Queen Camilla’s ‘secret’ role to help Kate Middleton, revealed

When Kate Middleton underwent a planned abdominal surgery in mid-January, everyone hoped she heals well. However, things didn’t seem right when she was nowhere to be seen, with the Palace assuring the general public that the Princess was doing well.

Soon after, speculations and rumors started circulating around, and they only intensified after Kate posted a photo posing with her three children on the patio on Mother’s Day. The reason why, as we all know already, was that the photo was manipulated. This was quickly noticed by photoshop experts, but the truth is, one doesn’t need to be an expert to see that someone had edited the image before publishing.

Later, Kate posted on her social media that she was the one who edited the photo and while people praised her for confessing the truth, they slammed the Palace for not defending her.

On Friday, Kate put a stop to the rumors when she decided to address the public via a video in which she spoke of her health and revealed that after her abdominal surgery doctors ran tests that revealed the presence of cancer.

“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” Kate video detailed. “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.”

The Princess further detailed that it had taken her time to recover from the surgery and “to explain everything” to her children George, Charlotte and Louis.

“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 Louie in a way that’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be okay. As I said to them, I am well, and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal. In my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort.”

She didn’t reveal the specific type of cancer she’s battling.

In the video, she asks for privacy during this difficult time for her and her family.

The Princess of Wales continued, “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both. We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able — but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”

“At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope,” she concluded. “You are not alone.”

During Kate and Charles’ absence, it is their spouses who stepped in and took upon themselves to carry out royal duties.

Royal expert Angela Levin appeared on GB News, saying that Queen Camilla is “holding the royal family up.”

“I mean, to wait till you’re 73 is a long time before you can take the crown. I think obviously, at his age, it’s very difficult, but he’s very determined, and he’s only really just started to be king,” Levin said. “Supporting him very much, absolutely by his side, is Queen Camilla, who is going to all the engagements that they would have gone to together on her own.”

“And so that way he will feel it’s still moving, it’s still running, and they can discuss it and talk about it. And I think that’s marvelous. I mean, she is holding the Royal Family up and being strong. If you imagine 30 years ago, people were saying the whole Royal Family would absolutely disintegrate, and she would be of no use.”

Besides having revealed that she doesn’t want to be under the spotlight, Camilla is doing an excellent job and is very “accessible.”

“To support her husband. She understands him very well because they’ve been together for over 50 years, before they even got married. it’s a long time and they make each other laugh,” Angela Levin added. “They have the same sense of humor, they understand each other, and if you see them when they’re out, they move together. It’s very tandem.”

Today, it’s safe to say that Camilla is a much-appreciated member of the family, but both she and Kate once went through a media scrutiny.

For Kate, it was back in the day when her and William’s relationship went public, with the medial labeling as “Lazy Kate,” and “Waity Katie.”

Sadly, she once again experienced that scrutiny following the Mother’s Day picture incident.

In an interview with Today, The Telegraph’s associate editor, Camilla Tominey, claimed that the queen “has been trying to help [Catherine] through the media storm aspect in all of this.”

Tominey said, “I think before [Catherine] made the announcement because she was having to cope with the fallout of everything that was said about the Mother’s Day photo and everything else, I think Camilla lent some support.”

“Because let’s be honest, [Camilla] knows what it’s like to have a difficult press. She knows what it’s like to shepherd children through a media storm,” she added.

When Camilla’s affair with Charles was exposed, she was one of the most hated women in the country. At one point, she was even afraid to leave her house because she endured “torrents” of mistreatment from the public.

My Twin Sister Deleted Our Photos and Disappeared — When I Finally Found Her, She Pretended Not to Know Me

Miley’s life turned upside down when her twin sister, Sara, erased all their photos from social media and disappeared without a trace. When Miley finally found her months later, Sara’s reaction was even more chilling: she pretended not to know her.

I’ll never forget the day when I found out that every photo of Sara and me had vanished from social media. Just… gone. Like we’d never existed.

My heart was pounding so hard, and I almost felt like throwing up.

Let me back up a bit. I’m Miley, just a regular 24-year-old girl trying to do her best in life. Everything was going well up until a few months ago.

It all started after I had finally landed a job that could jumpstart my career. I was sharing a tiny apartment with my twin sister, Sara.

We’d been through thick and thin together, from losing our mom in a car accident when we were five to navigating the foster care system.

Those early days after Mom died are a blur.

I remember holding Sara’s hand as we walked into our new foster home. We were so terrified.

“It’ll be okay, Miley,” Sara whispered. “I’ve got you.”

That was Sara. Always the brave one, always looking out for me. She’d always step in whenever kids at school would tease me about my secondhand clothes or my quiet nature.

“Back off!” she’d scream. “Nobody messes with my sister!”

We were the same age, but Sara had taken up the role of the protective elder sister who was always there to keep me safe.

I don’t know how I would have dealt with the bullies if it wasn’t for her.

Growing up, Sara and I were inseparable. We shared everything from clothes to dreams. We even went to the same college together.

After graduation, I landed a job at a marketing firm, while Sara was still searching for her big break.

“Don’t worry about me,” she’d say, waving off my concerns. “You focus on killing it at work. I’ll figure something out.”

“I’m here for you, Sara,” I’d tell her. “And I always will be. We’ll figure this out together, okay?”

It was a few months after graduating when we rented this small, cozy apartment.

We’ve made so many memories there, and it felt so good to live with my twin sister. After all, she was the only family I had.

