In the name of her children: the reasons that led Kate Middleton, the ‘all-terrain’ mother, to hide her cancer – The Mag

The last few months have been trying for Kate Middleton, who at the age of 42 received the diagnosis that no one wants to hear: he is fighting cancer. Without detailing the type of tumor that affects her, the Princess of Wales said only that she is at an early stage of the disease and that she will begin preventive chemotherapy, a very common treatment when cancer cells are detected after surgery, and which aims to ensure that these are eliminated, thus preventing the spread of the disease.

Despite being at an early stage of the disease, which greatly increases the chances of a cure, the cancer diagnosis is extremely difficult for the princess who, more than ever, at this stage is distressed for her children. It was, in fact, because George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five, that it took the princess so long to speak publicly about what was happening to her.

“We hope you understand that as a family we need time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. As you can imagine, this took time. It took time for me to recover from major surgery and begin my treatment. But most importantly, it took time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a proper way that reassures them that I’m going to be fine.“, he said in the video.

The conversation was the hardest moment of the entire process, as well as the time she spent hospitalized and never saw her children. It was the first time that Kate had been away from her children for so long, in a particularly difficult process for everyone. While his wife was hospitalized, William did everything he could to make sure the children didn’t resent their mother’s absence, but that was also very difficult. This is because Kate is known as a “all terrain mother” what “get your hands dirty” and does “activities with children”. Her absence was, therefore, greatly felt by the boys who were left to their father and nannies, in addition to their school routines.

And even when he returned home, the children didn’t have exactly the mother they were used to back. Without knowing for sure many details about the surgery Kate underwent, it is certain that it was a major operation, which forced her to stay in hospital for two weeks, and then a good period with many limitations at home, which meant that all activities I did with the children were temporarily suspended.

Throughout the entire process, William has shown himself to be a loving husband, always at Kate’s side to support her. Despite having already resumed his official commitments and knowing that it is extremely important for his family, at a time when the king is absent, the prince’s main priority is his family and he has already canceled official appearances because of his health. of the woman.

ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY

During Easter and school holidays, Kate Middleton and William chose to leave their official residence in Windsor and head to the country house at Anmer Hall. They did so immediately after the Princess of Wales’ announcement, which represented a great relief for the couple, who were already feeling the public pressure of having to clarify the matter.

It is in a more secluded place and among nature that the family will spend these Easter weeks, taking the opportunity to recover with the privacy they need, while Kate declares war on her new silent enemy, with the strength she needs to face the disease.

It will be a necessarily different Easter, very centered on the family and, above all, on the children, who are everything to a loving mother like Kate.
