Prince William Leaves Kate Middleton Overnight in First Trip Since Cancer Diagnosis

Prince William has left Kate Middleton overnight. It’s his first trip of this kind in months, and with good reason.

During recent months, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s lives have been “hell,” as some reports have put it.

Kate’s cancer battle is the most significant factor. But it is not the only issue that the Prince and Princess of Wales are facing.

Even the monarchy’s harshest critics can understand why William has avoided straying far from home. This is his first overnight trip since Kate’s diagnosis.

Kate Middleton received her cancer diagnosis in January

On Thursday, May 9, Prince William took a major step. He embarked upon his first overnight trip away from the Princess of Wales following her cancer diagnosis, let alone her cancer reveal to the public.

According to a report by Fox News, William feels “very relaxed” about the decision. Despite the circumstances.

Part of that may be the purpose of his trip. He traveled to the Duchy of Cornwall (an estate that belongs to him as crown prince) to work on a housing project.

Ian Pelham is a royal expert, and he spoke about Prince William’s housing project that took him away from Kate Middleton (for a short time).

“Homeward, the charity for homeless people, is very much at the heart of what William wishes to drive forward,” Pelham emphasized. “And, in reality, is only a short flight away if Kate had any sudden issues.”

The expert explained: “As the Prince of Wales, he also inherits the Duchy of Cornwall, where he is staying overnight in the county.”

Though William takes after Charles in some unfortunate ways, he also walks in his late mother’s footsteps

“I know through contacts close to William working with him on the project that he works tirelessly every day to make the rough sleepers project work,” Pelham continued.

Notably, “rough sleepers” is a very British euphemism for people experiencing homelessness. The euphemism understates the predicament, as if they were insomniacs, but it could be much worse.

“There are several sites around the country which he hopes will be developed to offer rough sleepers support,” Pelham added.

“Obviously, William feels that Kate is on the mend now,” Pelham then asserted.

“And,” the royal expert then reported, “he has been very relaxed leaving London and seen in Cornwall.”

Pelham was quick to pivot to discussing the house-building project. He teased that William is likely to make further visits, and to involve “one of the richest men in Britain.”

Leaving Kate overnight is a big step

With the exception of the documented, grim phenomenon of men who abandon their wives during cancer treatments, most loving partners are reluctant to leave a cancer patient’s side. They might need you. Or things could very rapidly become worse.

But Prince William knows that Kate Middleton has first-rate medical care. He also has a lot of responsibilities. British taxpayers contribute tens of millions to his family every year and afford them vast legal and political privileges. Giving back is part of that social contract.

And given King Charles’ cancer battle, it’s possible that William’s role within the family may expand sooner than anyone had imagined.

King Charles Won’t Make Time For Prince Harry During UK Visit

Prince Harry won’t be visiting with his ailing father King Charles on his trip to the UK this week.

And not because he doesn’t want to!

Apparently, the King is too busy to make time for his youngest son.

…Awkward!

Prince Harry Won’t See Dad King Charles in London Due to Monarch’s ‘Full’ Schedule

When King Charles announced he was battling cancer in February, Harry was on a plane from America to visit his father within the week. Their visit was brief, with Harry staying a mere 24 hours in the country before leaving.

On May 8, Harry returns to his country of birth to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

It seemed the perfect opportunity to reconnect with his royal family, as he has no see his father since his last trip and has not traveled to the U.K. since Kate Middleton annonced her own cancer diagnosis.

However, it sounds like no one has time for Harry right now – literally.

“In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program,” a spokesperson for Harry told The Post ahead of Harry’s visit.

The King’s schedule includes his weekly audience with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as well as the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season.

Prince Harry Snubbed By Father on Solo U.K. Trip

It’s really a shame to hear Harry won’t be seeing his dad, given the state of his health. Harry could also have used some family time, since he made the trek to London alone.

Meghan Markle and their two young kids, Archie and Lilibeth, stayed behind in California.

Still, Harry is trying to save face.

“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

As for Harry’s commitments, he’s expected to give a reading at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to mark the inaugural Invictus Games took place a decade earlier. He will stay, as he did before, in a hotel, rather than a royal residence.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are ‘going through hell’

Prince Harry will also not be seeing his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton on this trip. He has not seen his only brother and that side of the family for over a year, as tensions remain high between the two families.

Besides, it’s clear that Kate and William are going through it right now and extra drama is kind of the last thing they need.

A few days before Harry’s arrival, designer Amaia Arrieta made some seemingly offhand remarks about the royal couple while speaking to the Daily Telegraph.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment,” Arrieta expressed. “I think they are going through hell.”

Arrieta added: “I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

That paints a bleak picture of William and Kate

Most infer that Arrieta is referring to the state of the Prince and Princess of Wales as the latter undergoes cancer treatments.

In January, surgeons uncovered signs of cancer in Kate’s abdomen. Despite her status as a taxpayer-funded national symbol, many details of her diagnosis remain secret. For months, the royal firm concealed her cancer altogether, claiming that she was simply recovering from surgery.

Now, thanks in part to a colossal PR blunder by the royals, everyone knows about Kate’s condition. Like her father-in-law, she has cancer but aims to make a full recovery. We hope that she does.

Some have interpreted Arrieta’s statement as a reference to William and Kate experiencing marital problems.

From the Prince of Pegging’s alleged affairs to the alarming statistics on men leaving cancer-stricken wives, there has been a lot of speculation over the state of their royal marriage.

It is possible that Kate’s cancer diagnosis has brought other marital issues to the forefront, or at least coincided with them. Occam’s Razor, however, suggests that Arrieta is referring to Kate’s cancer crisis. Surely, that is enough “hell” for anyone.

Will the royal firm be angry with Amaia Arrieta?

In general, Kensington Palace likes to keep a strict lid on any comments that anyone with access to the royal family might make to the press. Usually, that means that negative stories about Meghan Markle are fair game, but everything else must remain under seal.

