Kate Middleton and Prince William's 'relief' over King Charles return
ok.co.ukThe news that King Charles is returning to public-facing official duties in the near future will not only be a boost for him and Queen Camilla, but also for other key senior royals such as The Prince and Princess of Wales.
After an emotionally challenging few months which has seen the number of working members of the family stretched thinly, a top royal commentator has reflected on why this uplifting news will also be a relief for Prince William and Kate. "This news will be a great relief for William to have his father not only back in health, but also in action – relieving some of the pressure on the Prince to be out and about when he has his own young family and wife to take care of," former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively tells OK!
Jennie adds: “As for Kate, The King’s news will come as a huge relief. Not only because she has great affection for her father-in-law, but because it relieves the pressure on her and on William. "With the King back in action, albeit not a full diary, she can feel more relaxed about a protracted absence from the public arena, and William can feel less anxious about taking time off when he needs to be with his wife and family." “It has been an incredibly tough few months for the King and Queen and the spectre of cancer will undoubtedly hang over them for the foreseeable future," Jennie adds. "Hopefully the sun will soon be shining and the royal season will get underway with the Chelsea Flower Show, Trooping the Colour, Royal Ascot and many other engagements with the King in attendance at as many as possible." To mark the news, the King and Queen released a specially commissioned photograph which was taken by Millie Pilkington the day after their 19th wedding anniversary on.
