Kate Middleton and her children “upset” with Prince William’s recent decision

Kate Middleton is continuing her cancer treatment outside the public spotlight. It’s been about two months since she shared the news, which shocked royal fans around the world. There’s no news when she could be back on royal duty. However, new reports suggest that King Charles has made his mind up about her possible comeback this summer.

The Princess of Wales has received get-well messages from fans around the world, and when it comes to her family, they have made sure to give her all the support possible. Her parents, siblings, and the entire royal family are there for her one hundred percent. And in everyday life, her husband, Prince William, is her rock.

While Prince William has taken on many responsibilities in his father and wife’s absence, being a husband and a good father is his priority. The future king has been praised for handling the very challenging situation. But on a royal outing just days ago, William revealed that he upset his wife and children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis with a recent decision.

The royal family’s first half of 2024 has been more than just challenging. When Kate Middleton was hospitalized for 13 days after her abdominal surgery, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.

The king canceled all his royal engagements, and Prince William and Queen Camilla began taking on more responsibility regarding royal engagements.

Kate’s absence from public life, not least because of the manipulated Mother’s Day picture, resulted in many conspiracy theories surrounding her. But on March 22, she told the world why she was absent.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful; however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” Kate Middleton said in her statement, recorded in the Windsor Gardens.

“This of course, came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be okay.”

King Charles and Kate Middleton were both praised for revealing their respective cancer diagnoses. Following Kate’s announcement, visits to the NHS website’s cancer information page increased by nearly five times, and Macmillan Cancer Support experienced a similar surge around Charles’ announcement.\

Meanwhile, the conspiracy theories about Kate reportedly made Prince William very frustrated.

Kate Middleton stayed quiet because of Prince William, royal expert says
In an interview with GB News, author Alexander Larman argued that the conspiracies surrounding Kate Middleton showed that the world is “obsessed by the health of the royal family,” and “look to them so set an example.”

Moreover, Larman claimed that Kate stayed quiet because of Prince William.

“The trolls have carried on to this day. But one thing that’s very interesting is if you look at the difference between the responses,” the author said. “Buckingham Palace came forward very quickly and gave a fairly candid idea of what’s happening with Charles with his illness, and Kensington Palace didn’t.”

“I think that’s because Prince William is much more into the vein of never complain, never explain, which was his great grandfather’s motto, and has always served the Royal Family well,” Alexander Larman continued.

“But it doesn’t hold up in 2024 because you’ve got to allow the idea the information is going to get out into the public, whether you like it or not.”

Prince William has juggled his responsibilities to the Crown and being a father and husband for months. He’s been praised for handling the situation, but experts have argued that he’s also been through a tough time.

On April 18, about a month after Kate’s cancer diagnosis was announced, he returned to royal duty as he visited a food distribution charity.

According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the “well-timed” outing sent a hidden message that things are returning to normality.

“Royals realize that every single thing they do sends a message in one way or another. It wasn’t just a question of appearing with George at an occasion that was enjoyable,” he told The Sun.

“It was a question of sending a signal that it was business as usual – as far as that was reasonable to be expected. If Catherine had been there, it would have been fantastic, but no one is expecting that. People wouldn’t expect that after her video message, which I think is the bravest ever on a health issue by a public figure in Britain.”

King Charles could ‘replace’ Kate Middleton with another royal family member this summer
Moreover, Richard Fitzwilliams said that William’s appearance at the food distribution charity also sends a message that not only him but also Kate are on their way to resuming royal duties.

“We know William is going back to royal duties shortly. The royal family obviously needs him. This was an important appearance, simply in the sense that it was what one would call normal. Obviously, with the royal family very little is actually normal at the moment. He is clearly looking after the children as far as feasible. I mean, it’s it’s a burden William has. It sent this message that things some things are going on, more or less as normal,” Fitzwilliams told The Sun.

While Kate Middleton hasn’t been on royal duty for months, it’s been reported that she still has done some work from both her hospital bed and later from home. But those who expect the princess back on royal duty soon might be disappointed.

At least, that’s according to a Daily Mail source, who claims King Charles is looking to other royal family members, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, to take her place in the many critical royal events coming up this summer.

“They’ve got a busy diary coming up, and they need to widen the family at social events. You’ve got a whole week of Ascot. You have four garden parties. You’ve got Trooping the Colour, and you’ve got a state visit before you even start on other things,” the source said.

