A source close to the royal family shared with The Telegraph, "William is extremely proud of his wife for the courage and strength she has shown, not just this week, but since her surgery in January. He has always prioritized the protection of his family, and now more than ever, he is dedicated to ensuring that Kate has the necessary privacy to recover fully, while safeguarding their children from the understandable public interest in the news."
Furthermore, a friend of the couple revealed to the Sunday Times that Kate's decision to share her diagnosis was not solely driven by recent events and the ensuing drama. They explained, "It wasn't really about the drama of the last few weeks, though obviously that has been upsetting. She felt she had to do it because of who she is. It was more that she knows she is a public figure and has a wider leadership responsibility." The friend added that Kate took ownership of the statement, personally crafting every word, and the process came together swiftly.
Prince William's admiration for his wife's strength in navigating these challenging circumstances is evident, and he remains steadfast in his commitment to supporting Kate's recovery while ensuring the well-being and privacy of their family.
