Princess Kate’s desire to see the King and Queen is encouraging for her recovery. Last week, Princess Kate surprised admirers by showing the importance of family time by attending a service at Birkhall’s Cy Kirk Church. The Princess of Wales, gradually returning to official engagements, joined King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 77, for Sunday service.
Kate, 42, was driven to Cy Kirk Church in Balmoral by Prince William, 42, marking her first appearance since posting a video announcing the end of her cancer treatment. She appeared content and elegantly dressed, wearing one of her favorite chic hats. Jenny Bond, a former BBC Royal correspondent, expressed surprise at seeing the couple in Balmoral so soon. The visit, however, highlighted how crucial family time is to them.
“Their visit underscores the importance they place on spending time with Charles,” Bond stated, though it’s unclear if the children accompanied them. “After only a few weeks apart, William likely feels the need to maintain regular contact with his father, especially as the King continues his cancer treatment,” she continued.
The royal expert emphasized that Princess Kate’s ability to travel north after completing her cancer treatment was a positive sign for her recovery. “While traveling as a royal is obviously much easier than for the average person, putting yourself on display for a weekend visit takes some effort. This is especially true for the church visit,” Bond noted. “Seeing her there again was good news.”
Princess Kate and King Charles have always shared a strong bond, and recent health challenges have brought them even closer. “There’s no doubt that Catherine and Charles’ shared experience with cancer has deepened their already special relationship,” Bond added.
Kate, having spent over a decade in the royal family, has earned the Monarch’s admiration, and King Charles often refers to her as his “darling daughter-in-law.” Additionally, she has given him three cherished grandchildren: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
