Princess Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis in early 2024, and she subsequently underwent preventative chemotherapy. The Princess of Wales also required surgical intervention and needed a prolonged stay in hospital, which temporarily took her away from her family. However, according to one royal author, Kate checked up on "Papa" Prince William's behavior from hospital.
In forthcoming book William and Catherine: The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story, royal expert Russell Myers shared new details about Princess Kate's cancer treatment. In an excerpt serialized in the Mirror, Myers explained, "Catherine was able to keep in touch with her family through video calls from her bedside, catching up on what George, Charlotte, and Louis had been doing at school and asking if 'Papa' had been able to cook for them while she had been away."