However, historically, the royal family has shown tremendous latitude towards the wardrobe department. There were times when Angela Kelly was effectively Queen Elizabeth’s personal gatekeeper.

One assumes that Arrieta’s relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales will endure.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are in “Hell,” Close Friend Claims

Earlier this week, Prince William stopped by James’ Place in Newscastle, a male suicide prevent center, and was asked at one point about his wife and kids.

The question came in the wake of Kate Middleton having been diagnosed with cancer.

“We’re all doing well, thank you,” the Prince of Wales replied. “We’re all doing well.”

Now, however, we have a reason to think this may not be the case.

Speaking to The Telegraph a couple days ago, Amaia Arrieta — the designer behind many of the looks worn by the spouses’ kids through the years — said something that has gone extremely viral.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell,” the fashion maven said of Kate and William, adding:

“I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

This revealing quote has left many observers of the Royal Family quite concerned.

Amaia went on to say how honored she feels to have helped dress the royals… ever since Prince George, 10, wore her brand’s corduroy shorts in a 2014 Christmas photo.

More recently, Princess Charlotte was pictured in the designer’s checked skirt on Mother’s Day — yes, we’re talking about the photo that sparked a certain editing controversy.

“Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” the designer told the Telegraph.

“They have put the traditional and classic way of dressing children on the map.”

That’s great and all, but focus is now entirely on how Middleton is feeling these days.

In late March, Middleton appeared in a video to deliver a self-written speech that confirmed her unfortunate cancer news.

Post-operative tests from her “planned abdominal surgery” in January revealed that “cancer had been present,” prompting her to start chemotherapy, she explained at the time.

Referring to the news a “huge shock,” Middleton said that she and her husband “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 am going to be okay.”

We don’t know a lot about Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment because she and her loved ones have said very little about the star’s health over the last several weeks.

But Kate’s diagnosis came weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles, announced on February 5 that he was also undergoing treatment for cancer.

There’s a lot going on these days throughout the United Kingdom.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement back then.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.”

Is Prince William a bit jealous of Prince Harry’s freedom?

That’s the claim being made in a surprising new report from Us Weekly.

According to the outlet, the ongoing feud between William and Harry is still simmering.

There were hopes that the brothers might set aside their differences amid the current slate of crises.

As you’ve likely heard by now, William’s wife, Kate Middleton, is battling cancer.

And confirmation of Kate’s condition came on the heels of the reports that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.

Both ailing royals have chosen not to reveal any specifics with regard to the type or severity of their cancer.

Harry will travel to the UK this month for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, a multi-sport athletic competition for wounded veterans.

And there was talk that Harry might take the opportunity to reconcile with his estranged brother.

But it seems that the reason for the trip is a sensitive subject for William.

Harry helped found the Invictus Games back in 2014.

The event is now considered the single most successful royal humanitarian project of the 21st century.

So perhaps it’s not surprising that one insider thinks William is a bit jealous.

“William is a bit envious of [his brother’s] freedoms,” the source told Us.

Journalist and royal expert Ed Owens echoed those remarks in a recent interview. He suggested that William might like to have such an impressive accomplishment on his resumé.

“Harry has done remarkable things,” Owens told Us. He added that Invictus “now has international presences. And I think that international stage is something both brothers are clearly vying for.

“That international limelight really sets Harry’s work apart from other members of the royal family,” says Owens.

William and Harry: Battling For the International Spotlight?

Journalist Robert Jobson agrees, telling ABC News that William seems to be a bit jealous of his brother’s success.

“I think there was a degree of jealousy about how well it had gone,” Jobson said in February.

“I do think that William was surprised how much this had been such a success. And how much money was being thrown into it and how many governments were getting involved.”

Obviously, it’s unlikely that William will ever publicly admit to being envious of his younger brother’s success.

But whatever the cause, those who were hoping for a brotherly reunion next week will likely be disappointed.

How Kate Middleton Celebrated Wedding Anniversary With William Amid Cancer Battle

Kate Middleton and Prince William just marked their 13th wedding anniversary.

The Princess of Wales, of course, has been keeping a lower profile in recent weeks as she continues to deal with health issues.

After removing herself from the public eye at the start of this year, Kate recently revealed that she’s been battling cancer.

After sharing her diagnosis, Kate continued to keep a much lower profile than usual.

Earlier this month, the royals celebrated Prince Louis’ sixth birthday behind closed doors.

Now, it looks as though Kate and William took a similarly low-key approach to celebrating their anniversary.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Celebrate 13th Anniversary Privately

William and Kate acknowledged the occasion publicly by tweeting a never-before-seen photo from their wedding day.

Other than that, however, the Waleses celebrated privately.

According to to Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, the couple prefers to mark such occasions “very privately and quietly,” even in less troubled times.

Burrell says that William prefers to treat Kate “as his wife, not as a princess,” and he’s kept up the “family tradition” of presenting the princess with a piece of custom jewelry on each anniversary.

“Both his father and his grandfather fell into that tradition, they both had jewelry made for their wives on a special occasion,” the retired butler tells The New York Post.

Burrell says that Will and Kate maintain a minimal household staff, and he likely cooked for her on their anniversary.

William Cooks For Kate, Says Butler

“They don’t have a full-time cook. They borrow staff from the King whenever they have dinner parties or something formal,” Burrell reveals.

“Privately, they will muddle through themselves. William is quite capable of rustling up a decent meal in candlelight for him and Kate,” he adds.

Burrell notes that William and Kate celebrate their relationship frequently.

“[William and Kate] do have date nights outside their anniversary. They take private time out for just the two of them, they will just have a nice romantic candlelit dinner for themselves,” says Burrell.

The butler claims that these private celebrations are an important part of William and Kate’s marriage.

“They make a special effort to do that because their life is such a public one. They treasure the private moments,” he tells the Post.

Kate’s Battle Continues

Kate has chosen to keep the details regarding her health issues to herself.

