As Princess Katherine continues her private battle with cancer, one royal expert believes there are positive signs indicating that her treatment is progressing well, while Prince William fulfills his royal duties.
Former BBC Royal correspondent Jenny Bond provided a hopeful health update on the Princess of Wales following Prince William’s recent overnight trip to Cornwall.
Bond suggested that Katherine would be relying on her parents for support while William carries out his royal duties, especially given the shortage of working royals.
She emphasized the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors for Katherine’s recovery, noting that the current sunny weather in the UK could aid her healing process.
“I’ve no doubt that Catherine’s parents will be staying with her, but even so, it must be a step in the right direction,” Bond commented. “Hopefully, Catherine is feeling stronger every day, and with the sun now shining, she’ll be able to enjoy the great outdoors, which has always been restorative for her.”
Prince William provided an update on his wife’s health during his visit to Cornwall last week, reassuring the public that “she’s doing well.” Princess Katherine has been out of the public eye since the beginning of the year after undergoing abdominal surgery. In March, she made a video appearance to reveal her cancer diagnosis with an undisclosed form of cancer.
While the specifics of Katherine’s cancer and her treatment remain undisclosed, there have been no indications that it is life-threatening. The princess has expressed her desire to keep her journey through treatment private, a sentiment respected by all.
Royal expert Phil Dampier echoed the sentiment, stating, “Hopefully, no news is good news, and like the king, we all hope she is recovering well.” Dampier noted that there are telltale signs indicating Katherine’s improvement, such as Prince William taking on more responsibilities, including visiting the Isles of Silly for a day or two.
During his visit to Cornwall, Prince William’s itinerary included stops at Nan Leen Nuki, where the first homeless housing project will be built, and Fistral Beach to meet organizers of the project. On Friday, he is scheduled to make his first visit to the Isles of Silly, where he will visit St Mary’s Harbor and meet representatives from local businesses before paying a visit to St Mary’s Medical Center.
As Princess Katherine’s treatment journey continues, the public remains hopeful for her swift recovery, buoyed by the supportive presence of her family and the positive updates from Prince William.
