King Charles put on his dressing gown and came over to comfort his daughter-in-law as they both recovered from surgery at the London Clinic.

Both the monarch and the Princess of Wales were hospitalized at the prestigious Marylebone clinic, north of London, in January while they both underwent major surgery.

Inside sources said King Charles, who was treated for an enlarged prostate, was seen “walking” from his hospital bed, to see Princess Kate in the hallway.

At the time, Princess Kate had undergone major abdominal surgery, which was not thought to be for a malignant disease, but post-operative tests found signs of cancer.

The thought of the cheerful King comforting his daughter-in-law as they both face major health issues will warm the hearts of millions across the country.

Details of the touching support meeting emerged tonight, as it was also suggested that the King hopes to attend the royal family’s traditional Easter Sunday service.

It may be his first public appearance after the Princess of Wales revealed she has cancer.

The Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children will not attend next week’s service after Kate, 42, said she was receiving preventative chemotherapy in an emotional video message on Friday.

It is unlikely to be a large family gathering or service, according to The Telegraph, as the King has suspended his public-facing royal duties.

Charles has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer since early February after he was treated for an enlarged prostate at the same hospital where Kate underwent abdominal surgery.

In an emotional video message, Kate spoke about the “huge shock” after tests identified cancer following surgery and the “incredibly difficult couple of months” her family has experienced, her voice breaking with emotion at times. during the footage.

Charles is said to be “proud” of his “darling” daughter-in-law for her “bravery” in speaking out about her treatment and has remained in close contact over recent weeks.

Words of support also came from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who said: “We wish Kate and her family health and healing, and hope they can do so privately and peacefully.”

The form of the cancer has not been revealed, but the future Queen began “preventive chemotherapy” treatment in late February, and is said to be in a positive mindset for her recovery and in good spirits, describing herself as “doing well.” and getting stronger and stronger.” day’.

Well-wishers went to Windsor in Berkshire on Saturday morning, including Linda Boby, from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, who told PA: “It’s a shock, she’s such a young lady and she deserves her privacy.”

Clementine Black, a 49-year-old business consultant, said: “To be honest, it’s incredibly upsetting that Kate has to come out and say this because of online speculation.”

Political leaders from all sides have expressed sympathy and support for Kate and criticized what Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described as the “intense scrutiny” she has faced from social media and sections of the media around the world.

Lord David Cameron, the Foreign Secretary, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter: “My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales, the Prince of Wales and their three young children at this time.

“The strength of the princess, speaking so frankly, with all the pressures of publicity and raising a young family, is remarkable and she is rightly admired around the world.”

On Friday night, hashtags like ‘WeLoveYouCatherine’ and ‘GetWellSoonCatherine’ were trending on X.

It is understood that the video message, recorded on Wednesday in Windsor, was released on the day William and Kate’s three children began their Easter school holidays, to take advantage of the break and protect them from their mother’s health cover.

The announcement may end weeks of intense speculation and conspiracy theories on social media about the whereabouts and health of the future Queen.

Online rumors about Kate intensified after William missed, at very short notice, the memorial service for his godfather, the late King Constantine of Greece, on February 27.

It is now understood that the prince’s decision not to attend was related to his wife’s condition, but it is not known when the princess was informed of the positive cancer test.

More speculation was sparked after the princess admitted to “editing” her official Mother’s Day photo which had irregularities.

Another development was an investigation launched by the UK’s privacy watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office, into allegations that there were attempts to access Kate’s private medical records at the London Clinic where she underwent surgery.

It is not known how long Kate will receive treatment, but it is understood that she may be willing to attend events when she feels able to do so, in accordance with medical advice, although this will not indicate a return to full-time duties.

William will continue to balance supporting his wife and family and maintaining his official duties as he has done since his operation.

The prince will return to public duties after his children return to school following the Easter holidays.