But a few months ago, things started to change.

Sara became… different. Secretive. She’d disappear for hours without explanation, or stay glued to her phone at home.

One night, we were sitting in the living room when I decided to confront her. I couldn’t take it anymore.

“Sara, what’s going on? Are you seeing someone?”

She glanced up from her phone, looking annoyed. “What? No. Why would you think that?”

“You’re always on your phone, sneaking off… I’m worried about you.”

She rolled her eyes. “Miley, I love you, but you need to chill. I’m fine. Just… doing some research for job stuff.”

I wanted to believe her, but something felt off.

However, since I was swamped with work and wanted to prove myself at my new job, I decided not to worry about it.

Big mistake.

A few weeks later, I was at work when I noticed Sara had erased our online history. All our photos had disappeared from social media, and she had blocked me from every platform.

I raced home from work that day, praying I was overreacting. But my worst fears came alive when I burst into our apartment.

Sara was gone.

Her closet was empty and she had taken everything that belonged to her. Books, laptop… even the stupid stuffed penguin she’d had since we were kids.

That was the worst day of my life.

I had no idea what to do. I couldn’t believe that my sister left me without saying goodbye. Without telling me why she couldn’t live with me anymore.

I spent the next few weeks looking for her. I went to the police station, asked my friends for help, posted online… I did everything I could to find her.

“I’m sorry, miss,” the officer said for what felt like the hundredth time. “Your sister is an adult. If she chose to leave, there’s not much we can do.”

But I couldn’t give up. Sara was more than my sister. She was my other half. My best friend. The only real family I had left.

Months went by and there was no trace of her.

At that point, I kept myself distracted with work during the day, but the nights were horrible. I cried myself to sleep in our half-empty apartment.

I was at my lowest point.

Then, one day, while I was out doing some shopping to distract myself, I saw her.

Sara. My sister.

She was walking arm-in-arm with an older man, laughing like she didn’t have a care in the world.

My heart skipped a beat.

“Sara!” I cried. “Oh my god, where have you been? Why did you leave?”

But the look she gave me… it was like I was a total stranger. Cold. Distant.

“Who are you?” she asked, her voice eerily calm. “I don’t know you.”

“What? Sara, it’s me. It’s Miley. Your sister. Your twin.”

Sara’s face remained blank. “I’m sorry, but I think you have me confused with someone else. Please leave us alone.”

The older man she was with looked concerned.

“Is everything alright?” he asked, glancing between us.

I turned to him. “Please, you have to help me. This is my sister, Sara. We grew up together. She disappeared months ago, and I’ve been looking everywhere for her.”

“Is this true?” he asked Sara.

She sighed. “Fine. Yes, it’s true. This is Miley, my twin sister.”

The man’s eyes widened.

“Twin sister? But that would mean…” He extended his hand to me. “I’m Kevin. I’m… well, I guess I’m your father.”

I stared at him as my mind struggled to process this bombshell. “Our… father? But we never knew our dad. Mom always said…”

“Maybe we should sit down,” Kevin suggested gently. “I think we all have a lot to talk about.”

I followed them to a nearby café. Sara finally met my eyes when we settled into a booth.

“I’m sorry, Miley,” she said softly. “I didn’t mean for it to happen like this.”

“What happened?” I asked. “Why did you leave? Why didn’t you tell me?”

She took a deep breath.

“Remember when I was being all secretive with my phone? I… I took one of those DNA tests. You know, the ones that tell you about your ancestry?”

I nodded, still confused.

“Well, it matched me with Kevin here,” she continued. “He’s our biological father.”

“I had no idea,” Kevin began explaining. “I took the test on a whim. All my golf buddies were doing it. And I was so shocked when Sara contacted me… I dated your mother briefly. Years ago. But she never told me she was pregnant.”

“But why keep it a secret?” I asked Sara. “Why disappear?”

Sara’s eyes filled with tears. “I… I wanted something that was just mine, for once. We’ve shared everything our whole lives, Miley. Our clothes, our friends, our tiny apartment. When I found out about Kevin, I just… I wanted to explore this connection on my own. Just for a little while.”

“And you erased me from your life?” I whispered.

“I know it was wrong,” Sara said, reaching for my hand.

“I got carried away. I convinced myself that you’d be fine without me, that you had your new job and your life… I’m so sorry, Miley.”

Kevin cleared his throat.

“I take full responsibility too,” he said. “When Sara told me about you, I should have insisted we contact you right away. I was just so excited to get to know my daughter… I didn’t think about how it might affect you.”

At that point, all I needed was some time to process everything.

What was supposed to be a trip to the mall had suddenly turned into an unexpected family reunion. I couldn’t believe I was sitting with my long-lost father and my twin sister who I thought was gone forever.

“I need some air,” I mumbled as I stood up. “I’ll be back”

I quickly left the café and took a deep breath.

A few seconds later, I felt a hand on my shoulder.

It was Sara.

“Miley,” she said softly. “I know I messed up. Big time. But you’re my sister and nothing will change that. Can you forgive me? Please?”

I looked at her for a few seconds and realized she was still the person who’d always protected me. She was my Sara, and I had to forgive her.

“On one condition,” I smiled. “No more secrets. Okay?”

“Deal,” she nodded and pulled me into a hug.

As we held each other tight, I realized our story wasn’t over.

It was just beginning… with a new chapter, a new family member, and a bond that couldn’t be broken.

At that point, we had a lot to figure out, but I knew we’d do it together. Just like we always had.
