Norfolk – King Charles III (75) and his daughter-in-law Princess Kate (42) are both struggling with worrying health issues and find comfort in being able to confide in each other about what they are going through.

"I noticed that in his statement of support after Kate's broadcast, the king said he was in 'close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law,'" he explains. He said he was impressed by the fact that the king not only said he and Kate were close, but he said they maintained the closest contact.

Jennie continued: “There is no doubt that cancer has strengthened an already strong relationship.” It was very touching to think of Charles shuffling down the corridor in his bathrobe to see Kate when they were both at The London Clinic. The very personal lunch at Windsor Castle on the day Princess Kate's shock video was recorded, during which she spoke for the first time about her cancer diagnosis, also testifies to the new quality of the bond.

“There are so few people a senior royal can confide in with the assurance that everything they say will be kept safe. “I’m sure both Charles and Kate found it comforting to be able to talk about their feelings and chemotherapy treatment,” he adds. Of course, Kate has her own father to whom she can turn. This makes it all the clearer to see what a truly loving relationship she has built with Charles. The king, in turn, makes no secret of how proud he is of Kate.
