Princess Kate has reportedly been preparing for his role as a future Queen amid the concerning health condition of King Charles.
According to In Touch Weekly, the source shared, “No one expects [the Monarch’s] reign to last much longer, especially because his health could take a dramatic turn for the worse at any time.”
For the unversed, Charles has been currently undergoing cancer treatment since he announced his disease to the world in February.
Now, an insider claimed that Catherine and Prince William must have been preparing to take on the key roles in the near future.
The source said, “Kate, in particular, has given a lot of thought to her new position and has consulted with her husband and multiple advisers about implementing her ideas.”
Moreover, the mother-of-three has been aiming to make a strong impact with “meaningful charity works” like her project on early childhood as a future Queen.
However, Kate Middleton is expected to prioritise her health and her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in her future role.
“If this health scare has taught Kate anything, it’s that she doesn’t want to waste time away from her kids,” stated the source.
Britain’s royals suffered a double blow in 2024: two of the most senior members of the family are now battling cancer. King Charles III was diagnosed in early February, just 17 months into his reign. The 75-year-old monarch’s daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, underwent a “planned” abdominal procedure in January, then was not seen in public for several months. Following wild speculation about her condition and whereabouts, the princess shared devastating news on March 22: she has also been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing “a course of preventative chemotherapy.”
Here’s a roundup, which we’ll keep updated, of the latest news about the king and the princess’s health, and how Britain’s royal family is handling the situation.
We don’t know. On January 17 Kensington Palace announced that the 42-year-old Princess of Wales had undergone a “planned abdominal surgery” at The London Clinic the previous day.
The statement said she was “unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter” and expressed “her wish that her personal medical information remains private.”
At the time, a royal source told CNN that Kate Middleton’s condition was noncancerous. But as the princess explained in a video posted March 22, that diagnosis changed.
“The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” she said. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
