Catherine, the Princess of Wales, revealed her cancer diagnosis to the public, ending the many rumors and speculations that had been spreading in the media since her scheduled abdominal surgery.
In the video she posted, she talked about how doctors found cancer after her surgery. She also mentioned that she and William wanted to tell their kids first before telling everyone else.
Royal analysts think Kate chose to share the video on Friday at 6 pm for a specific purpose. Their children’s school had already closed by then, so they wouldn’t have to deal with questions from their friends right away.
“George is ten now and can’t be shielded from any of this now,” a palace source told the Times. “Once it’s at the school gate and in the school playground, he won’t be able to avoid it.”
King Charles’ former butler, Grant Harrold, stated that Kate and William took a unique approach with each of their children when informing them about her cancer. Harrold believes that when they told Prince Louis, they probably softened the impact by presenting the information in a more positive light.
“I’m sure it was a very difficult and very different conversation between children,” Grant Harrold told the NY Post. “ For instance, for Louis, I’m sure the conversation was more sugarcoated than it was with George and Charlotte.”
The ex-butler added, “The older kids can grasp more, so I
assume it was a bit more direct but definitely upbeat, which is crucial.”
Seeing Kate with her three children can bring tears to your eyes. It’s a big deal for any mother to have that conversation, and Charlotte and George will surely be there to support her.
He mentioned that Louis is too inexperienced to comprehend his mother’s situation.
“It’s a tricky one. I’m sure the children will be handling it as any kids would be expected to handle it, but I think their parents are very good at being calm and collected, and I think that will rub off on the children,” he told the NY Post.
The children will have a great time during Easter break
at Anmer Hall in the Sandringham Estate with their parents. They will enjoy
themselves and search for eggs.
The family will skip going to church on Easter Sunday, but King Charles and Queen Camilla probably will.
“It’s understood that King Charles may attend a church service on Easter Sunday with a smaller royal turnout if his health allows it,” Hello! Magazine’s royal expert, Danielle Stacey, said.
“Charles has minimized his contact with larger crowds to reduce risks as he continues his cancer treatment,” she continued. “While we’ve seen the King conduct small audiences at Buckingham Palace, he’s not attended any large-scale gatherings since his diagnosis, such as the reception for Korean War Veterans last week, the Commonwealth Day service and the memorial for the late King Constantine in Windsor last month.”
Anmer Hall, a country residence in Norfolk, situated approximately 110 miles away from London, is reportedly the place where the Princess of Wales feels the most comfortable.
She mentioned that her greatest joy is being “with my family outdoors in the rural areas.”
She and the children will bake Easter cakes and decorate
them with Cadbury eggs.
Three years ago, it was reported that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were pleasantly surprised by their children with Easter eggs that were personalized and made by them. This year, it is expected that grandpa Charles and step-grandma Camilla will also receive a similar cake.
George, Charlotte, and Louis will participate in the annual Easter egg hunt planned by their parents.
An insider told Us Weekly that George, Charlotte, and Louis are not allowed to have chocolate and sweets daily, making it a special treat for them.
The family likes biking together, playing tennis, and
George and Charlotte are learning how to ride horses. Charlotte loves horses,
just like her great-grandmother. Horseback riding is her top hobby.
Kate has always found it to be a blessing to
spend time with her children.
“The children always brighten up her day, and she always says that when she goes through a difficult time, having her family there always helps. She feels so blessed to have her kids and a loving family,” the Us Weekly source added.
Prince George has managed to avoid the effects of royal news on his life until now. Unfortunately, his mother’s illness might be his first experience of the challenges that come with being a member of the royal family.
Sarah Vine, a royal commentator, mentioned that Kate Middleton and William are fortunate that their children are still quite young. If they were older, it would be more challenging to shield them from finding out about their mother’s diagnosis online.
She emphasized the significance of guiding the children during a difficult time when their mother is unwell.
Co-presenter Andrew Pierce also mentioned that children can be mean on the playground, so it’s best not to expose them to it just yet.
