King Charles and Kate’s cancer diagnoses leave royal family vulnerable

King Charles and Kate Middleton are stepping back from public duties after undergoing cancer treatment, leaving other working royals facing a real test over their absence from royal events.

There is no doubt that the sudden royal health crisis has shaken the monarchy and raised several questions about its future survival.

Elsa Anderson, former spokesperson for the late Queen Elizabeth, told People: “[The royal family] Very fragile at the moment. “

Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis comes on the heels of the King’s own health battles being revealed in early February.

The monarchy is said to be going through one of its biggest crises in recent years, with two of its most senior staff members left largely incapacitated after undergoing cancer treatment.

Future King William has also cut back on royal duties to support his wife Kate Middleton and their children.

A royal spokesman said: “The Princess will return to official duties when cleared by her medical team. She is in good spirits and is focusing on a full recovery.”

Speculation remains that the royal family may reveal some of the more shocking details to the public in the future, as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie face calls to come forward in support of the monarchy , because Queen Camilla has a heavy burden on her shoulders.
