A complicated 2024 for Windsor
It’s going to be a tricky 2024 for Windsor. In February, Buckingham Palace announced that Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer. “During the King’s recent stay at the King’s Hospital for a benign prostate enlargement, something was discovered that raised concerns. Following the relevant diagnostic tests, a form of cancer was detected. His Majesty began his regular treatment today and throughout this ” period, His doctors have recommended that he suspend his public events,” the statement said. In an initial phase in which the sovereign concentrated on performing state functions and office functions, his presence in public life is now virtually complete.
In March, when all eyes were on the King’s illness, Kate Middleton announced that she too was suffering from cancer and had begun chemotherapy. She underwent stomach surgery in January and has been out of the media spotlight ever since, amid constant rumors that ended with news no one expected to hear. The Princess of Wales said in September that she had finished treatment, making it clear that “my road to healing and full recovery is long, and I have to take each day as it comes.” The wife of the heir to the throne is gradually entering public life and is eagerly preparing for the traditional Christmas carol concert that she hosts every Christmas.
