After both King Charles and Princess Kate were diagnosed with cancer, the two could soon be even closer than ever.
London - The British royal family is currently going through a particularly difficult time. Two high-ranking royals, King Charles (75) and Princess Kate (42), were diagnosed with cancer at the same time. This experience could bring the two of them even closer together than before.
“What the daughter he never had is like”: King Charles and Princess Kate share a similar fate
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith (75) explained in an interview with “people.com” that Charles and Kate had always had a very good relationship with each other: “I don't think it's presumptuous to say that she was like their daughter is that he never had.” The king shares with Prince William the desire to protect his wife, whose illness also has an impact on Meghan Markes.
According to People, an insider finds the close connection between the royal head of the family and his daughter-in-law not surprising: They are not only king and future queen, but also “two patients who are going through a common health experience.” Kate Middleton and King Charles met for a private lunch at Windsor Castle the day before she released the video about her cancer on March 22nd. Buckingham Palace said it was “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking out.”
“She calls him often”: Princess Kate and King Charles are in close contact
“closerweekly.com” also reports on the close relationship between the two cancer patients: “She treats him like a father, not like a king, which he appreciates. She calls him often.” The king and his daughter-in-law also have a good time together: “Charles may seem stuffy, but he has a good sense of humor and Kate always makes him laugh.”

While King Charles and Princess Kate are getting closer and closer, Crown Prince William (41) is not only under pressure to represent his father at public events, but also the mother of his children Prince George (10) and Princess Charlotte (8). and Prince Louis (5) to help out. But William is in no hurry to become king himself, says a royal source: “William helps as much as he can, but he is very respectful.” That's why Prince William wasn't by her side during Princess Kate's video.
