Future King Prince William is said to be following in the footsteps of his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II in coping with his wife Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis.

“[William] Very stoic and strong. He learned a lot from his grandmother’s ways and based his script on hers,” a source close to the palace told reporters. people.

“It’s going to be very difficult. But he’s a guy who’s used to taking pressure.”

The Prince of Wales is in great pain as his wife Kate and father King Charles both suffer from cancer. The heir to the throne is caring for his loved ones in this time of need.

A former royal aide told the media: “William will be under greater pressure, but he has always been aware of it. He has evolved into a leadership position and he is leading.”

“He was well prepared for it and had his own priorities. In this time of crisis, they have been closing themselves off and focusing on family and children. That’s what the Queen did when Princess Diana died – despite Criticized.” “

In the days since Kate Middleton announced her shocking health condition, she and Prince William have remained focused on their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The family of five will change tradition and choose not to attend the royal Easter service at Windsor Castle on Sunday, instead spending the weekend privately at home.

Prince William is expected to return to royal duties after his children’s schools reopen later in April, and Kate will stay out of the public eye during what she calls “preventive chemotherapy.” For now, her focus is on making a full recovery with her family by her side.

A royal source told People that it was important for Kate to “deliver this message personally,” adding that Kate made it clear that her husband has been “supportive of her throughout.”

The source added: “William is extremely proud of his wife for the courage and strength she has shown not only this week but since her surgery in January.”
