As Kate Middleton confronts the challenges of her cancer treatment regimen, the Princess of Wales finds herself wrestling with feelings of guilt as she witnesses 75-year-old King Charles resuming his royal duties, despite his own health battles.
Reports from Kensington Palace confirm that the Princess of Wales is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer and has no immediate plans to return to her royal duties.
However, amidst her health struggles, Kate is experiencing a profound sense of guilt over King Charles’ commitment to his public engagements.
A source revealed to Life & Style magazine, “It’s been tough for Kate to watch the king return to more public royal duties in April following his own unspecified cancer diagnosis in February.”
The insider added that Kate feels conflicted seeing Charles, who is also battling cancer, fulfilling his royal obligations while she focuses on her treatment.
The emotional toll of her health journey is compounded by feelings of exhaustion. Kate, drained by the effects of chemotherapy, finds herself with little energy left to manage her royal responsibilities.
With her maternal instincts driving her to prioritize her children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—Kate is struggling to balance her family duties with her own health needs.
“Kate’s first instinct as a mother is to give her children all her attention,” the source explained. “But she’s struggling with trying to do it all.”

Furthermore, Kate faces pressure to return to her royal duties after being appointed as the Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour by King Charles.
While Kate recognizes the honor and historic significance of the title, which makes her the first member of Britain’s royal family to receive this distinction, it also stirs up “more complicated feelings” for her.
Amidst these complex emotions, Kate Middleton continues to draw strength from her family and remains resolute in her commitment to prioritize her health and well-being.
