King Charles has shared his sentiments regarding Kate Middleton’s pause from her royal duties as she undergoes cancer treatment. This information comes through insights provided by royal expert Christopher Andersen, who spoke to OK! Magazine, as reported by Cheat Sheet.
The decision for the Duchess of Cambridge to take a leave from her official responsibilities was made public by a Kensington Palace spokesperson, emphasizing the importance of her health during this challenging time. “The princess is not expected to return to work until it’s cleared by her medical team,” stated the spokesperson.
The royal expert claims, “Charles has made it clear that everyone should stand down in terms of when and how she returns to a full public schedule.” Andersen continued, “Nobody understands more fully than King Charles just how difficult fighting cancer can be—the toll it takes emotionally and physically.” King Charles has also “made it clear that whatever Kate feels she needs, she gets”, the royal expert added.
This statement clarifies that while the Duchess is stepping back from public engagements, the ongoing projects under her patronage continue to progress. Furthermore, the spokesperson highlighted the enduring nature of the royal couple’s work, even in Middleton’s absence. “This should not be seen or reported on as Her Royal Highness returning to work.
The work of The Prince and Princess projects is ‘always on,’ and that has been no different for the Centre over the past five months with a great deal of progress being made,” they explained. This approach underscores a modern understanding of royal duties, where personal health is given precedence, and the commitment to public service remains uninterrupted by personal challenges. King Charles’ reaction reflects a compassionate and supportive stance towards Middleton’s health and her role within the royal family, signaling an empathetic leadership style in his reign.
