It’s a difficult year coming to an end for the British royal family. At the start of 2024, the Crown was shaken by two terrible announcements: that of Charles III’s cancer at the beginning of February, then that of Kate Middleton’s cancer on March 20. Since then, the King of England and the Princess of Wales have both been battling the disease. A particularly difficult ordeal, which makes them see life from a new angle.
