Prince William and Kate Middleton have retreated to their holiday home as she battles cancer. They flew from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to Anmer Hall in Norfolk with their three children for the Easter break. Middleton confirmed her diagnosis after undergoing surgery last month and is now undergoing preventative chemotherapy. The couple delayed announcing the news until their children understood the situation, and only did so after a security breach at the hospital where Middleton was treated.
Despite worries arising from Middleton’s absence from official events, she apologized for a doctored photo on British Mother’s Day and was seen out shopping with William. The news of Middleton’s cancer came shortly after King Charles II announced that he too is battling the disease. Charles, 75, publicly supported Middleton and is in close contact with her offering love and support. Middleton and Charles had a private lunch to discuss their shared health experiences a day before she announced her diagnosis.
The couple will spend the holiday break at Sandringham Estate to allow Middleton to rest and recuperate. Her medical team encouraged her to undergo chemotherapy, and William has been a huge support throughout her ordeal. Royal expert Valentine Low believes the couple announced the news due to pressure, especially after the hospital security breach. Middleton has been out of the public eye since December, leading to wild conspiracy theories about her health and whereabouts. However, the couple’s public appearances and updates have helped alleviate concerns about Middleton’s health.
The family plans to have a private celebration at their holiday home while Middleton continues her treatment. They had initially decided to skip the holiday church service this year. Middleton’s disclosure of her diagnosis and treatment has garnered support and praise from the public, sparing her from additional stress. The couple, along with their children, have been trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst Middleton’s health struggles. Prince William and Kate Middleton have successfully navigated the challenges of her cancer diagnosis with the support of their family and well-wishers.
