Kate Middleton she is ill, affected by a tumor and forced to undergo surgery and chemotherapy. In such a complex moment, the Princess has chosen to take a break from public life, dedicating herself full time to her children and her own recovery. So, even the sweetest of days in memory of Queen ElizabethKate spent it with her family, away from the noise of the city and the prying eyes of the paparazzi.
Kate Middleton will be treated at home
On Sunday 21 April, King Charles chose to show himself in public again, surprising everyone because he was back behind the wheel again. Kate Middleton on the contrary, who is fighting the same disease as her royal father-in-law, he hasn’t shown himself in public for months now (excluding the social video with which he communicated his illness).
Distance from public life is a way to protect oneself and to protect little George, Charlotte and Louis. The attention towards the Princess and her health conditions is morbid and Kate could not even afford to go to hospital without being attacked by reporters and paparazzi. Thus, the Princess chose – reveals the British tabloid Mirror – to treat themselves at home. Renovations are understood to be underway on a wing next to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Park to turn it into a sort of private clinic. So that Kate can undergo the necessary treatments there, going to hospital only in case of urgent needs.
The sweet memory of Elisabetta
“Publicly they won’t do anything” explained Mr Harrold, historic butler of the royal house, serving first Queen Elizabeth and, later, the future Kings Charles and Queen Camilla. “But privately – are the words of Harrold al Daily Mail – I have no doubt that they will raise a toast in his honor. I’m sure the day will pass thinking about the Queen”. In fact, what would have been the Queen’s 98th birthday was celebrated if she had still been alive.
And the faithful butler must certainly have been right, because Kate Middleton and Elizabeth II were deeply close and great esteem and inexhaustible respect flowed between them. From the first time they met which, strangely, happened without the presence of Prince William. The first time that the future granddaughter presented herself to the sovereign was in fact two years before her official engagement, on the occasion of Peter Philip’s marriage to his now ex-wife Autumn Kelly.
And if the beginnings were formal but benevolent, over time Kate became increasingly linked to the most beloved of England’s queens. To the point that it was precisely her that Elisabetta chose to leave her most beautiful jewels as an inheritance. A gift to those who, like the Princess of Wales, have always been inspired by the monarch, especially in terms of style.
