate regarding her whereabouts and possible fate, she made a video to make her position clear.

She revealed that a cancer diagnosis had been made. Although the kind of the illness is still unknown, she divulged that she has begun “preventative chemotherapy” and is presently in the “early stages of that treatment.” The diagnosis, according to Kate, came as a “huge shock” to her and her family.

Kate also discussed her reasons for keeping her illness a secret in the video. She wanted to make sure her kids understood what was going on, but she also stated that she needed time to recover from her last operation.

She said again, “It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louie in a way that’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be OK.”

Kate has had support from her friends and family despite the fact that this has been challenging for her. Particularly helpful has been King Charles III, who is also coping with his cancer diagnosis.

According to a spokesman for Buckingham Palace, King Charles is extremely proud of Kate for her courage.

Kate has maintained regular communication with the King, who has consistently provided her with support. “Both King Charles and the Queen will keep supporting the whole family through this hard time,” the official continued.

Alongside her, Prince William has been balancing his royal responsibilities. He’s been interacting with a lot of folks who are worried about his spouse. When asked how Kate and the kids were doing at one of his public engagements, he replied, “We are all doing well, thank you.”

While attending her royal obligations, Queen Camilla also met two girls who were creating posters for Kate.

Touched by the affection Kate was showing, Queen Camilla reassured all by saying, “‘I know that Catherine is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support.”

Everyone, including those close to Kate, has been worried. However, Amaia Arrieta has also talked about Kate’s difficult circumstances.

She is the family’s favourite designer and a close friend. Amaia used to think back on her interactions with the royal family. She stated, “Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look.”

When the designer learned about Kate’s medical condition, though, she became quite upset.

She was unable to comprehend the difficulties the family must be facing. “I’m heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through hell, I hope they will be back. It’s really personal,” she said.

Gary Goldsmith, Kate’s maternal uncle, also discussed her health. He gave her kudos for handling the challenging circumstance.

He disclosed that he was only made aware of Kate’s cancer diagnosis a few hours before to its public release.

Gary was impressed by her fortitude in overcoming health issues and educating her kids and the outside world about everything. “She has done phenomenally, she has managed it wonderfully, she has been honest and transparent and it seems that she is recovering and it is all preventive,” said Gary.

Gary continued by saying that he had not spoken to Kate since learning of the prognosis because he wanted to give the family privacy while they processed the devastating news within.

James and Pippa, Kate’s siblings, may not be seen with her in public, but they are there for her in the background.

After marrying Prince William, Kate made a vow to her family that she would never abandon them, according to royal researcher Katie Nicholl.

Her brother sent her a childhood picture of them with a mountain in the background as a token of his sincere support. It stood for the difficulties they had encountered together.

He wrote the heartfelt message, “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”

Most significantly, Kate has always enjoyed the steadfast backing of Carole and Michael Middleton, her parents. Katie said that since disclosing her cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales has been depending on her parents.

It is understandable that Carole and Michael found the diagnosis difficult to accept. However, according to Nicholl, they are probably clinging to the fact that the disease was found early on.

The royal analyst kept saying, “Carol and Michael, they’ve always been an incredibly strong couple and also very down to earth… what they’ll be doing right now is they’ll be coming together and supporting her—not just William and Kate, [but] their grandchildren, too.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have not been spotted with William and Kate at this time. But even after Kate revealed her emotional experience with cancer treatment, people continued to express support.

In a statement, Harry and Meghan expressed their best wishes for Kate Middleton. “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” they continued.

During a surprise walkabout in Windsor, Harry and Meghan were last spotted in public with Kate and Prince William. This came about following the demise of Queen Elizabeth in September of 2022.

Prior to the health information being public, a source said that Harry and Meghan were unaware of Kate’s surgery and convalescence. The source clarified, “There is clearly no trust.”

Following King Charles’s announcement of his cancer illness, Prince Harry also recently visited the United Kingdom. Harry did not, however, get to see his brother and sister-in-law during his brief visit to England.

Even while this has shocked the royal family, there is no doubt that King Charles and the Princess of Wales are receiving the best medical care possible. Most significantly, though, Kate is lucky to have her friends and family support her.
