What King Charles told ‘beloved daughter-in-law’ Kate Middleton after learning about her cancer diagnosis
Before Kate Middleton delivered a moving message on her cancer diagnosis to the world, King Charles met with his “beloved daughter-in-law”, the Princess of Wales, on Thursday, in London.
The meeting occurred as Kate wanted to know about the King’s own struggles of battling cancer.
The royal duo had a major heart to heart and an “emotional” private lunch before the Princess of Wales made a bombshell announcement about her cancer diagnosis, the Mirror reported.
“It is highly unusual for just the two of them to sit down together like this. The King had already been made aware that the woman he calls ‘my beloved daughter-in-law’ had cancer. They would have had lots to discuss and share because just weeks earlier the King had begun his course of treatment and dealt with announcing his diagnosis,” a source from Windsor Castle told The Mirror.
The source added that King left his lunch feeling very emotional as they both share a very close bond and he thinks of Kate as his own daughter. “There is no doubt there is a lot they can share and can use each other for support during their own deeply personal cancer battles.”
Meanwhile, Kate and Prince William have taken several weeks off from royal duties as the couple wants to spend most of their time with their three children George, Charlotte and Louis. However, Prince William is anticipated to return to his royal responsibilities following the Easter break.
