Deteriorating Health Forces Kate Middleton to Miss Prince William's Milestone Trip
Prince William, who is eagerly anticipating an upcoming milestone, will be without his beloved wife, Kate Middleton, on his big day due to her ongoing health issues.
The Princess of Wales' first overseas trip alongside William since her cancer diagnosis is in doubt because of her ongoing chemotherapy treatment. As a result, she will likely miss accompanying him to South Africa this year, where he is set to promote the Earthshot Prize, an initiative he founded in 2020 to combat climate change.
Royal commentators Cameron Walker and Svar Nanan-Sen discussed the upcoming event on GB News. Svar mentioned: "There was some uncertainty around whether he would go due to Catherine's health, but we've seen him undertake a few overseas trips now, three to watch England across Euro 2024. With Kate undertaking a couple of public appearances, it feels safer to say that William will be there."
Svar continued: "In terms of the Princess of Wales, no confirmation."
Cameron shared his thoughts on William's milestone and Kate's possible absence, saying: "Kensington Palace hasn't even confirmed yet that Prince William's going, but I would be so, so surprised if he doesn't go to Cape Town because it is his prize and he's been to every single one so far."
He added: "The Princess of Wales, even before her abdominal surgery and cancer diagnosis, I would say, is a question mark because last year she didn't go to Singapore with Prince William, which was last year's prize. The reason I was given was that she was helping Prince George with his entrance exams for Eton and other various colleges."
"There is still a question mark over whether she'll go. I think it's more likely that William will go. Whether the Princess of Wales goes as well, we'll have to wait and see. But of course, Cape Town is in South Africa, and the last major royals who visited South Africa were Harry and Meghan in 2019. So will there be some kind of comparison between those two feuding royal couples as well?"
Kate Middleton was last seen attending Wimbledon. She made her first official public appearance at the King's Birthday Parade, also known as Trooping the Colour, in June since her cancer diagnosis.
