Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis exposed truth about her marriage
Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis might have broken her inside and rocked the palace, but it exposed the biggest truth about her marriage.
Royal experts believe Princess Catherine’s cancer changed Prince William’s mind and their relationship for good.
The horrific diagnosis brought the future monarch closer to her wife. William even turned into Kate’s life saving pill amid her health struggles and family challenges.
The mother-of-there left the world in shock with her announcement about cancer in March 2024, revealing that she’s undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
The 43-year-old’s upsetting update reduced hundreds of fans and friends to tears. It also appeared to be a bombshell for William, who never stepped away from his partner until they defeated the disease.
In September 2024, Kate revealed that she was cancer-free, confirming in January 2025 that her cancer was in remission.
Former royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner noted that the couple had previously endured tabloid speculation about alleged marital difficulties. However, he told Fox News Digital that Kate and William’s relationship appears to be stronger than ever during the difficult time at the family.
“There were ongoing rumours at one time that the marriage between William and Kate may not have been as blissful as publicly portrayed,” Turner said.
Turner pointed out that Kate’s illness may have served as a powerful reminder for William of how central she is to his life and revitalised the emotional connection between the pair, who have been together for more than two decades.
“William has been known for his outbursts and Kate has found ways of calming the situation down but personally, I feel after the cancer diagnosis and the threat of losing her, the closeness was rekindled,” Turner said.
“And that is why decisions were made such as their quieter living accommodation rather than a palace to try and lead a normal family life have become their focus,” he added.
Some royal insiders and Palace aides also agreed that the two appeared more emotionally connected than before.
