It is believed Kate and William will spend the Easter holidays at their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk. We can also exclusively reveal Charles, 75, has recorded an Easter message of hope, to be broadcast on Maundy Thursday at Worcester Cathedral. Queen Camilla will lead The Firm at the Royal Maundy Service, to give the Royal Maundy gifts on behalf of her husband.
Kensington Palace issued a special message of thanks as well wishes poured in from around the world, including from heads of state, charity bosses and Kate’s own family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not informed ahead of the Princess of Wales’ public statement regarding her cancer diagnosis.
A spokesman said: “The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message. They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”
In an emotional and heartfelt televised statement broadcast on Friday evening, the Princess of Wales confirmed her cancer diagnosis at the age of just 42. The mum of three bravely spoke of “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family,” as she revealed the heartbreaking moment she and William contemplated breaking the news to their young children.
The princess did not reveal what type of cancer she is suffering from, but confirmed she has begun a course of preventative chemotherapy, which started in February. Kensington Palace said Kate continued to have a positive mindset for her recovery and is in good spirits. The princess said she had assured her children that she is “well and getting stronger every day.”
The future Queen and the head of state are both undergoing cancer treatment, therefore the Royal Family is going through a difficult time. However, it is anticipated that the monarchy will unite to uphold those who are vital to the organization.
The Princess of Wales has maintained contact with the King during her cancer treatment, starting from the time of her hospital admission in January, according to a royal source. In spite of the turbulent times, he is totally committed to putting on a display of togetherness for his family and assuring the public and international community that the monarchy is stable.
Following his hospital admission in January due to an enlarged prostate, the monarch disclosed that he was receiving weekly treatment for cancer. As a result, he has scaled back his responsibilities and public appearances. Charles thanked the public for their support in his first public statement following his cancer diagnosis last month, stating that it had given him “the greatest comfort and encouragement.”
Millions of people have seen Kate’s video message, which has been interpreted as a message of hope for those suffering from the illness. The princess, seated outside on a bench amid a field of blooming daffodils, called her situation “a huge shock” and said that she and her 41-year-old husband had personally informed their kids of the news, but assured them, “I am going to be ok.”
Kate underwent a major stomach surgery on January 16 and the outcome is certified as successful. Since no testing had shown that cancer was present, it was believed at the time of her surgery that the ailment was not malignant.
However, tests conducted after surgery proved that malignancy had been present. Online rumors concerning Kate grew after William abruptly withdrew from a memorial service honoring his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece.
