There is no greater love than that of a mother and that is why Charles III did not want to miss Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom to remember and honor his mother, Elizabeth II. It was a few weeks ago when it came to light that the monarch suffers from cancer, a diagnosis that came at the same time that it was learned that Kate Middleton had suffered complications from an abdominal operation. In this context of concern for two of the most prominent members of the British monarchy, the king has published a tender message addressed to his mother through social networks.

“Wishing all mothers, and those who miss their mothers today, a peaceful Mother’s Sunday,” the monarch said through the royal family’s official X (formerly Twitter) account. The words were accompanied by an emoticon of a pink flower. The publication includes a black and white photograph of the sovereign kissing his mother’s hand. The image was taken in 1985, during a polo match. With this, he reflects how much he misses Elizabeth II.

The death of the sovereign, on September 8, 2022, was a hard blow for royalty, but also for the British, who were especially fond of that 96-year-old woman who reigned an entire country for seven decades. Her eldest son, Charles, succeeded her and her coronation took place on May 6, 2023. As we said, the 75-year-old king is currently receiving treatment for an unspecified cancer. Few details are known about his state of health, and for the moment the weight of the crown falls on his wife, Camilla, and the rest of the members of the monarchy, such as his son William.

The truth is that it has been a Sunday full of current news about the British Crown. This Sunday Charles’s younger brother, Prince Edward, also turns 60. That is why the monarch has marked the occasion by awarding the Duke of Edinburgh the Order of the Thistle, Scotland’s highest royal honour.

On the other hand, there has also been the reappearance of Kate Middleton on social networks. The Princess of Wales has shared the first image of her after the abdominal operation she underwent last January, and about which little is known. Her maximum secrecy about her state of health has generated a lot of rumors and speculation in recent months, so with this image she shows that she is well and in the process of recovery with her family. she.

In the snapshot, she appears smiling, hugged by her eldest son, Prince George (10), and surrounded by her other two children, Prince Louis (5) and Princess Charlotte (8). They all look happy in front of the camera. “Thank you for the kind wishes and continued support from her over the past two months. Wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day. C,” she captioned the post. Hello magazine claims that the image was taken by Prince William earlier this week. Therefore, this is the first photo of Middleton in months.
