King Charles has reportedly taken a firm stance in defense of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, as she navigates her health challenges.
According to royal biographer Christopher Anderson, the King has made it clear that any criticism of Kate will not be tolerated, demonstrating his strong support for his daughter-in-law during this difficult period.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Anderson shed light on the situation, noting that Kate has faced criticism over the years for allegedly not participating in as many royal duties as other family members, such as the late Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles himself, and Princess Anne.
Critics have pointed out her fewer appearances at events like ribbon cuttings, hospital openings, and plaque unveilings. However, Anderson emphasized that Kate has always prioritized her children’s well-being over royal responsibilities, a choice that has been a point of contention for some.
Despite the past criticisms, King Charles has now taken a decisive stand. Anderson revealed, “There are those inside and outside the palace who have criticized Kate over the years [before her diagnosis] for supposedly not shouldering her share of the royal burden.
In the past, Charles has remained silent about this and allowed the sniping from the sidelines to continue. But no more. Now the king brooks no criticism of Kate, period.”
King Charles’s protective stance means that any negative remarks about Kate from royal family members or courtiers will not be tolerated.
Anderson elaborated, “Other royal family members and courtiers alike know that they risk being read the Riot Act by the king if they dare utter a negative syllable about Kate.”
Furthermore, King Charles has made it clear that Kate’s return to her public duties will be determined solely by her medical team.
This decision underscores his commitment to her health and well-being, ensuring that she has the time and space needed to recover fully.
As Anderson pointed out, “Charles has also made it clear that everyone should stand down in terms of when and how she returns to a full public schedule.”
This strong show of support from King Charles comes at a crucial time for the Princess of Wales. Following her recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment, Kate has stepped back from her royal duties to focus on her health.
Her decision to prioritize her well-being and family during this period has been met with empathy and understanding from many, and King Charles’s unequivocal backing further solidifies her position within the royal family.

This approach may set a new precedent for how the royal family addresses personal health issues and public duties moving forward.
Kate Middleton’s journey and the unwavering support from King Charles highlight a more compassionate and understanding royal family.
The public, as well as the royal family, will be watching closely as Kate navigates her return to public life, assured that she has the full backing of the King in her corner.
