Yahoo News King Charles Is “Still Unwell” Despite Impression That ”Everything Is Fine”
Kate Middleton has only made a handful of public appearances in 2024 as she undergoes preventative chemotherapy, and it looks like she could keep a lighter schedule until she’s officially a Queen. We’ll get into all the details in just a sec, but the good news is that Kate’s health is improving:
“Kate has been exceptionally open and honest about her health,” a friend of the Prince and Princess of Wales tells the Daily Beast. “Making two appearances before the summer break, at Wimbledon and Trooping the Colour, was a clear signal that she is doing well. That is what we are hearing privately as well—it’s not over, but there is lots of optimism, lots of positivity. It is obviously still an incredibly worrying time but all the signs are that her cancer treatment, which is ongoing, is progressing well.”
All that said, a Buckingham Palace source says, “My understanding is that people are going to have to get used to seeing a lot less of Kate. The priority for her now is going to be family and the children. The youngest of those kids, Louis, is only 6. Like a lot of people who have a brush with mortality, Kate is going to prioritize the things that matter to her from now on. In her case, that means her kids.”
King Charles’s health has *also* factored into Kate’s decision to keep her workload light. According to the insider, “he is still unwell,” and while “it is being fantastically well managed to give the impression that everything is fine,” His Majesty’s “cancer hasn’t gone away.” “Once-popular notion that he will live to a similar age” as his mother and father is “now less widespread,” they add.
Because of this, Kate Middleton reportedly wants to “nurture her kids and try her best to equip them for the life ahead of them,” because there may only be a “few years of freedom left.”
The Buckingham Palace source says, “There is still nothing” in Kate’s diary, although we do know that the royals are currently on summer vacation in Balmoral.