The source added that King Charles is looking to “bring in some fresh blood,” as he believes they’ve “grown into very sensible, lovely women” who could be a great asset for the royal family.

“I think they are going through hell”
“They have been crying out for that royal glamour that has been missing during a time when his slimmed-down monarchy is in desperate need of bulking up.”

“Beatrice, in particular, has been desperate for her chance to shine. She was once shy, and her style was a little frumpy. But these days she’s ambitious, confident and fashionable. She looks great in photos,” the source concluded.

Kate Middleton and her husband have always prioritized their children’s needs over their own. As the next generation of royals, they have repeatedly shown how they want to modernize the monarchy in raising their children. The couple wants to make their children’s lives as normal as possible, considering they are some of the most famous children in the world.

Even though William has shared that Kate and their children are “doing well” despite the challenging situation, everyone isn’t convinced. Designer Amaia Arrieta, who’s worked closely with the Wales family in the past, told the Telegraph that things aren’t what they might seem.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell,” Arrieta told the Telegraph. “I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

As mentioned, Amaia Arrieta has worked closely with the Wales family, mainly sourcing clothing for royal photos.

“Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” she added, “It’s often a very tight deadline. We would do anything for them… the children always look amazing in the end.”

Prince William says Kate and their children were “upset” over travel decision
Prince William has been back on royal duty for about a month. Kate Middleton generally would have joined him for many outings, but that won’t happen for a while, considering her recovery phase.

However, even though the Wales family knows how things are, it appears that Kate and her children still don’t appreciate everything William does. One of those things happened days ago, as Prince William visited the Isles of Scilly.

The archipelago is located off the southwestern tip of Cornwall, over which William became the Duke when Charles became king in September 2022. During his two-day tour, he made one stop at St. Mary’s Community Hospital, where he chatted with an administrator, Tracy Smith.

“I asked William about his wife Kate and he said: ‘She’s doing well, thanks.’ And I suggested they might like to come for a visit and bring the children,” Smith recalled the meeting as reported by several news outlets.

However, it appeared that Kate and the children didn’t appreciate his decision to travel to the Isles of Scilly alone.

As per Express, William said the trip had “upset” his wife and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

He said they were “upset I’m here without them” as he praised the glorious weather.

“My family are very upset I’m here without them. The children will kill me if I don’t go home later,” William said.

William’s claim about his family was undoubtedly humorous, but it most likely tells a bigger story. According to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, the fact that he was away for two nights shows the public that things are going the right way.

“I’ve no doubt that Catherine’s parents will be staying with her, but even so it must be a step in the right direction. Hopefully Catherine is feeling stronger every day and, with the sun now shining, she’ll be able to enjoy the great outdoors which, for her, has always been restorative,” she told OK!.

Let’s wish Kate Middleton all the best in her recovery by sharing this article on Facebook with friends and family.

On My Way to Work, I Found an Elderly Woman Almost Frozen in a Snowdrift Near My House – What She Gave Me Changed Everything

On a frozen January morning, Amy found an elderly woman lying motionless in the snow near her driveway. Against her better judgment, she chose to help instead of walking away. What seemed like a chance encounter set off a chain of unimaginable events that changed Amy’s life forever.

The first week of January is always unforgiving — icy winds that sting your face in the dead of winter, snow that piles up faster than you can shovel, and mornings so silent they almost feel eerie. That day was no exception. I was trudging toward my car, dreading another routine day at work when something strange caught my eye.

At the edge of my driveway, near the snowdrift, lay a slumped figure. At first, I thought it was trash blown in from somewhere, but the shape was disturbingly human. My heart began to race.

“Hey!” I called out hesitantly, taking slow steps forward. “Are you okay?”

The figure didn’t move.

Just then, my neighbor, Mr. Lewis, came around the corner with his dog. He stopped and squinted at the scene. “What’s this about?”

“I think… it’s a person,” I said.

Mr. Lewis sighed, pulling his muffler tighter. “Probably just some drunk or a vagrant. Best to leave it be or call the cops. People like that bring their own trouble.”

“How can you be so callous?” I shot back angrily. “That’s a human being lying there in the snow! What if it was your loved one out here, freezing to death while people walked by?”

“Your call, Amy,” he muttered, tugging his dog away. “Don’t come crying to me when this turns ugly.”

