King Charles III is undergoing cancer treatment following his January checkup for an enlarged prostate. On the same day his treatment was announced, Kate Middleton’s abdominal surgery was also made public. Later, she revealed she, too, had been diagnosed with cancer—though the type remains private.
Kate has long been one of the most beloved royals, and her bond with King Charles has only grown stronger as they face their health battles together. However, new reports suggest Charles is more concerned about Kate than himself.
Just months after his May coronation, the royal family seemed to be entering a new era, with Charles and Camilla gaining public approval and William and Kate’s popularity soaring. But these unexpected health challenges have changed everything.
King Charles & Kate Middleton – cancer
In mid-January, Kate Middleton underwent a planned abdominal surgery, but details about her condition remained undisclosed. Meanwhile, King Charles III received treatment for an enlarged prostate, during which doctors discovered he had cancer—fortunately, at an early stage.
As Easter approached, many expected Kate to resume royal duties. However, on March 22, she revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer. Initially believed to be non-cancerous, post-surgery tests confirmed its presence. She is now undergoing preventative chemotherapy and prioritizing her family’s well-being during this difficult time.
King Charles & Kate Middleton – unbreakable bond
Kate Middleton’s return to royal duties remains uncertain as she prioritizes recovery from chemotherapy and time with her family. Similarly, King Charles reduced engagements during his cancer treatment, with Queen Camilla and Prince William stepping in.
Kate and King Charles have a strong bond that has grown over the years, especially as she became the future queen and a mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Their warm relationship has been evident in public moments, such as Charles blowing Kate a kiss at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
Following Kate’s cancer diagnosis, King Charles expressed immense pride in her courage, stating he has remained in close contact with his “beloved daughter-in-law.”
Kate Middleton acted as a “healing bond” for William & Charles
The royal family has faced challenging times, from Queen Elizabeth’s passing to ongoing tensions with Harry and Meghan. Amid this, King Charles and Prince William’s relationship has had its ups and downs.
Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter noted that Kate Middleton has been a “healing balm” between them, bringing warmth and unity. Known for her close family values, Kate has helped foster camaraderie within the royal family.
Additionally, Arbiter suggested that Kate and King Charles have grown even closer due to their shared health struggles, finding comfort in each other during difficult times.
“They are in this together, Kate and the King”
King Charles and Kate Middleton’s shared health struggles have strengthened their bond, as royal experts suggest. While Charles underwent cancer treatment, Kate was still recovering at the London Clinic, where she stayed for 13 days post-surgery. Reports say the King even visited her during his own treatments.
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith noted that Charles has always had a strong bond with Kate, seeing her as “the daughter he never had.” A royal source added that their shared experience has created a close connection, offering Kate comfort in maintaining privacy while battling illness.
After leaving the hospital, Kate continued her recovery at Adelaide Cottage, keeping in close contact with Charles. The day before publicly announcing her diagnosis, they even had a private lunch at Windsor Castle.
Royal expert clais King Charles is “extremely concerned” about Kate
Despite their public appearances, things may not be as smooth as they seem for the royal family. Royal expert Robert Hardman shared with Hello! Magazine that King Charles is deeply worried about his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, as she faces significant health challenges.
Hardman noted that the King is determined to support her however he can, recognizing that her situation is vastly different from his own. Their shared struggles have reportedly brought them closer, as Charles has always held Kate in high regard.
During a recent hospital visit, Charles and Queen Camilla made sure to check on and reassure the Princess, highlighting the human side of the royal family as they navigate this difficult time.
