Royal Family News: Palace experts say Kate Middleton and Charles are in 'a very different position' following cancer diagnosis


King hosts garden party with royals while Prince Harry will miss meeting

The Princess of Wales is in a “very different” position to that of King Charles following her cancer diagnosis.

Kate, 42, revealed she had the disease in a moving video in March, shortly after the monarch, 75, announced she had been diagnosed with the disease in February.

While she has since returned to work, the Princess has not taken on any public duties since 2023 and this is reportedly due to her position as the “future of the Monarchy.”

A member of the palace told the daily mail: “It is a reflection of the importance of His Royal Highness to the future of the Monarchy that he has been given all the time he needs.”

“As sovereign, Her Majesty is in a very different position to that of the Princess of Wales.”

The revelation comes as Sarah Ferguson was caught on camera at the Cannes Film Festival asking a rowdy audience to be quiet as she auctioned off a work of art by the late Queen Elizabeth.

“Calm down! Because the incredible person Simon de Pury has done an incredible job tonight, this is exceptional, and all I want to say to everyone in this room is stop, stop, stop,” he said.
