The world is now discovering how an emotional moment between King Charles III and his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, led to a monumental event in the Royal Family.
A close source to His Majesty spoke to The Daily Mail this week to share some private details about the events leading up to Kate Middleton’s decision to sit down and deliver a speech-like announcement about her heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.
It took a lot of courage for Middleton to share her pain and health struggles with the public. According to royal insiders who are close to the duo, it also took an emotional and powerful meeting to give Middleton the boost or wings that she needed to make the bold move.
The media outlet revealed that before Middleton sat in front of the BBC cameras, she had lunch/meeting with His Majesty. Both Middleton and her father-in-law are recovering from major surgeries and are battling cancer.
There was already a deep connection between the duo, but the unfortunate turn of events has forged a bigger bond between The Sovereign and Princess Kate.
A royal source said via The Mail: “The King has been keeping in touch with The Princess of Wales from the moment she was admitted to hospital in January and throughout her current cancer treatment.”
Insiders, who talked to The Sunday Times, shared a heartfelt story, explaining that after King Charles was operated on for an enlarged prostate, he was seen “toddling from his hospital bed to see Kate along the corridor to check on Princess Kate.”
According to The Mail, Princess Kate and King Charles traveled from London to Windsor Castle and had a peaceful moment for themselves, where they tackled heavy subjects surrounding their health and the monarchy.
The normally reserved King Charles had an emotional breakdown during the serious and sometimes painful conversation. The insider stated: “The King left his lunch feeling very emotional. They are very close, and he thinks of Catherine as his daughter. There is no doubt there is a lot they can share and use each other for support during their own deeply personal cancer battles.”
The pep talk, the vulnerability, the encouragement, and the compassion from The King helped Kate Middleton feel more comfortable writing every word of her announcement and sharing it with the public.
Middleton also shared a powerful message with those battling cancer. In her message, she stated: “At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
The Princess of Wales had the attention of the world with her announcement video.