That’s her right, of course, and we hope that the press and public will continue to respect her privacy.

It might be quite some time before we receive any conclusive updates regarding Kate’s condition, but we continue to wish her well, and we’re happy to hear that she’s receiving the support she needs.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Treatment: Everything We Know About Her Courageous Battle

In recent weeks, there’s been a great deal of speculation surrounding Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment.

Kate revealed her diagnosis back in March, but we still have very few details about her condition.

In fact, Kate seems to be taking a cue from her father-in-law, King Charles, who is also battling cancer.

Both royals have thus far declined to offer any specifics with regard to the type or severity of their respective cancers.

Fortunately, while little is known about the specifics of Kate’s condition, the updates we’ve heard thus far have indicated that the Princess of Wales is well on her way to a full recovery.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Treatment: What Do We Know?

Again, the royals are being quite secretive about Kate’s illness and her course of treatment, so there’s very little that we can report with any certainty.

But some reliable information has been revealed, including a new report from Hello! magazine, which claims that the crisis has only strengthened Kate’s relationship with her husband, Prince William.

“It has been tough on both of them, not least as parents, as they try to reconcile their children’s mental wellbeing and the seriousness of her diagnosis,” journalist and royal expert Robert Jobson tells the outlet.

“But there is no question that William has been Catherine’s rock. He is the constant in her life, and she is at the heart of his.”

Jobson notes that William and Kate’s 13th wedding anniversary is coming up next week.

And he believes that this one will be especially meaningful as a result of everything that the Prince and Princess of Wales have endured in the past year.

“Their forthcoming anniversary is a testament to not only their love, but also their unity. I’m sure they’ll acknowledge their journey, knowing that their strength lies in being together,” Jobson said.

“The ups and downs they have weathered together have cemented their bond, which is now unshakeable.”

Kate Puts on a Brave Face For Her Kids

Other reports have indicated that Kate’s main focus these days is maintaining a sense of normalcy for her kids.

“Catherine has done her best to stick to a routine for the sake of the children,” Jobson said. “She and William know the importance of taking each day as it comes.”

Earlier this week, Kate hosted a private birthday party for Prince Louis, who turned six.

Insiders said that it was not as lavish an affair as the Waleses usually host for their kids’ birthdays.

But the fact that Kate Middleton is undergoing cancer treatment and still throwing birthday parties for her kids should be enough to put her in the running for Mother of the Year.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Though his mother and grandfather are both undergoing cancer treatments, George and his father are taking time for themselves.

Prince William and Prince George share a love of soccer

On Thursday, April 11, Prince WIlliam and his 10-year-old son, Prince George viewed a soccer gem in Birmingham, England. The royal duo viwed the Ashton Villa game from a private suite.

This was the first public appearance of the two since Kate Middleton’s grim cancer announcement in March.

Prince William’s wife and Prince George’s mother is undergoing chemotherapy treatments to combat the cancer.

On Friday, March 22, Kate Middleton shared her cancer bombshell following months of extended seclusion and a PR catastrophe.

First, the official story was that Kate was spending months in isolation while recovering from an abdominal surgery. That was a partial truth.

Then, William and Kate’s shared Instagram account posted a blatantly phony family photo. Kate took to social media to take responsibility for the photoshop fail, which seemed absurd and only deepened suspicions that the royal family was hiding something. And, of course, they were.

Prince William has been keeping out of the public eye

Even before Kate shared her unfortunate health news, her husband’s public appearances were different. Abruptly canceling on events while his father undergoes his own cancer treatments seemed to be a strong indicator that something was wrong.

William had not appeared at a royal engagement since March 19, when he participated in The Royal Foundation’s Homewards program.

Under the circumstances, this is more than understandable. Though he is one of Britain’s taxpayer-funded mascots, two of his closest family in the world are locked in health battles.

Princess Kate has not publicly disclosed what form of cancer she has. The same is true of King Charles, though at least one report claims that the monarch has pancreatic cancer and a grim prognosis.

Apparently, Kate’s surgery in January uncovered signs that “cancer had been present.” She began chemotherapy treatments.

In her video, Kate noted: “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 am going to be okay.”

The entire royal family is going through this

Though Kate and Charles have cancer and are of course experiencing this the most acutely, all of their loved ones feel for them.

It is good that Princes George and William and spend father-son time enjoying something that they love.

Normal routines and healthy family bonding remains important — perhaps more important than ever — during a crisis.

Meghan Markle Blocking Prince Harry, Prince William Reunion, Insider Claims

Is Meghan Markle blocking the path to a reunion between Prince Harry and Prince William?

That’s the claim being made by a prominent UK journalist and royal expert, who claims that the brothers would already be in the process of burying the hatchet, were it not for Meghan’s interference.

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Kate Middleton and King Charles are both battling cancer.

Initially, there were hopes that the situation would lead William and Harry to set aside their differences and come together for the good of the family.

Now, however, it looks as though Charles’ sons will continue living separate lives.

And Richard Fitzwilliams maintains that it’s all Meghan’s fault.

Meghan Markle Is Blocking a William, Harry Reunion, Expert Claims

“The problem is it’s a very deep rift,” Fitzwilliams — one of the UK’s foremost royal journalists — tells The Sun.

“Meghan has the say. There’s no doubt Harry wishes to convey he is a very devoted family man and will put them above everything else, just like William.

Fitzwilliams notes that Harry will be traveling to the UK in May to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

But be doubts that the occasion will be used for healing deep family rifts.

“Harry will be here at some point in May, and maybe before then to see King Charles,” said Fitzwilliams.

“The problem is the King and Princess of Wales have their diagnoses, and no one knows the state of what precisely William and Harry have said to each other when they spoke briefly. The rumors have been that it wasn’t an in-depth talk.

“Meghan isn’t obviously keen on visiting Britain because she is not popular here. Nor is Harry, but it’s different for him.”

