Does the British royal family have reason to fear for the health of its members? Everything suggests yes. It must be said that 2024 was particularly difficult in terms of health. Kate Middleton and King Charles III are currently battling cancer. But if their battle against the disease is rather well underway, it is important not to declare victory too quickly. And above all hope that other members of the family are not affected.
But since Tuesday, November 5, the kingdom has been shivering: Queen Camilla has been put on bed rest by her doctors due to a lung infection which requires a few days of rest. This is why she had to cancel some of her commitments during the week. As the Sovereign is 77 years old, is Buckingham Palace hiding her true state of health? The future will tell, but for the moment, no other indication has been given about the illness which affects her.
If Camilla is not at the top of her form, Kate Middleton has on the other hand regained her strength. In any case, this is what Prince William indicated during his visit to South Africa in recent days. While he was questioned about the health of his wife and mother of his always arguing children (George, 11 years old, Charlotte, 9 years old and Louis, 6 years old), Prince William did not need to be asked to answer.
Prince William speaks out about Kate Middleton's health
And he did it with a smile, given the good news he was able to convey: “She's doing really well, thank you. […] She was amazing throughout this year” he said. Other details in addition to this statement from Prince William allow us to say that everything is going much better for Kate Middleton since Princess Wales has returned to sport and is preparing to reappear in public a little more often.
However, there is no need for too much. As noted by Robert Jobson, a royal expert and author of a book about Kate Middleton, if the princess is going to take center stage, her appearances will undoubtedly be a little fewer than before. Kate and William would have realized that it was perhaps necessary to favor quality over quantity and that chaining together outings risked minimizing the impacts. Surely enough to hurt all those for whom she is the queen of hearts…
