Nobody truly knows how Kate Middleton is doing while she gets prophylactic chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis in February. The public learned of her sickness in mid-March when the Princess of Wales published an honest video. However, since then, there have been little updates.

There were numerous conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess leading up to the announcement of her cancer diagnosis. And, while there has been no official update on her health, Prince William has mentioned his wife several times.

This past Wednesday, he provided the audience with a new piece of information to chew on.The most recent one occurred just days ago, when the future king met with World War II veterans in Portsmouth, England, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

One veteran asked William if Kate was “getting any better.” William said, “Yes,” adding, “She would’ve loved to be here today.”When Kate spent 13 days at the London Clinic following surgery, Prince William took on a substantial share of the duty for their children.  He was also required to do a variety of royal responsibilities outside of his regular schedule to fill in for his father, King Charles, who was also undergoing cancer treatment.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are “closer than ever,” according to a royal insider. When William formally returned to royal responsibilities in mid-April, many royal admirers seized the chance to greet him and wish Kate well.

Needless to say, the past year has been difficult for William and Kate, as well as their three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, according to a royal insider, William and Kate are “closer than ever”.

“The announcement that the royals won’t be able to work as much has been unexpected, but it will allow Kate and William to spend more time together,” a source told the publication. “Kate’s feeling strong enough to be very involved with the kids,” the insider explained. “She’s been an active parent.”