Fitzwilliams suspects that Meghan will not make the trip, and he predicts that she’ll use Harry’s failed police protection lawsuit as an “excuse” for staying home.

“She has the perfect excuse not to come over because Harry has lost his security case.” he says.

“If she comes there will be a huge amount of adverse publicity because of the way she has acted for the past four years.”

And now that Harry and Meghan have been evicted from Frogmore Cottage, they would be forced to arrange their own security detail as well as their own lodging.

“Meghan has every right to come but they have been thrown out of Frogmore and for a good reason,” he says.

Spare and the interviews around it were horrible, frankly.”

Fitzwilliams doesn’t make a very strong case that the bad blood is all Meghan’s fault — in fact, his argument underscores the fact that this family has been torn apart by numerous rifts only some of which involve the Duchess of Sussex.

But he’s almost certainly correct in his prediction that the British and American factions of the royal family will not be mending fences anytime soon.

Is Prince William ‘Unfit’ to Rule? King Charles Reportedly Concerned Amid …

Amid the greatest crisis the royal family has faced in recent memory, there are concerns that after less than two years as Prince of Wales, Prince William may be unfit to take the throne.

And it seems that those concerns not just coming from fearful outsiders.

According to a new report from In Touch, King Charles himself is worried that William might not be ready to step into the role of monarch.

Charles, of course, spent decades preparing for his ascension, but William sadly may not have the same luxury.

At 76, Charles is battling cancer, and though the severity of his condition and the organs affected remain unclear (more on that later), insiders say the king is bracing himself for the worst.

That means preparing William to serve as monarch, a role Charles only stepped into in 2022.

Obviously, William has been in the spotlight his entire life, but the transition from Prince of Wales to King of the United Kingdom is a tricky one to navigate, and concerns about the heir’s qualifications are said to be exacerbating the current strain on the royals.

Prince William: Unfit to Rule, Or Simply Unprepared?

“Charles knows the pressures of being the monarch,” a source tells In Touch.

“And he just isn’t sure William is ready to take his place. It seems premature, and there could be consequences.”

One issue, it seems, is a perceived lack of maturity on William’s part.

Yes, Prince Harry might have a reputation as the family’s resident partier, but it seems that William still enjoys an occasional pint or four at his local.

According to In Touch, William is known to sip a few beers after work, followed by “several glasses of wine with dinner,” leading him to “wake up crabby.”

“Charles has counseled him that there can be no more carefree outings to the pub anymore,” the insider claims.

There are also concerns about William’s temper, especially after a passage in Harry’s memoir detailed a physical altercation between the brothers.

“Word is, the altercation Harry mentioned in Spare wasn’t the first to occur,” a second source claims.

“There was a growing rivalry between William and Harry ever since they were little and sometimes things got heated between them.”

All of this has led to great concern, as William has more on his plate these days than ever before.

In addition to the fact that William’s wife, Kate Middleton, is battling cancer, there have been rumors that the king’s condition is far worse than the public has been led to believe.

In fact, one insider alleges that Charles has pancreatic cancer and may not be long for this world.

King Charles Prognosis: Is It a Worst-Case Scenario?

“He has pancreatic cancer and has a maximum of two years to live,” the source tells In Touch.

The source adds that Charles “is willing to try any treatment to extend his life by a few years, at least,” but he’s well aware that when it comes to preparing William for the throne, time is of the essence.

“William does a very good job putting on a smile and calm face in public, but it does bother him,” the insider adds.

Prince William-Prince Harry Feud Persists Amid Kate Middleton Cancer Battle: Report

The feud between Prince William and Prince Harry has been raging for years, and it seems that not even a succession of family crises can convince the warring brothers to set aside their differences.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Kate Middleton revealed last week that she’s battling cancer.

The announcement came on the heels of weeks of speculation and controversy, as Kate disappeared from public life without the royals giving any reason for her absence.

Kate’s diagnosis follows news that King Charles is also fighting cancer, and there were hopes among royal watchers that the situation might lead William and Harry to bury the hatchet.

Harry and Meghan Reach Out

Harry and wife Meghan Markle issued a statement expressing support for Kate at this difficult time.

But rumors that the couple reached out and made peace with the Princess of Wales during her recovery appear to be inaccurate.

However, a new report from The Independent indicates that Harry and Meghan did reach out to William following Kate’s announcement.

Royal expert Tom Quinn tells the outlet that the Sussexes contacted William after learning of Kate’s diagnosis,, but neither party suggested that they “should make up and let bygones be bygones.”

Quinn added that it was “hardly the kind of warm, informal response” that might bode well for a future reconciliation.

Shockingly, it seems that Harry and Meghan found out about Kate’s diagnosis the same way the rest of us did — from the news.

According to insiders, no one from the family reached out to the Sussexes ahead of Kate’s announcement last week.

Journalist Richard Fitzwilliams tells The Sun that he believes Harry and Meghan were not informed due to “endless problems” they’ve caused Charles and company in recent years.

“The reason, of course, is that for some four years, they’ve caused endless problems for the Royal Family, and so they can’t be trusted,” he said.

Prince William vs. Prince Harry Feud: Where Do They Stand Now?

So it seems that hopes of a William and Harry reconciliation are officially DOA.

The brothers have been united by traumatic episodes in the past, and many were hopeful that the challenges faced by their family would lead the princes to refocus on the importance of family.

Sadly, Harry and William appear to have made up their minds about the future of their relationship.

Andy Cohen Disses Prince William With SCATHING King Charles Comparison Over Alleged …

It isn’t every day that Andy Cohen disses someone as high-profile as Prince William. But William is not the most popular — or sympathetic — royal at the moment.

On Friday, March 22, Kate Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis after months of eerie silence and somewhat justified conspiracy theories regarding her disappearance.

The public didn’t buy the official story about her recovery from surgery. That suspicion was spot-on. Similarly, a lot of the public aren’t buying the idea that Prince William has been entirely faithful.

