Prior to Kate Middleton’s public announcement about her cancer diagnosis, King Charles held a private meeting with his “beloved daughter-in-law,” the Princess of Wales, in London. The meeting was prompted by Kate’s desire to gain insight into the King’s own experience battling cancer. According to a source from Windsor Castle speaking to a leading publication, it was uncommon for just the two of them to convene in such a manner. The King was already aware of Kate’s cancer diagnosis, which she affectionately referred to as ‘my beloved daughter-in-law’. The meeting provided an opportunity for them to share their experiences and offer support to each other, given that the King had recently begun his own treatment regimen and made his diagnosis public.
The source revealed that the King left the meeting feeling emotionally moved, emphasizing the close bond he shares with Kate and his deep regard for her, considering her as his own daughter. They acknowledged that both individuals can find solace and strength in each other during their respective battles with cancer.
