Royal Experts Break Down in Tears Over King Charles and Kate Middleton’s Act Amid Cancer Battles
Royal experts are applauding King Charles and Princess Kate for showing extraordinary courage by attending the VE Day celebrations despite their ongoing health struggles.
Both the monarch and the Princess of Wales are currently battling cancer, yet they stepped out in public with poise and strength, drawing admiration across the nation.
Royal commentator Phil Dampier, speaking to The Sun, described the occasion as “very poignant,” underscoring its deep emotional significance for the Royal Family.
He pointed out that this year’s event marked the first VE Day without the presence of the late Queen Elizabeth II, making it an especially reflective and solemn moment.
Dampier recalled how Queen Elizabeth once stood on the same famous Buckingham Palace balcony with Winston Churchill to commemorate the end of World War II.
King Charles, now standing in the place once occupied by his beloved mother, likely had that iconic memory in mind as he greeted the gathered crowds.
Princess Anne, ever composed, was also seen quietly observing the crowd. Experts suggest she may have been thinking about her parents’ contributions during the war.
“Prince Philip served with honor, and Queen Elizabeth also played a part during the war. These memories surely weigh heavily on their children,” Dampier shared.

He emphasized the powerful symbolism of the day, noting that as the years pass, there are fewer and fewer veterans left to witness these commemorations.
“The next VE Day celebration could be without most surviving veterans,” he said, underlining how fleeting these living connections to history have become.
Dampier observed that King Charles appeared “deeply emotional” during the ceremony, at times holding back visible tears as he waved to the crowd.
He also commended Princess Kate, who stood beside Prince William, looking composed yet clearly moved by the weight of the occasion.
“They’re both fighting private battles with cancer, yet they chose to focus entirely on the veterans and their sacrifices,” the expert noted.
Dampier concluded by saying, “Charles and Kate made sure the spotlight remained on those who served. It was a touching act of national gratitude and duty.”
