In the wake of the shocking announcement about the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis, Prince William and Kate Middleton are focusing on safeguarding their children's well-being.
The royal couple has organized a retreat lasting over three weeks for their children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5. This family-focused getaway aims to provide the children with an environment where they can "preserve their childhood in privacy," as reported by The Telegraph.
This decision follows Kate's recent health update shared through a video statement last Friday. She earnestly appealed to the public for "time, space, and privacy" as she embarks on her treatment journey.
According to The Telegraph's report, the timing of the announcement about the Princess of Wales' cancer treatment was carefully chosen to align with the children's Easter holiday. This timing allowed the family to come together and shield the children from potential external speculation.
Additionally, the Wales family has decided not to participate in the traditional Easter Sunday church walk, setting them apart from the usual royal Easter festivities.
Royal expert Gertrude Daly previously explained to the Daily Star the poignant reason behind delaying Kate's public announcement. Daly disclosed that the couple chose to inform both their children and the public after the start of the children's school holiday to protect them from any unnecessary schoolyard gossip.
