Princess Kate leant "very hard" on two family members during her "darkest days"

The Princess of Wales attends the 'Together at Christmas' carol service in 2023.

The Wales family has endured a difficult 2024, with the Princess of Wales confirming her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, and taking a subsequent break from duties to focus on her recovery.

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment," Princess Kate explained in a rare video message to update the public on her health. "My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery."
