In the wake of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, the Royal Family finds itself grappling with the absence of younger members to handle day-to-day responsibilities, leaving the burden on elderly HRHs, some as old as 80, to manage essential tasks.
Royal commentator Daniela Elser recently highlighted this concerning development, emphasizing the strain placed on the monarchy following Kate’s cancer revelation.
In her analysis for News.com.au, Elser underscored the urgent need for behind-the-scenes emergency meetings to address the logistical challenges arising from the Princess’s absence.
Elser pointed out that while William and Kate’s office should have been strategizing how to navigate Kate’s patronages, charities, and significant initiatives during her treatment, the reality is far from straightforward.
With both Kate and William focusing on her recovery, and the King also undergoing treatment, the Royal Family is left with a workforce comprised mainly of hard-working but aging members.

The timing of Kate’s illness exacerbates the situation, given the limited number of senior working royals remaining.
As a result, the monarchy is increasingly reliant on elderly members to fulfill royal duties and maintain continuity in operations.
As the Royal Family grapples with these challenges, the public remains hopeful for Kate’s swift recovery and the eventual return of a more diverse and robust royal workforce.
