\u201cWilliam really stepped up during Kate\u2019s illness,\u201d an alleged insider recently told Life & Style<\/a>. \u201cHe took on so many extra duties even in the midst of dealing with a sick wife,\u201d the source added. \u201cIt\u2019s what had to be done, and he got on with it, but it certainly took a huge toll.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, the Princess of Wales recovered from a battle with cancer in 2024. She underwent planned abdominal surgery in January and remained out of the public eye until Easter.<\/p>\n

In early 2024, William began taking on public duties, but a controversy over an altered photo in March sparked speculation. Later, the 43-year-old mom of two revealed a cancer diagnosis, which garnered widespread support. After successful chemotherapy, she returned in June, looking healthy, and has been gradually resuming her responsibilities<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that she\u2019s feeling better and the constant fear of losing her has eased off, William\u2019s big focus has been on making the most of their time and this second chance at life together,\u201d the source explained to Life & Style. \u201cHe\u2019s spoken to his father and gotten the go-ahead to tone down the frenetic pace. Charles doesn\u2019t want to see William burn out, and he certainly doesn\u2019t want to overload Kate when she\u2019s still fragile.\u201d<\/p>\n

King Charles\u2019 Own Battle with Cancer Reportedly Made Him \u2018Especially Sensitive\u2019 Kate Middleton\u2019s Illness<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, King Charles, 76, has been undergoing chemotherapy since February 2024<\/a>. \u201cNo doubt Charles\u2019 own battle with cancer has made him especially sensitive to what Kate has gone through,\u201d the source noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s told her and William to take whatever time they need,\u201d the insider continued. \u201cThey won\u2019t go overboard, but they are very keen to pull back a little so they can focus on each other more. That means more romantic dinners, more long walks, and more holidays.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The insider claims the royal couple\u2019s downtime includes a swanky trip for just the two of them. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re mapping out summer plans right now, with the usual family trips to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, but they\u2019re also looking to take a romantic holiday\u00a0just the two of them\u00a0and talking about going back to the Seychelles where they honeymooned,\u201d the source said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William and Kate Middleton are \u201croyally\u201d in love, prepping for their future roles with a little extra…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-255231","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-princess-of-wales","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family","18":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114832658191023948","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
