Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis has led to some significant changes within her family circle, particularly in the way her children interact with her, according to royal author Christopher Andersen.
During a candid interview with Fox News Digital, Andersen opened up about how Kate’s diagnosis has affected their home. He specifically noted how Princess Charlotte has taken on a unique role in the family dynamic, especially with her younger brother, Prince Louis.
“Older sister Charlotte is the ‘Louis whisperer’ in the family,” Andersen revealed. “She is better equipped to get her rambunctious little brother to behave when, as the younger boy often does, Louis goes off the rails to get attention.”
Since Kate’s cancer diagnosis became a focus in recent months, Andersen acknowledged that the children have become more receptive to their mother’s needs. “The children have been more sensitive to their mother’s needs for a little more peace and quiet than usual,” shared.
Despite the challenges, Andersen explained that the family has maintained a sense of normalcy, which has played a crucial role in Kate’s well-being. “Their overall family dynamic — the hectic school schedule, after-school activities, birthday parties and play dates that fill the calendar — hasn’t changed,” she said. He added: “That continued sense of normality has certainly been key to Kate’s recovery.”
While it’s understandable that the diagnosis has changed some aspects of their daily lives, it appears the Middleton family is finding balance, and their routines and close bonds are helping them get through this difficult time.