Andy Cohen doesn’t sound like he’s bought those claims, either. He’s put the Prince of Wales on blast, with a blistering comparison to King Charles.

Andy Cohen has some thoughts about Prince William

During the Friday, March 22 episode of his Daddy Diaries podcast, Andy Cohen addressed the longstanding infidelity rumors about Prince William.

The salacious claims earned William nicknames like the “Prince of Pegging” and simply “Peggy,” referring to an alleged sex act that he preferred with Marchioness Rose Hanbury.

Years after the story broke, Hanbury has denied the alleged affair. Critics of the secretive and bizarrely influential royal firm have debated how meaningful any official statements on this story could possibly be.

Andy Cohen specifically delved into speculation that Kate’s absence from public life could have some connection to William’s alleged infidelity.

“It all seems to come back to this lady Rose who he’s had an affair — who he allegedly had an affair with,” Cohen said, rephrasing to more legally safe phrasing as he spoke. Smart!

Andy then pointed to the timeline of William and Kate’s romance before they ultimately married.

Prince William wasn’t always in a rush to marry Kate Middleton

“Don’t forget he broke it off with [Middleton] after they dated for years and sowed his wild oats for a time and then went back to her,” Andy recalled.

There is truth to that: Prince William and Princess Kate did break up in both 2004 and in 2007, reconciling both times.

Some fan theories suggest that William resolved to marry Kate and “lock it down,” as it were, once he realized that his hairline was receding. That is, perhaps, a mean-spirited theory.

Andy Cohen doubled down on shadiness with a reference to King Charles famously cheating on William’s mother, Princess Diana. The other woman in that relationship is now his wife, Queen Camilla.

The Bravo exec called William “his father’s [son].” That line can, on rare occasions, be a compliment. Certainly not in this instance.

Andy is not the first to imply that William has followed his father’s footsteps with the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. Even if most of us try to avoid pronouncing that particular name (it’s pronounced “Chumlee,” which is infuriating) at all costs.

Andy Cohen’s diss of Prince William came out before Kate Middleton shared her news

In a video that took many in the public by surprise, the Princess of Wales revealed on Friday, March 22, that she had cancer.

According to her claims in the video, the abdominal surgery in January and subsequent tests had detected the presence of cancer.

So she, like her father-in-law, King Charles, has cancer and has been undergoing treatments for it.

Of course, Kate’s revelation comes after months of speculation, concern, and bungled PR opportunities.

It’s clear that, initially, the royal firm intended to withhold this information from the public. The family did so for months, hoping that a blatantly phony family portrait would silence questions. It didn’t.

With that in mind, people are less willing to believe anything coming out of that family. It wasn’t so long ago that (allegedly) Kate herself was claiming to have caused the photoshop fail. The royal firm will say what it wants to the public, and nothing else.

Prince William Missed Godfather’s Memorial Due to Kate’s Cancer Diagnosis

In February, Prince William bailed on a memorial service for his own godfather the morning of the service. Kensington Palace only told the public then that it was for “a personal matter.”

We now know much more; he skipped the service, to be there for his wife, Kate Middleton.

Why Prince William Missed His Godfather’s Memorial

Given that his father, Prince Charles just announced his cancer diagnosis and that William’s wife, Kate Middleton, was still recovering from undisclosed abdominal surgery, people were concerned when William did not show up for the service.

William was meant to oversee the memorial of the late King Constantine of Greece, who died in January 2023. The royal was William’s godfather.

In light of learning that his wife Kate Middleton is also battling cancer, we’ve also been clued in a bit on the timeline of things.

It seems that Prince William skipped the February memorial because of his wife’s stunning cancer diagnosis.

Whether he had just learned of the diagnosis just before or days before, it is unclear from the The Post reporting.

However, Royal insiders made it clear that Kate’s then-undisclosed medical crisis was the reason from the abrupt cancellation.

Kate’s Cancer Announcement

“Unfortunately, The Prince of Wales is no longer able to attend the King Constantine Memorial Service this morning due to a personal matter,” the palace told NBC News in a statement Feb. 27.

With Prince William unavailable and King Charles in Cyprus for another event, the ball was punted to Queen Camila to be the face of the royal family.

At the time, concerned for William’s family, the immediate follow up was to inquire about the health of Kate Middleton, who was admitted to the hospital last month for a planned, yet surprise surgery to the public.

The palace would not provide any further details why William missed the event, but added that Catherine, Princess of Wales, “continues to be doing well”.

A cover for the sad news that Kate was actually dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” Kate said in a video message on March

“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.”

“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 added.

Camilla Steps In

With all the other royals occupied, Queen Camilla led the charge at the royal event.

King Charles III is still receiving treatment for his cancer diagnosis, while Prince Harry – well, as much as he might like to be back in with the royal family, that’s not bound to happen overnight.

But Camilla did have backup!

Other British royal family members at the service included Prince Andrew, his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, and their daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, as well as Princess Anne and Zara and Mike Tindall.

Here’s hoping everything is okay in the Kensington home!

Kate Middleton to FINALLY Reveal All? Explain Health Concerns to the Public?!?

We’re one week removed from PhotoshopGate.

As pretty much every human being walking the face of the planet knows at this point, Kate Middleton underwent abdominal surgery on January 16. 

At the time, Kensington Palace released a vague statement that said the procedure was “not cancerous” in nature, but which also said Middleton would be sidelines from her Royal duties until after Easter.

Then, she disappeared. And then, one week ago, she released a photo that she confessed had been edited.

With Middleton and company refusing to release the original version of this photo, and with the Princess of Wales still seemingly hiding out somewhere in England, conspiracy theories abound.

No one has a clue what’s going on.

Is Kate Middleton actually on a road to recovery? Was this surgery very serious in nature?

Is Kate Middleton dead? Is she considering a divorce because Prince William has been cheating on her with Rose Hanury?

So many questions. Truly, no answers.

But perhaps we’ll have some soon?

