Prince William’s care for Kate Middleton has had its ups and downs. At the beginning of her recovery from abdominal surgery, a source revealed that the Prince of Wales was at Kate’s beck and call. They told Life & Style (via Yahoo!), “Kate’s seen a side of her husband she’d never seen before. She’s impressed with his take-charge attitude during this ordeal and has rated his caretaker skills as a 10 out of 10.” William reportedly tried to help out so much that Kate told him to shoo — but the future monarch may have taken that too seriously (and it’s not by choice, either).
It’s been unfortunate timing for the royals; not only has Kate been out of the public eye, but so has King Charles III. Around the same time Kate’s surgery was announced, Charles was diagnosed with cancer. He, too, has stepped out of the limelight, as he has taken on “regular treatments” for his diagnosis. With Charles and Kate out of the public eye, much of the work has fallen on Prince William, and it’s taken a toll on his care for his wife.
A palace insider told InTouch that Kate felt “abandoned” by her husband. They said, “William has taken on more royal duties now that Charles is battling cancer, and that’s pulled him away from Kate. He’s preparing to take over the throne. He’s also checking on his father more, and William had to deal with Harry’s recent visit.”
