As Kate Middleton is recovering at home following abdominal surgery and King Charles battles with his recent cancer diagnosis, it’s safe to say Prince William has taken on a lot of responsibility. Not only has he stepped up at home as a father and husband, caring for both Kate and their three children, but he is also helping his father with royal duties.
What will happen in the next couple of months? We don’t know yet, but Prince William will continue to take on more engagements as his father and wife recover. On Sunday, he walked the BAFTA Film Awards red carpet at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall without his wife by his side.
Besides the two statements from Kensington Palace and a minor update from William, there has been very little information surrounding Kate and how she is doing following her surgery. Though when speaking to Elaine Bedell, the chief executive of the Southbank Centre, on the red carpet, he gave a touching update on his wife’s health.
Prince William and the rest of the royal family have had plenty on their hands in the last few years. The feud with Harry and Meghan has brought a lot of frustration among the family members still active, and as the queen passed away and King Charles took over, it has been a big adjustment.
Prince William taking on huge responsibility as Kate Middleton & King Charles recover
William and his wife, Kate Middleton, took on much more responsibility and royal duties, but in January, what was supposed to have been an average month suddenly changed.
Kensington Palace announced that Kate had undergone a “planned” abdominal surgery and stayed for almost two weeks at The London Clinic in central London. Prince William visited his wife almost daily, but it also meant he had to take on more responsibility as a father, doing the runs to school, taking them to activities after school, and doing the “evening shift alongside the family nanny, Maria Teresa Burallo.
At the same time, King Charles was receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. But just days later, the news that the monarch had been diagnosed with “a form of cancer” shocked fans worldwide.
For most of his life Prince William has been prepared – and still is preparing – to become king. One day, he will take on the role of monarch, and as his wife and father have gone through health scares in recent months, his responsibilities have only grown.
Meanwhile, royal biographer Angela Levin stated that Prince William now faces a “difficult time.” Not only does he have to take care of his duties as a father and husband, but he also juggles the royal duties simultaneously.
