They are united by the same fight. Charles III and Kate Middleton have both been facing cancer since the start of 2024. So, as Kensington and Buckingham Palace announced, they must take time away from the media to focus on their health. If both have made public appearances in recent months, they can count on the presence of other crowned heads when they need it. As indicated The Express this Sunday October 13, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie were in Malta a few days ago to represent the royal family.
Royal expert Judi James says the couple played a very important role during this visit. “They seem to understand life and royal duties better than any other member of the royal family,” she began before continuing: “Edward was probably never cast as the royal child most likely to settle into a lastingly happy family life or become some sort of rock of the firm, but that’s where he and Sophie find themselves From now on”.
The couple therefore has a major role currently.
Charles III and Kate Middleton: both well surrounded so they can rest
Charles III and Kate Middleton must take time for their health. When they cannot be present, they can count on Prince Edward and his wife. Both give a very positive image of the royal family since they live a happy and lasting marriage. They allow the British to forget a little about the worries encountered by the wife of Prince William and the latter’s father. This way, the two main people involved have more time to rest and make their health a priority.
Afterwards, Judi James spoke about the body language of Prince Edward and his wife. According to him, this is very positive since they highlight their interest in the trips they have to make.
“They look very calmly incredibly happy with each other,” she said before adding: “There is an echo of the rather timid and hesitant romantic signals that were a feature of royal relationships decades ago.” Indeed, royal family couples tend not to show too many signs of affection in public. They prefer to opt for discretion.
Cancers of Charles III and Kate Middleton: two people who need to rest
This is an announcement that no one expected. At the beginning of the year, Kate Middleton said she was suffering from cancer and, a few hours later, it was King Charles III who made the same declaration. Since then, the British have been waiting for any news concerning them and if the wife of Prince William has opted for discretion, this is not the case for the King of England. Charles III made a series of trips, while following a very specific treatment protocol. However, Camilla Parker Bowles would like him to take some time to rest, which her husband doesn’t seem to want to do. He is preparing to make a long journey in the coming days as he will be heading towards Australia.
For her part, Kate Middleton opted for discretion. She canceled several trips and took time to focus on her health. In a video on September 9, she said she was in remission. “As summer comes to an end, I can’t tell you what a relief it is to finally have my chemotherapy treatment finished” she wrote in the caption of her publication. In voice-over, Prince William’s wife gave her news. While these were reassuring, she reminded us of the importance of rest. “However, I look forward to returning to work and undertaking some other public engagements in the coming months when I can,” she concluded.
