The United Kingdom has been concerned for several months about the state of health of his princessCatherine Middleton, known as Kate, the wife of Prince William. She had already caught the eye of the media in January 2024 after being hospitalized for abdominal pain. This entry into the hospital had raised all sorts of questions.
The veil was finally sadly lifted on March 22. In a short video published on her X account, the Princess of Wales explained that she had cancer, without however specifying which part of his body was affected by the disease. “We need time, space and privacy while I continue my treatment”she explained. She then received numerous messages of support, including that of King Charles, himself suffering from cancer. “Her Majesty is very proud of Catherine for the courage she showed in speaking as she did”Buckingham Palace had communicated.
A tough recovery for Kate Middleton
Today, the 42-year-old woman slowly enters on the long road to recovery. She would be, according to a friend of the royal family interviewed by People but who wishes to remain anonymous, during a period of convalescence. However, as royal expert Robert Hardman explains to the same media, “the message being sent to us is not to consider that a page has been turned and that everything has returned to normal, because that is not how cancer works. The reality is that it is an unpredictable disease.”
Thus, the mother of George, Louis and Charlotte chose not to increase the number of public outings, and not to make efforts that could endanger one’s state of health. “As soon as she wakes up, she knows exactly whether she feels well enough to do what she planned, or not.”says the anonymous friend.
-Kate Middleton resumes smoothly
The forty-year-old, however, intends to recover from this illness to fully resume her various missions: Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Lady of the Islands… A certain number of important responsibilities within the British monarchy.
Since the fall of 2024, his name has gradually reappeared on the official agenda of the British crown. If 2025 promises to be a busy year (including a tribute to the victims of the Second World War for the 80th anniversary of the end of the conflict), Kate Middleton wishes above all to devote herself, like her husband, to her family. With children aged 11, 9 and 6, the oldest of whom is preparing to enter a new college, daily life promises to be lively too.
