The princes of Wales decided until now to publicly expose Kate's true state of health due to family reasons.
For several weeks, there had been speculation about Kate Middleton's health, although the British Royal House had chosen to remain silent on the matter. However, this Friday, the Princess of Wales surprised by publishing a video in which she announced that she is fighting cancer and that she has already started her chemotherapy treatment.
The choice of this date to make the announcement was not random, since she has a fundamental reason related to her children. Throughout these months, numerous speculations have circulated about Middleton's health, but the royal family had chosen not to comment on the matter.
The presence of Prince William's wife in recent daily activities had generated surprise. This video sought to put an end to the controversy over her health, which had reached near-state proportions both in the United Kingdom and around the world.
Casa Real expert journalist Richard Palmer shed light on the choice of the announcement date. It is suggested that the Princess of Wales waited until her children began the Easter holidays to protect them from rumors and intense public and media interest. This suggests that the date was not selected at random. With the start of the Easter holidays, the future kings of the United Kingdom will have the opportunity to talk to their children about the disease and make sure they understand the situation.
Palmer also explained that this decision could also have been the reason why King Charles III's eldest son was absent from the funeral for Constantine of Greece last February, a decision that came under fire. However, it was emphasized that the date of the announcement does not necessarily coincide with the day Middleton and her family learned the news.
Although Middleton had been planned to return after the holidays, this new information could change those plans. However, only time will tell if the scheduled dates are maintained or if there are adjustments to the schedule.
