Prince William and his son, Prince George, attended Aston Villa's match against Lille OSC in Birmingham on April 11, while Princess Kate Middleton receives cancer treatments. The pair enthusiastically watched Aston Villa win 2-1, dressed sharply in button-down shirts, sweaters, and navy coats. George wore an Aston Villa scarf around his neck. He, along with his siblings Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5), are currently on school break for Easter. The vacation started the day Kate, 42, revealed she was getting treated for an undisclosed type of cancer.
"Initially, it was believed my condition was noncancerous when I had my surgery." The surgery went well, but tests revealed that there was cancer," Kate shared in a video message on March 22. "To prevent further risks, my doctors recommended chemotherapy, which I have already started." "Kate expressed the news as a 'huge shock' for her and her loved ones. She mentioned that she and William are handling this privately for the sake of their young family. Having William with her gives her comfort, and she appreciates the love and support shown by many."
"Earlier this month, an insider revealed that William is supporting and spending time with Kate and their children, helping with schoolwork and spending afternoons and evenings together." Prince William is spending time with Kate's family as she recovers. He recently joined his mother-in-law, Carole Middleton, for a drink at a local pub. Prince Harry visited a pub in North Norfolk over the weekend with his mother-in-law. The meeting was low-key, with no fuss; he simply walked in and through the pub.
The Prince of Wales is dealing with his wife's cancer battle and the potential ascension to the throne, as his father, King Charles III, disclosed his own cancer diagnosis. According to Tina Brown, a royal expert, this situation puts William in a worrisome position of becoming the next monarch. "The prospect is causing them intense anxiety," Brown explained, as William and Kate had hoped to parent their children privately for years. However, ascending the throne would alter everything.
Despite their struggles, they took a moment last month to express gratitude for the overwhelming support during this new chapter of their lives. "The Prince and Princess are grateful for the overwhelming support and understanding of their request for privacy. They appreciate the kind messages from people worldwide," said a Kensington Palace statement.
