The bad streak that the British Royal House is going through, within the seriousness of cancer, is serving to build bridges. All the tensions that have existed between the Windsors are well documented; However, the illnesses of King Charles III and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, seem to have calmed the waters.
According to The Times, the British monarch and his daughter-in-law were at the London Clinic recovering from their respective operations. Despite being still convalescing, the king would have jumped out of bed to be able to visit the princess, who from that moment on would begin a period of retirement that ended on March 22.
This encounter at the hospital was not isolated. The circumstances led to the two sharing candid conversations and moments of mutual support that, UK media have reported, have brought the royals even closer.
The relationship was so strengthened that they would have had more meetings of this type. Thus, The Sun has revealed that the Princess of Wales and King Charles III had an intimate and affectionate conversation at Windsor Castle, hours before she publicly announced her cancer diagnosis.
The monarch, who is also fighting the disease – it is known that his cancer is prostate, while nothing has been revealed about the princess’s illness -, traveled from London to share a private lunch with his “dear daughter-in-law” on Thursday, one day before the announcement. During this meeting, both continued to share their fight against cancer, as well as their hopes of winning.
The support that the Princess of Wales has found in her father-in-law has also been found outside the monarchy. Since her illness became known, messages of support and solidarity have not stopped arriving, a situation that has forced the princes to speak out.
In this way, through a statement, they have thanked all the good messages they have been receiving. “The Prince and Princess are very touched by the heartfelt messages from the people of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and around the world,” said a spokesperson for Kensington Palace on Saturday, March 23.