I ignored him, my instincts screaming otherwise. As I stepped closer, the figure stirred slightly. It was an elderly woman, her face pale and her lips nearly blue. Her damp hair clung to her face, and her thin coat was no match for the freezing cold.

“Ma’am?” I crouched down, panicking as I reached for my phone. “Can you hear me? Please, just give me a sign you’re alive! Dear God, please let her be alive!”

Her eyes fluttered open, and she whispered something faintly. “No… don’t… there’s a… a note for you.”

“A note? For me?” I asked, confused.

With a trembling hand, she pointed toward her coat pocket. “Please…” she whimpered. “Before it’s too late… I must tell you… must make it right…”

I hesitated but reached in and pulled out a weathered envelope. My name — AMY — was scrawled on it in shaky handwriting. My breath caught in my throat.

“Ma’am, how do you know my name?” I asked, but her head slumped forward, and she went still. “No, no, no! Stay with me! Please stay with me!”

My hands fumbled as I dialed 911. Within minutes, an ambulance arrived, and paramedics carried her away on a stretcher.

“You did more than I would’ve,” Mr. Lewis muttered, shaking his head. “Probably best not to get too involved.”

“Is that what your mother taught you?” I snapped, tears of frustration forming in my eyes. “To walk away when someone needs help? To turn your back on another person’s suffering?”

He flinched as if I’d slapped him, a flash of shame crossing his face. “My mother… she would have stopped,” he whispered, almost to himself. “She would have helped.”

I didn’t respond further. My focus was on the envelope. I tore it open with trembling fingers, my stomach twisting in knots.

The message inside was short, but it sent my heart racing:

“Amy, your real grandmother left you $500,000 inheritance. Arrive at this address. Hurry up…”

I stared at the paper, my mind swirling. Real grandmother? I’d been told my grandmother had passed away long before I was born. Is this some sort of scam? A cruel joke?

“This can’t be real,” I whispered to myself, reading the note over and over.

The woman’s frail figure haunted me all day. By evening, I couldn’t take it anymore. I decided to visit her in the hospital.

When I entered her hospital room, she was awake, her frail body propped up against some pillows. Her sunken eyes softened when she saw me.

“You came,” she whispered. “I was so afraid you wouldn’t —”

“Of course I did,” I replied, pulling up a chair. “Who are you? And how do you know my name? Why were you out there in the freezing cold looking for me?”

Her hands trembled as she reached for mine. “I owe you an explanation, Amy. It’s time you knew the truth. The truth I’ve been too cowardly to face for 28 years.”

“The truth about what?”

“I’m your grandmother. Your REAL GRANDMOTHER.”

I blinked, her words hanging heavy in the air. “That’s not possible. My grandmother died before I was born.”

She shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “That’s what your mother wanted you to believe. But it’s not true. I’m alive… and I’ve been living with this guilt every single day.”

“No,” I stood up, backing away from the bed. “My mother wouldn’t lie to me. Not about something like this. She used to tell me everything… we shared everything until her last breath!”

“She did it to protect you,” the woman pleaded, reaching out. “To shield you from my cruelty. From the heartless woman who threw away her own daughter’s happiness for the sake of pride.”

“Stop it!” I cried, pressing my hands against my ears. “This isn’t real. This can’t be real!”

She gestured weakly to the chair beside her bed. “Please, sit down, Amy. There’s something you need to know.”

I sank into the chair, my heart pounding.

“Your mother,” she began, “she was my pride and joy. Top of her class at university, studying business and economics. Everything I’d dreamed for her…” She paused, dabbing at her eyes. “Then one day, she came home absolutely glowing. She’d met someone — your father. But I didn’t like him.”

“What was wrong with my dad?” I asked.

A look of shame crossed her face. “Nothing. Nothing at all, except in my foolish mind. He was a carpenter, you see. Worked with his hands, and lived paycheck to paycheck. But the way your mother’s eyes lit up when she talked about him…” She shook her head. “Your father had such a beautiful heart. Always helping others, and always ready with a kind word or deed.”

“So why?” I whispered. “Why did you disapprove?”

“Because I was blind. When your mother told me she was pregnant, I exploded. ‘You’re throwing your life away!’ I screamed at her. ‘Everything we’ve worked for, everything we’ve planned!’” Her hands twisted in the hospital blanket. “I can still see her face, standing there in our living room, one hand protectively over her stomach… over you.”

