Before Kate Middleton decided to open up about her health condition and disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the world, both she and the Palace found themselves in the middle of rumors and plenty of conspiracy theories, some more bizarre than others.<\/p>\n

Besides that, the Princess of Wales decided to remain silent until she felt it was the right time to address the public and the media. Some claim that she chose the exact date and timing for releasing the video in which she spoke of her cancer because at that time her children\u2019s school had already closed so they wouldn\u2019t have to face comments and questions by their schoolmates right away.<\/p>\n

Further, as much as Kate wanted to protect her children, she also wanted to protect her husband, Prince William.<\/h2>\n

DERBY, ENGLAND \u2013 OCTOBER 06: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge visits students at the University of Derby to hear how the pandemic has impacted university life and what national measures have been put in place to support student mental health on October 6, 2020 in Derby, England.

Speaking to\u00a0GB News,<\/em>\u00a0author Alexander Larman argued that the conspiracies surrounding Kate Middleton showed that the world is \u201cobsessed with the health of the royal family,\u201d\u00a0and \u201clook to them so set an example.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Larman said, \u201cThe trolls have carried on to this day. But one thing that\u2019s very interesting is if you look at the difference between the responses. Buckingham Palace came forward very quickly and gave a fairly candid idea of what\u2019s happening with Charles with his illness, and Kensington Palace\u00a0didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI think that\u2019s because Prince William is much more into the vein of never complain, never explain, which was his great grandfather\u2019s motto, and has always served the Royal Family well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t hold up in 2024 because you\u2019ve got to allow the idea the information is going to get out into the public, whether you like it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Kate shared her diagnosis, she and her family spent plenty of time at Anmer Hall at Sandringham, including the three weeks of school break the children had.<\/p>\n

On April 23, Prince Louis celebrated his sixth birthday, and his parents shared an adorable photo of him for the happy occasion.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, it was Kate who usually took the photos of her children, but since the incident involving the Mother\u2019s Day photo when she shared an image that she had previously edited, many believed she won\u2019t be taking Louis\u2019s photo this year, but the princess kept tradition alive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy 6th Birthday, Prince Louis! Thank you for all the kind wishes today,\u201d the caption read.<\/p>\n

LONDON, ENGLAND \u2013 MAY 08: Prince Louis of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales take part in the Big Help Out, during a visit to the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough on May 8, 2023 in London, England. The Big Help Out is a day when people are encouraged to volunteer in their communities. It is part of the celebrations of the Coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as King and Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the other Commonwealth realms that took place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

Following Kate\u2019s disclosure of her diagnosis, her family remained silent. Except for Queen Camilla\u2019s brief mention of the princess some weeks ago during a royal engagement, there have been no further updates provided. However, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggests that William\u2019s recent comments about his wife might be conveying a hidden message to the public.<\/p>\n

Prince William made a public engagement on April 18 during which he helped out at a food distribution charity called\u00a0Surplus to Supper<\/em>. Volunteer Rachel Candappa handed the future king two get-well-soon cards addressed to his father and his wife.<\/p>\n

Visibly moved, William told her, \u201cThank you, you are very kind.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Since this was William\u2019s first public appearance after Kate\u2019s disclosure of her diagnosis, Richard Fitzwilliams believes the prince sends a \u201cwell-timed\u201d hidden message: Things are on the way to normality again.<\/p>\n

Fitzwilliams remarked that Prince William\u2019s participation in the food distribution charity implies that both he and Kate Middleton are progressing toward resuming their royal duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know William is going back to royal duties shortly. The royal family obviously needs him. This was an important appearance, simply in the sense that it was what one would call normal. Obviously, with the royal family very little is actually normal at the moment. He is clearly looking after the children as far as feasible. I mean, it\u2019s it\u2019s a burden William has. It sent this message that things some things are going on, more or less as normal,\u201d\u00a0the royal author told\u00a0The Sun.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOn the other hand, we know they\u2019re not, and we know it\u2019s a very difficult time,\u201d\u00a0he concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe and Catherine are attached to some 50 or so patronages \u2013 for example, mental health or homelessness, or the Earthshot prize. They know perfectly well there\u2019s this tremendous cachet when either of them are attached to a particular institution or cause. Polls have made absolutely clear where the public support lies, and the fact that they are so highly regarded.\u201d<\/p>\n

As reported by\u00a0Hello!,\u00a0<\/em>Kensington Palace has confirmed that William is set to engage in two public engagements that will see him leave Windsor for an overnight stay. And as this isn\u2019t anything unusual, during these times for the royal family it may mean that things do start to change for the better.<\/p>\n

NORFOLK, UNITED KINGDOM \u2013 JULY 05: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge visit to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King\u2019s Lynn as part of the NHS birthday celebrations on July 5, 2020 in Norfolk, England. Sunday marks the 72nd anniversary of the formation of the National Health Service (NHS). The UK has hailed its NHS for the work they have done during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following a break to spend more time with his wife amidst her diagnosis, the Prince of Wales has resumed his public duties.\u00a0The Times\u00a0<\/em>reports that he intends to ramp up his schedule of public appearances over the next two months, ahead of his children \u2013 Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis \u2013 going on summer break in July and August.<\/p>\n

Despite his efforts to carry out the royal duties impeccably, his wife and children sometimes get upset with William. An occasion like that took place a few days ago when William visited the Isles of Scilly, the archipelago located off the southwestern tip of\u00a0Cornwall, over which William became the Duke when Charles became king in September 2022.<\/p>\n

As per\u00a0Express,<\/em>\u00a0William said the trip had \u201cupset\u201d\u00a0his wife and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.<\/p>\n

He said they were \u201cupset I\u2019m here without them\u201d\u00a0as he praised the glorious weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family are very upset I\u2019m here without them. The children will kill me if I don\u2019t go home later,\u201d\u00a0William said.<\/p>\n

William\u2019s remark about his family was definitely amusing, but it probably has a deeper significance. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond suggests that his two-night absence indicates to the public that things are doing well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve no doubt that\u00a0Catherine\u2019s\u00a0parents will be staying with her, but even so it must be a step in the right direction. Hopefully Catherine is feeling stronger every day and, with the sun now shining, she\u2019ll be able to enjoy the great outdoors which, for her, has always been restorative,\u201d\u00a0she told\u00a0OK!.<\/em><\/p>\n
