Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been quietly navigating her battle with cancer, revealing her inner struggles and fears, according to insights shared by a former royal aide.
Ailsa Anderson, Queen Elizabeth’s former press secretary, shed light on Kate’s emotional journey, emphasizing that despite her royal title, she experiences the same range of worries and fears as anyone facing such circumstances.
“She might be the Princess of Wales, but she is still a mother and wife and going through the same set of emotions and worries and fears as anyone else in that set of circumstances would be,” Anderson disclosed to PEOPLE.
Kate, 42, recently made a poignant return to public life at King Charles’ official birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, marking her first official appearance in nearly six months.
