Princess Kate and King Charles's lives have been “turned upside down" by their cancer diagnoses earlier this year.

King Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February this year, with the Princess of Wales making her diagnosis public the following month.


A source told the Mail: “The family hadn't even got through the first month of the year and their lives were already turned upside down.”

King Charles's cancer treatment is set to continue next year, Palace insiders have told GB News.

They said: "His treatment has been moving in a positive direction and as a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year".

Princess Kate is making a graduate comeback to royal duties after she announced she has completed her preventative chemotherapy treatment in September.

The emotional video, posted to social media, shared a heartfelt message of solidarity.

She said: "Everyone's kindness, empathy, and compassion has been truly humbling.

The Princess of Wales hosted her fourth annual Together at Christmas service on December 6, which will air on Christmas Eve on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm, a key date the mother of three hoped to recover for.

Regarding the diagnosis earlier in the year, another palace insider told the Mail: “I don't think anyone sitting there in January, wondering how on earth they were going to steer the good ship with wave after wave crashing over the bow, would have imagined such an optimistic outcome.

“And yet here we all are.”

“It's frankly staggering the family has come through so much, with such tremendous dignity and resilience.”

"He was determined that something positive should come from such a setback in terms of raising awareness and support for families who go through a similar experience.
