King Charles expressed his admiration for his brave daughter-in-law, Kate, after learning of her battle with cancer.
A statement from Buckingham Palace reported that the king has maintained frequent communication with the Princess of Wales in recent weeks, since their time spent in the hospital together.
Charles and Queen Camilla expressed that they will continue to provide love and support to the entire family during this challenging period.
Kate shared in a video released on Friday that she had a significant surgery on January 14 for an issue that was initially thought to be non-cancerous. However, further testing revealed the presence of cancer.
The princess, who is 42 years old, shared a sincere message about being diagnosed with a “huge shock.” She and Prince William have been handling the news in private to protect their young family.
Additionally, she disclosed that she had received advice to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and is currently in the initial phases of the treatment.
Charles expressed his admiration for Catherine’s bravery in speaking out and has maintained a strong connection with his daughter-in-law, even after their recent hospital visit.
The King is currently undergoing his own treatment for cancer having revealed his own shock diagnosis in January – at the same time it emerged Kate was in hospital after her abdominal surgery.
Charles has taken a step back from his royal responsibilities, while Camilla represented the couple at a recent event in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Despite his age, the King has remained productive by meeting with four British veterans of the Korean War before attending a palace reception to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the conflict last week.
