King Charles, enjoying a renewed public presence after being cleared by his medical team to continue his duties following cancer treatment, inadvertently offered a glimpse into the struggles of his beloved daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton.
The 75-year-old monarch made a surprise visit to an army barracks in Hampshire on Thursday and joked that she would “be allowed out of my cage”. The King had remained out of public view for almost three months following his unspecified cancer diagnosis and was led to the officers’ mess by Lieutenant Colonel Grant.
Carlos, according to bbc, told the officer: “I apologize for taking you by surprise when this opportunity appeared and I had been allowed out of my cage, I wanted to come take a look.” The King’s words described how the future Queen would feel about being “under the cage” as she is not allowed to make public appearances while she undergoes preventive chemotherapy.
Meanwhile, Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has not made any official public appearances since Christmas due to her own health problems. She has been in treatment for the past four months. In March, Kate posted an emotional video statement announcing her cancer diagnosis and revealing that she was undergoing chemotherapy. The announcement was made to put an end to speculations and rumors regarding her health and absence from the limelight.
During a recent outing, Prince William provided an update on his wife’s condition, stating, “She’s doing well.”
King Charles’ visit to Hampshire was one of his first public engagements since his recovery. Despite his own health problems, the King was in good spirits, joking about being able to return to public life. However, his comments indirectly highlighted the current struggle faced by Kate Middleton, who remains out of the public eye due to her health.
Kate’s absence has been felt in the royal family, given her important role in public engagements with Prince William. Her treatment and recovery have taken precedence over her public duties, emphasizing the importance of her health and well-being.
As King Charles and Prince William continue their royal engagements, the family remains optimistic about Kate’s recovery. Her diagnosis and ongoing treatment have drawn attention to the royal family’s resilience in the face of adversity.
