On Tuesday, Prince William offered a brief update on Kate Middleton and their three children. Following the unexpected announcement in late March regarding Kate’s undisclosed cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales’s request for “time, space, and privacy” for her family has been widely respected. Before the news became public, there was considerable speculation about her whereabouts. What type of cancer does Kate have?
Although Kensington Palace hasn’t provided updates on Kate’s health, William mentioned during his visit to northeast England, where he supported environmental and mental wellness initiatives, that the family was in good spirits. A video shared on social media captured a moment where two bystanders draped with the Union Jack greeted William. How does Kate keep so slim?
In the clip, one of the well-wishers asked, “Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?”
“We’re all doing well, thank you,” William replied.
“And obviously Catherine?” the person inquired further.
“We’re all doing well,” William reiterated.
Tuesday marked William’s third day of official engagements since Kate’s diagnosis was made public by the Wales family. While Kate focuses on her treatment, she has reduced her public appearances, though she recently shared a touching photo on Instagram to celebrate Prince Louis’s sixth birthday. Additionally, as Kate and William observed their 13th wedding anniversary earlier this week, they unveiled a previously unreleased portrait from their wedding day in 2011.
The caption accompanying the photo read, “13 years ago today!”
However, Kate’s health concerns aren’t the only ones within the royal family. King Charles III, William’s father, disclosed earlier this year that he is battling cancer. Despite undergoing treatment himself, the monarch has resumed some public duties. On Tuesday, he visited a cancer center, conversing with fellow patients and acknowledging his diagnosis as “a bit of a shock.”
