Queen Camilla’s ‘secret’ role to help Kate Middleton, revealed

As King Charles and Kate Middleton are undergoing cancer treatment – which all began in January when King Charles first received his diagnosis and Kate underwent abdominal surgery – other royal family members have had to step up. Prince William and Queen Camilla have taken on a massive responsibility regarding engagements, and the schedule has changed. 

Prince William and Queen Camilla have been praised for their work ethic, considering the small number of working royals in the last few months, but it has also taken its toll.

Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla have much in common. They are both married into the royal family and, at one point or another, the two have had to deal with a lot of scrutiny from the press and the public. In Kate’s case, that happened just weeks ago, as her Mother’s Day picture turned out to have been manipulated. However, even though it has been a challenging period, the Princess of Wales has also gotten a lot of support, not least from Queen Camilla – who’s shown her support beautifully.

The royal family is going through a really rough time. King Charles has been battling cancer since January, and last week, Kate Middleton shared her cancer diagnosis to the world.

The Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery in January, and up until last week, no one knew what her exact medical condition was. Speculations about her health and her marriage to Prince William have been ongoing for months. But on Friday, as Kate released the emotional video through the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media pages, it shut down conspiracy theorists and the many celebrities that had pretty much mocked her online.

Kate Midleton – cancer diagnosis statement

Kate Middleton’s complete statement read;

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery.

It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.

In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.

This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.

As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body, and spirits.

Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.

We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me...