This weekend, The Times of London has has published an article that claims Kate and Middleton are extremely unhappy with this entire situation.

The outlet references “close friends” and reports that the world famous spouses are “shaken and devastated” by the questions raised over the state of their marriage – there was also no wedding ring on Kate’s finger in the controversial photo – and moreover… that Middleton may speak out about her health at public engagements next month.

It seems like she would almost have no choice but to do so, considering the fervor this apparent medical crisis has caused around the globe.

“They are at their most open when out interacting with members of the public and I can see a world in which the princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements,” an insider told The Times over the weekend.

“If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it.

“They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready. I would expect that to be her instinct and it will be her call.

“They’re not going to be rushed.”

Maybe not.

But it’s worth looking at the calendar for a moment.

Easter arrives early this year, which means observers will expect to see Middleton back in action as soon as we hit April…. based on what the Palace previously said about her recovery process.

On April 23, meanwhile, son Louis turns six years old and the family has released a family portrait in honor of this occasion every year of his life to date.

Can you imagine how closely this next one will be analyzed if, indeed, Kate and William choose to do so again?

Finally, in maybe the most glaring sign of how concerned everyone out there is about Kate Middleton, author Tom Quinn recently told the Mirror that even Meghan Markle has tried to reach out.

Yes, even Kate’s most heated rival wants to make sure everything is okay.

“She is genuinely worried about Kate’s health,” Quinn says.

Aren’t we all at this point?

Rose Hanbury, Her Daughter, & The Rumors Prince William Is The Kid’s Father

Lady Rose Hanbury’s daughter is receiving a good deal of scrutiny from the UK tabloid media.

And some outlets are convinced that the eight-year-old might be the key to understanding Kate Middleton’s recent absence from public life.

Yes, as you’ve likely heard by now, the Princess of Wales has been keeping a very low profile in recent months.

Her last official public appearance was on Christmas Day, and the fact that Kate underwent an unspecified abdominal surgery in January has led some observers to conclude that she’s struggling with a serious health issue.

But that’s not the only theory as to why Kate has been avoiding the spotlight in 2024.

Some believe that Kate’s marriage is coming to an end, and she no longer feels obligated to keep up with the demands of public life.

The reason for this alleged marital turmoil? Well, in order to fully explain, we need to rewind a few years.

Who Is Lady Rose Hanbury and the Rumors of a Royal Affair

Back in 2019, William was accused of carrying on an affair with Lady Rose Hanbury.

A longtime friend of Kate’s who lives just a few miles from Cambridges’ country home, Anmer Hall, Rose married David Rocksavage, Marquess of Cholmondeley in 2009 when she was pregnant with the couple’s twins.

But many believe the marriage that made her a noblewoman did not stop Rose from pursuing a relationship with the future king.

Rumors of the affair were given credence by journalists such as Alex Tiffin, who reported that there was real reason to believe that William had cheated on Kate with Rose.

The allegations re-entered the mainstream in December of 2021, when Tiffin posted a series of very bold tweets.

“Multiple UK news outlets have had evidence of the affair and his other comments, some even spoke of them on this site before legal threats saw them delete,” he wrote.

“A Royal shouldn’t be afforded extra protection from scrutiny than any other public figure. Journalists report, not handle,” Tiffin added.

From there, Tiffin dared William to pursue legal action, noting that he would be happy to discuss the matter under oath.

The royals have not yet filed suit against Tiffin or anyone else who accused William of having an affair. As far as we can tell, the royal family has never addressed the rumors, then or now, as they’ve resurfaced during the scandal around Kate.

And now, the royals are under closer watch than ever, as mainstream outlets all over the world have started focusing on the allegations involving William and Rose.

The scandal has even made its way into this week’s late-night talk shows, with Stephen Colbert addressing the reports in his monologue on Tuesday night.

Referring to 2019 claims that William “laughed off” the allegation, “saying there was nothing to it,” Colbert joked:

“Always a good response when your wife accuses you of cheating.”

Colbert is one of the kinder, gentler late-night hosts, and you can be certain that comics on both sides of the pond will be roasting William in far more brutal fashion in the weeks to come.

The Truth About Rose Hanbury’s Daughter’s Father

In addition to her twin sons, Rose also has an eight-year-old daughter, whose father is David Cholmondeley.

Unless you ask the Internet, which is so thirsty for conspiracy theories, they’ve convinced themselves that the girl is the illegitimate daughter of the future king of England.

“The biggest scandal is probably not the affair but a love child,” wrote one Twitter user.

To be very, VERY clear: these claims are unfounded and are currently just part of the speculative rhetoric running rampant right now.

The palace and Prince William, not Lady Rose and her family, have not made any statement about the affair, nor given any indication that any of her children have a different father.

Chock this up to more spinning tales as people attempt to learn the truth about where is Kate Middleton!

Prince William Breaks Silence, Slams Conspiracy Theories About Kate Middleton’s …

In a surprising and uncharacteristic move, Prince William has slammed the widespread conspiracy theories regarding his wife’s health.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Kate Middleton underwent an unspecified abdominal surgery in late January.

Kate has seldom been seen in the weeks since, a situation that’s prompted speculation that her condition is more serious than the royals are letting on.

In keeping with decades of royal tradition, William initially refused to even acknowledge the rumors and the demands for information that have been circulating online.

This week, however, he decided to address the matter publicly.

Of course, William is still a royal, so he allowed a spokesperson to break his silence for him.

Prince William Slams Theories Regarding Kate Middleton’s Health

“His focus is on his work and not on social media,” a rep for William said this week in a statement that was clearly meant to be the Prince of Wales’ final word on the matter.

Reps for William have explained that the royals consider Kate’s recovery a private matter and will only update the public if the event of a “significant” development.

“Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates,” a spokesperson tells Page Six.

“That guidance stands,” the statement concludes.

Needless to say, royal watchers were hopeful that William’s first official statement on the topic of his wife’s health would contain a bit more information.

