Some time ago, Kate Middleton left Kensington Palace to attend one of her institutional duties. At that moment, she didn't hesitate for a second to confess the whole truth about her illness: "It's a roller coaster."
Last Sunday, July 13, the Princess of Wales was once again the center of attention during the 2025 Wimbledon final. In this match, Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner claimed victory.
However, despite this historic sporting clash, it was Kate Middleton who starred in one of the most moving moments of the day. All of this happened as she kept a conversation with an 11-year-old boy who has also had to face cancer at such a young age.
Minutes before the match, the Princess of Wales, Prince William, and their three children approached him to talk for a few minutes. At that moment, according to media outlets such as The Sun, Kate said some moving words to him: "How brave you've been! Good luck today, we'll be cheering for you."
The connection between them was more than evident, since Kate Middleton has also experienced cancer firsthand. In fact, a few months ago, the future British queen didn't hesitate to reveal the whole truth about this tough illness.
Kate Middleton revealed far from Kensington Palace the whole truth about her illness: "It's not a bed of roses"
On March 22, 2024, months after undergoing abdominal surgery, Kate Middleton publicly announced that she was suffering from cancer. However, six months later, the princess confirmed that the illness had gone into remission through a video:
"The cancer journey is complex, frightening, and unpredictable for everyone, especially for those around you and closest to you," stated the Princess of Wales at that time.
However, a few days earlier, during a visit to Colchester Hospital (Essex), Kate Middleton spoke candidly about her recovery. In fact, she assured that the process hasn't been easy at all:
"It's like a roller coaster, it's not a bed of roses... The reality is that you go through tough moments. Everyone expects you to be better, but that's not the case." But she didn't stop there; Prince William's wife assured that "the later phase is really tough."
"You can't manage at home as before, you have to find your new normal and that takes time," Kate Middleton added honestly. These tough and moving statements have given visibility to a silent reality experienced by many families.