“She had so much potential. I gave her an ultimatum: leave him and inherit the family business, or walk away with nothing. She chose him. She chose you.”

I clenched my fists, anger rising in my chest. “And you just let her go? You didn’t even try to fix it? Your own daughter, carrying your grandchild, and you just… threw her away?”

“I was stubborn. And proud. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. Your mother passed away when you were 15 years old. But I never stopped watching. I followed your life from a distance — your milestones, your achievements, and your wedding day. I was a coward, Amy. Too ashamed to face you or tell you that I was your grandmother.”

“You were there?” I gasped, tears flowing freely now. “At my wedding?”

“Back row, hat pulled low,” she smiled sadly. “You were so beautiful. Just like your mother on her wedding day. The day I refused to attend. I watched you dance with your father, saw how he looked at you with such pride and love… and I realized what a fool I’d been. Love isn’t about status or money. It’s about moments like that.”

“Did you… did you really come for me that day?” I asked.

“Yes. You were radiant, just like your mom at her wedding.”

She explained how she had fallen ill recently and didn’t have much time left. “I wanted to make amends before it’s too late,” she said. “That’s why I came to your house, disguised as a stranger. My car broke down, and I walked the rest of the way. But the cold… guess I fainted from exhaustion.”

“You could have died!” I burst out. “All this time… why wait until now? Why put yourself through this? You didn’t even show up for Mom’s funeral. Why?”

“Because pride is a poison that kills slowly,” she whispered, tears rolling down her weathered cheeks. “And fear is its faithful companion. I’ve been dying inside for years, watching from afar, and too scared to reach out. But now that I’m really dying. And I couldn’t bear to take these secrets to my grave.”

Her voice trailed off as tears filled her eyes. She reached for the side table and handed me another envelope. “Everything I have is yours now. It’s not enough to make up for what I’ve done, but it’s all I can give.”

I opened the envelope with trembling hands. Inside were deeds, bank account information, and a letter transferring ownership of her entire estate to me.

“Why are you doing this? Money can’t fix what happened. It can’t buy back all those lost years.”

“Because your mother deserved better. And so do you.” She gripped my hand tightly. “Because love shouldn’t come with conditions, and I learned that lesson far too late. The money… it’s not to buy forgiveness. It’s to give you the chances I denied your mother. To help you build the life she fought so hard to give you.”

The next few weeks were a blur. I spent countless nights replaying my grandmother’s words, wrestling with emotions I couldn’t name. Anger. Grief. Guilt. Gratitude.

When she passed away not long after, I attended her funeral with my dad. The church was nearly empty, a testament to the bridges she’d burned. As I stood there, a familiar figure appeared beside me.

“I’m sorry about what I said that morning,” Mr. Lewis murmured. “About leaving her in the snow. Sometimes we forget our humanity in the coldest moments. My mother would be ashamed of what I’ve become.”

“It’s never too late to change,” I whispered, squeezing his hand. “Never too late to thaw a frozen heart.”

I clutched the letter my grandmother had written for me, her final words etched into my heart:

“Amy, I can never undo the damage I caused. But I hope, in some small way, I’ve given you a chance for something better. Your mother was the bravest woman I ever knew, and you are every bit her daughter. Make her proud.”

In the end, I used the inheritance to honor both of them. I set up a scholarship fund in my mother’s name for young women trying to stay in school. I donated a portion to women’s shelters. And with the rest, I bought a modest house — the first real home I’d ever owned.

The day I moved in with my husband, I found my dad sitting alone on my new porch, tears in his eyes.

“I should have told you the truth,” he whispered as I sat beside him. “About her, about everything. I was so focused on protecting you that I didn’t realize you were strong enough to handle it.”

“You protected me,” I said, taking his hand. “Just like Mom always had. Like she did when she chose love over money all those years ago.”

“She was right about one thing,” my dad smiled through his tears. “Love shouldn’t come with conditions. And you, my beautiful daughter, you’ve proven that by turning your grandmother’s final gift into something that will help others. You’ve broken the cycle.”

Sometimes, life hands you a story you’d never expect — like a frozen morning, a mysterious note in a stranger’s pocket, and a family secret buried under years of regret. But in the end, love finds its way through the cracks.