What’s Really Going on With Kate?

Earlier this week, Kate was spotted in public for the first time in over a month.

A grainy paparazzi pic shows the Princess of Wales offering a half smile while riding in the passenger seat of a car driven by her mother.

Like William’s statement, it did little to dispel the rumors that palace officials are concealing some worrisome news about Kate’s condition.

Our hope is that Kate underwent a routine procedure and that her recovery is going according to plan.

Kate is entitled to her privacy, of course, but the refusal of the royal family to offer specifics is cause for concern.

And the rumors and speculation will likely continue until William or someone else with firsthand knowledge of the situation offers a more detailed explanation of what’s going on.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Prince William Does NOT Want Harry Back as A Royal While Dad Battles Cancer: Report

Prince William doesn’t want Prince Harry anywhere near the Royal firm.

Even last year, we heard ugly whispers about Prince William wanting to exclude Harry from family events — even holidays.

King Charles’ cancer diagnosis has not, it seems, changed his attitude towards his independent-minded brother.

Now, a royal expert explains that William believes that blocking Harry from the family will somehow “protect” his wife.

Why is Prince William icing out Prince Harry?

Royal expert Helena Chard spoke to Fox News recently about Prince William’s beef with Harry.

“Prince William has his own private turmoil,” Chard explained. “He knows his brother well and certainly won’t allow him to breeze back into the family as he doesn’t trust him.”

Apparently, this means working to (preemptively) block Harry from any kind of return to the royal fold.

Last week, Prince Harry’s Good Morning America interview reportedly infuriated the royals. There are, suffice it to say, control issues at work.

At the time, Harry sounded optimistic about a “reunifying effect” with his family. Some members of the royal family have treated him as a black sheep for choosing to live on his own terms, and for (gasp!) speaking and publishing a memoir about his own life.

“Prince William is also hugely protective of [his wife] Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and will not let anything interfere with her recuperation,” Chard warned.

Are Prince Harry and William even still on speaking terms?

At present, the public doesn’t believe that the brothers are speaking. Harry took a return trip to the UK to visit King Charles just a few weeks ago, and there is no indication that the princes saw each other.

Despite everything that the royal firm has put Harry and his wife through, Harry is willing to help during his father’s health crisis. That would include helping with royal duties in some capacity, if that’s what they need.

It’s unlikely that the family will take Harry up on this generous offer … because William reportedly would never allow it.

“There’s one huge obstacle in Harry’s way, and that’s Prince William,” another royal expert, Kinsey Schofield, shared to the same outlet.

“Harry will not be allowed to return in any capacity,” Schofield cautioned, “if Prince William has any influence over the situation.”

Schofield then added that William apparently believes “that Harry and Meghan don’t properly consider the consequences and aren’t trustworthy. They are a liability to the family.”

Ultimately, that decision may remain up to King Charles, not to his son and heir. However, though Charles and Harry have met and spoken, there are no indications that Charles will ask Harry back to help shoulder any royal burdens.

And it’s not just about Harry. Reportedly, Charles does not plan to delegate many royal duties while he continues his cancer treatments.

Charles would like to mend fences with Harry. But that doesn’t mean that he needs Harry to fill in. William, meanwhile, seems to have a more hostile attitude.

Prince Harry’s Hurtful ‘GMA’ Interview Infuriates Royals, Plus William’s …

When Prince Harry visited London following the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, he did not spend any time visiting with his estranged brother, Prince William.

Now, a source close to the situation says that the decision not to meet up was William’s, not Harry’s.

And that choice was not made as a result of a busy schedule, the insider explains.

Rather, it seems that William made it clear that he had no desire to see Harry, as he has yet to forgive his brother for public statements he’s made about the royal family.

Prince William vs. Prince Harry: The Feud Continues

“William is in no rush to spend time with Harry,” says the insider.

“The brutal bottom line is that he could easily have seen him but declined because he feels it’s too little, too late.”

William is reportedly angry about Harry’s memoir, as well as statements the Duke of Sussex made while promoting the book.

Harry was keen to keep the focus on his relationship with his father, and he has yet to publicly comment on the brevity of the trip — he was in the UK for just over 24 hours — or the fact that he did not visit with William.

“Harry was absolutely devastated to learn the cancer news,” says the insider.

“Despite their estrangement, Harry’s love toward his father hasn’t wavered,” the source continues.

“It goes without saying he’s terrified of losing his only remaining parent, even though everyone — Harry included — is extremely optimistic about the king’s prognosis.”

Making Matters Worse

Now Harry has reportedly exacerbated the situation by appearing on Good Morning America to discuss his father’s health.

Harry’s remarks were innocuous, as he told Will Reeve that he “loves [his] family” and was “grateful” for the opportunity to see his father.

But according to Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold, the royals will not be happy that Harry decided to speak on private matters in such a public fashion.

“If Harry is going into great discussion about anything, it’s possible that the royals won’t be over the moon,” Harrold told The New York Post.

“I have no idea why Harry feels the need to speak out, that’s what I don’t understand. Let’s say if it does annoy the royal family, then Harry doing that is only going to annoy them more.”

Harry Heads Out

Shortly after he left London, Harry made a surprise appearance at the NFL Honors ceremony in Las Vegas.

Some outlets were critical of the duke’s decision to crack jokes in public during such a difficult time for his family.

A few days later, Harry and Meghan headed to Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia for events marking one year until the next edition of Invictus Games, the athletic competition for wounded veterans that Harry co-founded back in 2011.

The appearances prompted some odd coverage from the British tabloid press, including an article in the Telegraph alleging that the Sussexes need to “prove they can behave” on the Canada trip.

The bizarre take spurred Harry and Meghan to make a statement through their reps.

“We’ve heard time and time again that certain opportunities are make or break for the couple. They’re still here,” said a spokesperson for the couple.

