Prince William forged an ‘unlikely ally’ with Queen Camilla amid royal family health crises, expert says, reports the mirror.
Two of The Firm’s senior members, the King, 75, and the Princess of Wales, 42, are being treated for cancer. During their treatment, they were forced to strip themselves of their royal duties and withdraw from the stage.
Since announcing his condition, Queen Camilla has increased her number of official duties – filling in for Charles at 13 royal engagements – while the king continues his proper work from home.
Meanwhile, Prince William, 41, has faced a number of solo engagements, all under the cover of social media, including a number of internet sleuths who have come up with ‘theories’ about Kate’s location.
During this difficult time, according to royal expert Jennie Bond, William and Camilla formed an unexpected bond.

Jennie also said OK! magazine that she had noticed changes in William and Camilla’s relationship before Kate released her video statement announcing that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
She said: Recent events have obviously brought William and Camilla closer together. They were left, almost literally, to tend to the crown while the king and princess recovered.
“Their teams will work more closely to coordinate their diaries and cover planned commitments, and Camilla and William will surely have been in much closer regular contact.”
Meanwhile, a royal source told the Sunday Times of Queen Camilla: “Although she didn’t expect to find herself in the position of leading the family, the Queen is absolutely prepared to do whatever needs to be done. be done for the institution.
“She found reserves of energy she didn’t even know she had, and the esteem of her by those inside the palace soared as she put her shoulder to the wheel. flying.”
Just yesterday, Kate announced in an Instagram video that cancer cells had been discovered, while she was undergoing surgery for a different illness in January.
She explained that she hadn’t spoken about it earlier because she wanted to have time to “explain everything” to George, Charlotte and Louis and assure them that “everything will be fine.”
A Palace spokesperson said: “We will not share any other private medical information. The princess has the right to medical confidentiality, like all of us.

Currently, the specific type of cancer Kate has is unknown, but she told us in her video message last night that the cancer was discovered after her abdominal surgery in January.
She said: “The operation was successful, but tests carried out after the operation revealed the presence of cancer.
“As you can imagine, this took a while. It took me a while to recover from major surgery and be able to begin my treatment.
Lawrence Young, professor of molecular oncology at the University of Warwick, said contracting the disease when you are young like Kate, 42, means your chances of survival are higher.
He added that as Kate’s cancer was discovered by chance while she was undergoing surgery for another illness, it was likely in its early stages.
