Kate Middleton's Battle with Cancer: The Healing Power of Family Joy

For Kate Middleton, at this moment, the joy of her children is the best cure. The Princess of Wales, who is battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, has talked to her children about her tumor, explaining that with treatment, she will return to perfect shape. And the little ones, George, Charlotte, and Louis of Cambridge - aged 10, 8, and 4 years respectively - as revealed by a source to People, are showing "extraordinary resilience." Despite the initial fear, the children reacted well: "George, Charlotte, and Louis have been fantastic, their resilience has left everyone speechless. They always stay close to mom and help her a lot to keep her spirits up." The children, the insider explains, "support both Kate and William with smiles and many moments of fun." And for Middleton, "at this moment, joy is the best cure." King Charles, after Balmoral, opens a new room in Buckingham Palace: here is the room that overlooks the balcony (and how much it costs to visit it). How they reacted. George, Charlotte, and Louis, the source continues, "are the center of William and Kate's world." Thinking of them, the princess chose to postpone the release of the video with which she revealed to the world that she has cancer: "The Princess of Wales made the public announcement about her health only when her children started their Easter holidays. George, Charlotte, and Louis will return to class at the end of April: until then, the family will be able to spend private time together." Family days. After the video with which Kate revealed her illness, the Princes of Wales, with their three children, left Adelaide Cottage in Windsor and moved by helicopter to Amner Hall, the family's country estate in Norfolk. They stayed there also for Easter - skipping the traditional mass with King Charles III (who also has cancer) and the rest of the royal family - and there they will remain, indeed, until the children return to school. At that point, it will perhaps be inevitable for George, Charlotte, and Louis to have to face the comments of their classmates about their mother's health. But Kate gave them all the time possible so that they could understand and assimilate the news with the utmost serenity. And the children, at least until today, "have amazed everyone with their resilience." A resilience that for mom Middleton is the greatest support: "Kate draws her courage mostly from her children and from William," a "strong, reliable husband, who offers her immense support."
