Royal commentator Michael Cole said Prince William is going through a period of mental and emotional reflection as he tries to understand and come to terms with the news of Duchess Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
The former BBC royal correspondent spoke to Ben Leo on GB News and expressed his sympathy for the future king.
“Kensington Palace will be pleased that such a statement has been made,” he said.
“She was a very gentle and dignified person. Despite the extremes of her own circumstances, she was extremely polite and showed great humanity. Cancer does not discriminate. .One in three of us will experience cancer at some point.
“You also have to think about Prince William. He’s been through a bit in his life. He was 15 when his mother tragically died in Paris.
“He had to be resolute and resolute to help his brother Harry overcome his grief in public.
“It couldn’t have been more difficult for two young children. As a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, he saw people in danger.
“He has to ask himself, what else is the world going to throw at me?”
Yesterday, it was revealed that Prince William did not attend his godfather’s memorial service due to Duchess Kate’s diagnosis.
He has been juggling royal duties with providing for his family, a task made even more difficult when King Charles was diagnosed with cancer.
Political leaders from all sides expressed sympathy and support for Kate, criticizing what Chancellor Rishi Sunak described as the “intense scrutiny” she faces from social media and media outlets around the world.
Charles has been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer since early February, after undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate at the same hospital where Kate underwent surgery.
Buckingham Palace said: “His Majesty said he was ‘very proud of Duchess Kate’s courageous words’.”
