Sovereign William was Very discontent with how the virtual entertainment catastrophe encompassing Princess Catherine’s “vanishing” worked out.
Obviously, the initial not many long periods of 2024 were loaded up with a wide range of tales, questions, tattle, and unwarranted cases about where Kate Middleton was after she vanished from the public eye for some time. Be that as it may, before they uncovered her disease determination to the world, the royal residence couldn’t sort out some way to address it. They conveyed contradicting messages, coming full circle in a clearly doctored photograph of Kate. By then, basically everyone turned into a Kate Truther, it was truly proceeding to consider what. As general society was famished for a fair response, a few genuinely bizarre bits of hearsay spread — like she was separating from Will or covertly in a state of unconsciousness. Indeed, even famous people like Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Andy Cohen participated!
What’s more, presently we know how Sovereign William responded secretly to all that tattle. Fair warning: he was distraught about it!!
According to People, a former staffer says the 41-year-old future king was “upset and angry” at the social media rumors as he helplessly watched them spread over the first couple months of the year. By now, he has managed to “compartmentalize it,” according to that ex-staffer. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t super difficult to see all the conspiracy theories spiral out at the time!
In addition to feeling frustrated by the rumors, the Prince of Wales was temporarily left with no real path forward. After all, his wife did not initially intend to reveal her diagnosis in the manner and timing in which she did. That whole process left “stubborn” William reeling for a while. Valentine Low, a royal insider and the author of Courtiers, explained to the mag:
“William is strong-minded, stubborn sometimes. That, and his emphasis on family life, will give him the backbone and strength to get through this.”
Remember, this follows our report from earlier on Wednesday morning in which another royal insider noted William has been “digging deep” to get through the dual cancer battles of his wife and his father, King Charles. As we covered this AM, that source noted:
“Whether you’re a prince or a pauper, no one would expect anything like this with his father and his wife both being treated for cancer. William is digging deep.”
William is going through it. Kate is, as well, clearly. We couldn’t in fact envision the psychological trial in battling through her treatment plan with three little ones at home thus much open consideration on her. We’re happy to hear that William has since had the option to “compartmentalize” all that, as this new insider noted.
