Prince William ‘doesn’t let Kate feel isolated’ amid cancer treatment as he puts family first

Prince William “doesn’t let Kate feel isolated” amid her cancer treatment as he puts his family first.

The Prince of Wales has taken a break from his duties over the Easter holidays to spend time with his wife and their three children.

During Kate’s video message announcing her cancer diagnosis, she said that her husband was a “great source of comfort and reassurance.”

A source has detailed how the Prince and the Princess of Wales will be supporting each other during this difficult time.

The source said: “He is a very reliable, strong person. She doesn’t feel isolated in this because of William, who is right beside her.

“This is about supporting her and her feeling supported. It is a joint effort. She doesn’t feel isolated at all.”

A source told PEOPLE: “The nuclear family that they have created so well is an immense support not only to him but to Catherine too.”

Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her two siblings, Pippa and James are also expected to be on hand to help support the family.

In a touching statement on Instagram, Kate’s brother James said: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales are spending the Easter holidays in their country home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk, England.

The source continued: “It is a particular time in their lives, and I know their priority will be to look after each other.

“His priority is on his family, and the other questions can wait.”

Prince William and Princess Kate rely less on their nanny for childcare

Prince William and Kate take on a more “hands-on approach” to parenting compared to former royals who left much of the childcare up to nannies.

A friend of the couple said: “The children are at the centre of their world.”

Princess Kate made sure to mention her children several times during her video message.

She said how it took time to “explain everything” to Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8 and Prince Louis, 5.

Kate also said: “We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.

“My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.”

Princess Kate is now on a recovery pathway and has started a course of preventive chemotherapy.

The Prince and the Princess of Wales will not be attending Sunday’s annual Easter Service in Windsor with King Charles and the Queen.
