After Princess Kate’s (42) cancer diagnosis became known, further details from the past few days are now becoming public. This is how King Charles III, who also suffered from cancer, is said to have treated himself. (75) met his “beloved daughter-in-law” for lunch on Friday, March 22nd, the day Kate’s illness was announced. The 75-year-old monarch was “very moved” by the shared meal at Windsor Castle, an unnamed source revealed the British “Sun”.
Princess Kate and King Charles are connected by their cancer
It has been known for some time how much King Charles values his daughter-in-law Kate. He is said to see the wife of his son Prince William (41) as the daughter he never had. Charles was logical according to the BBC last Friday was also one of the first to publicly praise the Princess of Wales “for having the courage to speak as she did” after her cancer announcement.
Last Thursday, the king, who was informed in advance about Kate’s plans, traveled from London to Windsor Castle for his one-on-one meeting with Kate. About the meal together, the palace source told the Sun: “It is highly unusual for the two of them to sit down together in this way.”
During the meeting, Princess Kate wanted to find out how the King was coping with his cancer and the very public effects of the disease. For this reason, she “absolutely” wanted to speak to her stepfather, the king.
“They had a lot to discuss and exchange, as just a few weeks earlier the king had started his treatment and was busy announcing his diagnosis,” the royal insider continued. “The king left lunch very moved.”
Charles also visited his daughter-in-law in the London hospital
Even before Kate’s illness was announced, the Princess of Wales was staying at a private clinic in London alongside King Charles at the beginning of the year. Here Kate underwent abdominal surgery and the king received prostate treatment. As the British “Sunday Times” reportsthe king also visited his “beloved daughter-in-law” on this occasion.
Wrapped only in a dressing gown, Charles made his way down a hallway to be with Kate for a while. The king “often waddled down the corridor to spend time with her” and repeatedly encouraged and supported her.
Quite clearly: In addition to her husband William, whom Kate called “a great source of comfort and reassurance” in her moving video message on Friday, her father-in-law Charles is also firmly at the Princess’ side during her illness – despite her own health problems , which the English king is currently confronted with.
