How cancer made Kate Middleton rewrite the rulebook as pal says ‘Will had to confront the possibility he could lose her’
PAUSING for a moment on the way back to their holiday cottage, William and Kate stood to admire the picturesque view.
Wrapping their arms around each other, William leant in to give his wife a kiss as they looked out over the beautiful Isle of Mull in western Scotland.
They could not have looked happier in the photo issued to commemorate their 14th wedding anniversary last month – which is quite something, given the “terrible” year they had in 2024, during which Kate faced abdominal surgery, followed by cancer diagnosis and treatment.
From the brave video message she recorded among the daffodils last spring to announce she had cancer, to the joyful family video at the end of last summer when she’d finished chemotherapy, and the heartfelt message in January 2025 to say she was in remission, Kate has managed to remain upbeat while giving an insight into how tough it has been for the family.
“Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” she said last year.
