Renowned journalist, editor, and royal expert Tina Brown has shed light on the situation, suggesting that William and Kate had hoped for a few more years to focus on raising their three young children: Prince George, aged 10, Princess Charlotte, aged 8, and Prince Louis, aged 5.
The news of Charles' cancer diagnosis has brought Prince William and Catherine uncomfortably close to becoming the next monarch sooner than expected. This unexpected turn of events has disrupted their plans for raising their children away from public scrutiny, causing significant anxiety for the couple, as highlighted by Tina Brown in The New York Times.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Kate herself is dealing with her own cancer diagnosis, which is likely to thrust her into a wave of premature responsibility alongside William. Despite facing her own battle with illness, Kate has remained committed to her royal duties. In a video message delivered in March, she revealed that she is currently in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
While Kate is taking some time away to focus on her health and recovery, William is also stepping back from certain responsibilities to provide support to his wife during this challenging time. The couple is navigating a delicate balance between their personal lives, health concerns, and their potential future roles as monarchs.
