King Charles’ second year as monarch was marked by unexpected challenges, including his cancer diagnosis, which forced him to step back from royal duties. Similarly, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, faced her own battle with cancer during the same period. Their shared struggles reportedly strengthened their already close bond, with Charles viewing Kate as the “daughter he never had.”
As Kate continues her recovery, she is expected to balance her public duties with prioritizing her family in 2025. Though her royal schedule may remain lighter, her role within the monarchy remains vital, with both her and Charles focused on securing the institution’s future.
