Prince William was noticeably absent when Kate Middleton publicly disclosed her cancer diagnosis via a video message.
Prince William initially hesitated about Kate Middleton's decision to share her cancer diagnosis with the public.
The Princess of Wales ended her extended silence about her health by announcing her recent cancer diagnosis in a video broadcasted on BBC earlier this week.
In an interview with The Times, a close friend of the couple disclosed that Prince William was initially opposed to Kate's choice to open up about their personal health challenges to the world.
Nevertheless, he eventually supported her decision, recognizing the determination and strength behind Kate's choice as the future Queen of England.
"She made the announcement with his complete backing and guidance; he actively participated in all discussions," the source shared.
"While he would have preferred a different approach, he didn't hold any grudges and fully endorsed her decision," the confidant of the Waleses added.
Kate's decision to announce her diagnosis independently led to speculation about the state of her relationship with Prince William. Addressing these speculations, a royal insider emphasized that Kate's solo announcement highlighted her own strength and resilience.
The insider further remarked, "Prince William has consistently supported Kate and the family from behind the scenes."
