Queen Elizabeth's Former Press Secretary Shares How Prince William Will Respond to Kate Middleton's Cancer Diagnosis

Atherine, Princess of Wales (L) and Prince William, Prince of Wales (2nd R) with Prince Louis of Wales (R), Prince George of Wales (C) and Princess Charlotte of Wales (2nd L) attend the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church on December 25, 2023 in Sandringham, Norfolk.

A royal family insider and former press secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth is sharing how she believes Prince William will respond to his wife, Kate Middleton's, cancer diagnosis.

“He is going to be the anchor for his children," Ailsa Anderson—Queen Elizabeth's former press secretary— said an exclusive interview with People. “They are protecting their children. They are thinking about their welfare above everything."

On Friday, March 22, the Princess of Wales shared an emotional video announcing she has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

"In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous," Middleton said in the video. "The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."
