In the video, Kate also highlighted why she kept her diagnosis private. She said she needed time to heal from her previous surgery, but she also wanted to make sure her children understood what was happening. She reiterated, “It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louie in a way that’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be OK.”

While this has been difficult for her, Kate has received support from her friends and family. King Charles III, who is also dealing with his cancer diagnosis, has been especially supportive.

Prince William has also been by her side and juggling his royal duties. He has been engaging with many people who are concerned about his wife. During one of his public appearances, where many asked how Kate and the children were holding up, he said, “We are all doing well, thank you.”

When Queen Camilla was also out for her royal engagements, she met two girls who made posters for Kate. Queen Camilla was touched at the love Kate was receiving, and assured everyone, saying “‘I know that Catherine is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support.”

Kate has had the world and those close to her concerned. But another person who has spoken about Kate’s challenging situation is Amaia Arrieta. She is a close friend of the family and their preferred designer. Amaia once reflected on her relationship with the royal family. She said, “Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look.”

However, the designer was distraught when she found out about Kate’s health condition. She could not wrap her head around how difficult it must be for the family. “I’m heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through hell, I hope they will be back. It’s really personal,” she expressed.
