Kate Middleton’s absence from public life has left Prince William with significant responsibilities, creating a substantial void in the royal family.
Royal commentator Bronte Coy highlighted these challenges in her piece for News.com.au, emphasizing the pressures facing the Prince of Wales as he navigates this difficult period.
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is currently undergoing preventive cancer treatment, and her absence has left a noticeable gap in the palace’s public relations efforts.
Coy noted, “It’s no secret that the Prince and Princess of Wales are the most dazzling members of the ever-shrinking royal team.
Kate’s absence from public life as she undergoes preventive treatment for cancer has left a gaping hole in the palace’s positive PR effort and left William shouldering a huge percentage of that responsibility.”
The responsibilities and public engagements that Kate would typically share now fall solely on William’s shoulders.
This situation has further complicated the management of royal duties and schedules, especially with the additional sensitivities of coordinating between Prince William and King Charles.
Coy also touched upon the “green-eyed monster” of internal jealousies within the royal family, which often come to light when younger royals are in the media spotlight.
This dynamic was notably mentioned by Prince Harry in his memoir, where he discussed the internal rivalries and pressures within the royal household.
However, Coy pointed out an unexpected outcome from these challenges.

“In a stunning twist of irony, it appears the storm brought upon the House of Windsor by the Duke of Sussex’s many revelations in the media, including that of the internal jealousies, has helped to bring the King and William closer together,” she added.
As Kate Middleton focuses on her health, Prince William continues to take on more public duties, striving to maintain the royal family’s image and responsibilities.
The situation underscores the essential role that Kate plays in the royal family and the significant impact of her temporary absence.
