Since Kate returned home from the London Clinic following her surgery, “she has felt abandoned by her husband,” a royal source told the publication.
“William has taken on more royal duties now that Charles is battling cancer, and that has taken him away from Kate,” they added. “He is preparing to take the throne.”
