After the video of Kate, Princess of Wales, disclosing her cancer, Buckingham Palace issued a statement on behalf of King Charles III of the United Kingdom, saying, "His Majesty the King is proud of Catherine's courage to speak out."
It also emphasized that "His Majesty the King has had the courage to speak out in the past." He has been in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law for several weeks. Their Majesties (Charles and Camilla) will continue to provide love and support to the entire family through this difficult time."
And at 3 local time On the evening of March 23, British newspapers told more details about Charles’s encouragement to his daughter-in-law Kate...
According to "The Sun", just before Kate told the public about her cancer diagnosis, she had a meal with the King's father-in-law. At lunch, they were the only participants.
At that time, Charles set off from London to Windsor Castle, and Kate and William's home "Adelaide Cottage" was very close to there.
"It is very unusual for them to be the only two sitting together like this," a royal source said. "The king has long known that his beloved daughter-in-law has cancer." "They have a lot to discuss and share. , because it was only a few weeks ago that the king began his treatment process and announced his diagnosis.”
The source also revealed that Charles appeared very emotional after having lunch with Kate, “They are very close. , he feels that Catherine is his daughter. There is no doubt that they have a lot to share and can use each other for support during their own battles with cancer."
And another source told The Times It was revealed that the king and the princess have always had a close, warm and unique connection. "She loves him very much and respects him as a person and his position."
It is reported that during Kate's hospitalization at the "London Clinic" in Marylebone, north London, Charles also underwent interventional surgery there to treat an enlarged prostate. Before he fully recovered, he went to visit Kate. "When they were hospitalized together, many people saw him 'staggering' with her in the corridor. He encouraged and supported her from beginning to end," People familiar with the matter said so.
Kate didn't know she had cancer at the time, but pathology later revealed signs of the disease, so much so that she now has to undergo chemotherapy.
Both Charles and Kate are currently cancer patients, but which two types of cancer they suffer from have not been announced to the public. After all, this is also personal privacy, and it is understandable that they do not want to say it.
One thing worth noting is that Kate said she was going through chemotherapy treatment, but Charles didn't say that, and he would show up from time to time during treatment, and although he was a little thinner, his hair didn't seem to be lost, which is most likely not the case Chemotherapy.
It is also reported that as two royal members who need to stick to their posts, the relationship between Prince William of Wales and his stepmother Queen Camilla has also been greatly eased. Due to frequent contact, they are closer than before. With "real warmth".
Although William is not as rude to Camilla as Harry, he has indeed been unable to establish a closer relationship with his stepmother over the years. But under today's special background, he and Camilla have put aside their past feud, not to mention Camilla is also very concerned about his wife Kate. And to preserve the royal family, the two must now unite.
Previously, William was temporarily absent from the memorial service of King Constantine II of Greece, and it was rumored that he was dissatisfied with Camilla's hosting of royal activities. But with the emergence of Kate's video, everything became clear. That day happened to be the day Kate had to face the sad news.