“They’re still working and pursuing what they believe in, despite constantly being challenged and criticized. This couple will not be broken.”

The Sussexes did “behave” themselves by refraining from making any disparaging remarks about the royals during their trip.

But something tells us that won’t be enough to get them back in William’s good graces.

Prince William Hangs With Tom Cruise & Speaks On Father’s Cancer Diagnosis For …

Prince William is stepping out in public in the wake of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

And hey look, there’s Tom Cruise!

Though he’s spent time by his wife’s side, he has his royal duties to perform.

This week, following reports of the aged monarch’s swollen prostate, the world learned that King Charles has cancer.

The Crown Prince has a lot on his mind. Heavy is the head that may very soon wear the crown.

Prince William is Back to Work & Rubbing Elbows With Tom Cruise

On Wednesday morning, Prince William held a lavish investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.

During this, he bestowed over 50 honors on his father’s behalf.

But later that evening, attended a gala fundraising dinner for London’s Air Ambulance Charity, an event he’s gone to for a number of years.

Upon arriving, he addressed photographers for the first time since Buckingham Palace announced his father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

“We really appreciate everyone’s kind messages,” he said. “Thank you.”

Soon after, he was greeted by none other than Tom Cruise, a friend of the family.

Many will remember that Tom actually attended Princess Diana’s funeral. He also was quite close the late Queen Elizabeth II.

He actually flew to Windsor Castle in his helicopter for lunch with her just months before her death in September 2022.

Plus, William and Kate were both on hand for the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick when it came to Lond.

Earlier this year, Kate Middleton spent an extended period under hospitalization. She underwent surgery, and has a long recovery ahead of her.

Now, King Charles’ cancer diagnosis is public. Obviously, the family — most of them, anyway — learned of this first.

It is only natural that Prince William spent time with his beloved family members. But he has royal duties that cannot wait — especially when his father cannot perform them.

While Charles has outpatient cancer treatment this week, William is stepping up to the plate.

Despite a lack of direct political power, the royal family remains a sort of very expensive national mascot. They have ceremonial duties to perform — and just as Charles stepped in for Elizabeth from time to time, William is doing the same for Charles.

Prince William honored a number of athletes

During this first public appearance since the Firm disclosed Charles’ diagnosis, William handed out honors to a number of soccer players.

Soccer is called “football” in the UK, and William is president of the nation’s Football Association.

William and Kate’s official Instagram account praised the “amazing” athletes for “doing incredible things” for various communities.

That is not the end of William’s duties, either.

Another item on his schedule is a fundraising gala dinner for London’s Air Ambulance Charity.

William is, officially, the organization’s patron. He has more titles than “Duke” and “Prince,” after all.

William is not the only prince in town

The Prince of Wales certainly knows that his estranged brother, Prince Harry, is also in London.

Even though Charles “iced out” Harry and seems unsure of how to reconcile, Harry wanted to be there for his father.

He raced to the UK earlier this week. Many conclude that he learned of Charles’ diagnosis shortly before it became public or only after.

Unlike Harry, William will take the throne when Charles abdicates or passes away. He has spent his life preparing for this role.

However, he has spent recent weeks caring for his wife, Kate Middleton.

Following her hospitalization in January, Kate has been spending time with family in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. There, the public expects her to remain for another couple of months.

Not everyone feels overt concern for Charles

Cancer diagnoses should never be a matter of a popularity contest. One does not have to be likable to deserve to live.

However, anyone who exists as the public face of the British monarchy is also assuming a lot of responsibility for all that it represents.

Generations of hoarded wealth, obscene displays of opulence when the public withers under austerity, and leeching over $100 million from taxpayers per year … it’s never going to elicit much sympathy from a lot of people.

One day, unless society makes a lot of very sensible decisions in a very short amount of time, Prince William will be king.

Then, all of that complex baggage will fall on his shoulders instead of his father’s.

He is a bit more popular than Charles, however. His wife is much more tolerant of his indiscretions. And perhaps he’ll elicit more sympathy when his own health begins to fail.

Prince Harry Snubs Brother William on London Visit: ‘No Plans’ To Reunite

Prince Harry flew all the way to London and he’s reportedly not going to see his brother Prince William.

Prince Harry traveled to the U.K. following the news of his King Charles’ cancer diagnosis almost immediately.

The Duke of Sussex arrived at London Heathrow Airport the very next day following the announcement.

He was seen in photos traveling to Clarence House, the longtime residence of King Charles, where His Majesty is recovering from his new needed treatments.

However, according to a report, Harry is not scheduled to see his brother Prince William, despite everything that’s going on with the family. 

A royal source told People Magazine there are “no plans” for Prince Harry and Prince William to get together.

This means that it’s unlikely that Harry will check in on his sister-in-law Kate Middleton either, who is recuperating from her recent abdominal surgery.

So much for that olive branch, huh?

Given the brother’s history and dysfunctional relationship the last few years, this information may not be surprising.

But family matters such as these usually bring people together, and it’s sad to hear that the boys, who lost their mother so young, aren’t making the effort to come together for their father’s sake. 

Prince Harry’s Return To The UK 

Harry’s return to London marks the first time he’ll have visited with the royal family in a public capacity since the monarch’s coronation ceremony in May.

The visit was quick, with Harry attending the official service before heading to the airport to return home immediately after. 

Just like with that trip, Prince Harry came home solo, leaving his family back in California, where he lives with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, 4-year-old son Prince Archie and 2-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet.

Prince William Stepping Up

With his father dealing with a cancer diagnosis and his wife recuperating from surgery, Prince William is juggling a lot at the moment.

A visit from his brother might’ve been nice, if bridges could be mended and support given. 

As it is, with no reunion in sight, William is left to deal with everything on his own. 

The Prince of Wales hasn’t taken on any engagements since Kate’s surgery, clearing his calendar to care of his own young children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis However, he is set to return to public duties on Wednesday with an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle and the annual fundraising gala for the London Air Ambulance.
