Kate Middleton cancer news: Princess of Wales to skip Easter service as Charles ‘sits away’ from Royal Family

The five are believed to be retreating to Amner Hall in Norfolk, which was a wedding present to the Waleses from the Queen, to focus on their young family as the princess convalesces.

The Georgian country house, which is part of the Sandringham Estate in the village of Anmer, is one of a number of properties that the Prince and Princess of Wales have at their disposal across England.

The young family relocated to Adelaide Cottage, a Grade II-listed four-bedroom house just a 10-minute walk from Windsor Castle, in autumn 2022.

Google searches for cancer symptoms have sky rocketed since the Princess of Wales revealed she had the disease in a move that could save thousands of lives.

The term ‘abdominal surgery’ – the operation in which the Princess’s cancer was found – have surged more than 2,000 percent in the last seven days.

Inquiries for ‘ovarian cancer prognosis’ rose by 1,550 percent and those for ‘stomach cancer prognosis’ rose by 900 percent.

Dr Daniel Landau told DailyMail.com since the announcement, patients have become more “attune” to their bodies and “many people are desperately seeking reassurance their symptoms are not cancer”.

The Princess of Wales hasn’t been seen at any gatherings or royal engagements since Christmas, as she has been recovering from abdominal surgery and is now going through preventative chemotherapy.

But Kate could be set to make her first public appearance at the very special spot Prince William proposed to her at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in the foothills of Mount Kenya.

The prince revealed he had used Princess Diana’s ring as a “way of keeping [his mother] sort of close to it all”.

Joss Craig, whose father William runs the conservancy, is now engaged to his partner Miranda Simpson, who is also the sanctuary’s horse-riding manager.

The Princess of Wales’ decision to film the video will hopefully be the making of the future queen, a royal expert has said.

Russell Myers – Royal Editor for the Daily Mirror told True Royalty TV: “This was very much Kate’s decision. The Princess of Wales wanted to do the video.”

“Kate and William had decided for her to make this public statement after the children had broken up from school [for Easter].”

He added the delay allowed the parents to shield the children from the coverage of Kate’s diagnosis giving them “time to digest it as a family…And that’s really important for them.”

“I think the Palace possibly would have said, ‘You are fine doing a written statement’. But hopefully, this will be the making of her.”

Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Gary Goldsmith told De Viernes that he had not been in contact with the Princess of Wales.

He said: “I have been in touch with my sister Carol to make sure my niece is okay. I thought Kate handled it incredibly well, especially in such a difficult and tricky situation.”

“I don’t know anybody else who’s had to deal with something like that, deal with their children and then have to offer explanations to the national and international media in such a public scenario. She did it beautifully. It was handled very well, she was honest and transparent and it does feel like she’s on the mend and it’s all preventive.”

“But it’s hard to imagine that they haven’t been affected by so many comments and conspiracy theories. I have sent messages to Kate so she knows what I feel and the love I have for her.”

In a video statement issued on Friday evening, Kate announced that she had begun preventative chemotherapy and told other cancer patients: “You are not alone.”

King Charles is reportedly going to sit away from the royal family at tomorrow’s Easter Sunday service.

The appearance will be the first major event for Charles, 75, since he was diagnosed with cancer in February.

Officials said other members of the royal family will attend the service at St. George’s Chapel, however The Telegraph reported he would be sat away from them.

A source told the paper that the King’s medical team agreed the arrangement to protect his health, and that he and the Queen will be seated slightly away from others in attendance.

Buckingham Palace has not yet confirmed which members of the Royal family will attend.

Born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton in January 1982 in Reading, England, the former Kate Middleton grew up in a well-to-do neighbourhood in Bucklebury, Berkshire, and has two siblings, Pippa, 39, and James, 35.

She is the eldest of the three, shared by parents Michael and Carole Middleton – a former flight dispatcher and flight attendant at British Airways who went on to found Party Pieces, a company selling supplies for children’s parties, in 1987.

Although they had ties to members of the royal family and members of the British aristocracy, the Middletons themselves have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.

The Duke of Sussex is understood to have cost the taxpayer more than £500,000 following his failed legal bid to overturn a Home Office decision which denies him the right to automatic police protection.

Figures obtained by the Telegraph via a Freedom of Information request show that the total cost incurred by Prince Harry fighting two separate judicial review claims reached £514,128.

This included more than £180,000 for counsel, £320,000 for the Government Legal Department, £2,300 in court fees and almost £10,000 in e-disclosure.

Harry was challenging a February 2020 order by the Royal And VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) that scaled back his security detail after he infamously quit the royal family and relocated to the US in 2020.
