The battle against cancer might be exceptionally hard for Kate Middleton, but she isn’t the only one feeling the strain during these trying times. Carole Middleton continues to support Kate through this difficult recovery period as the Princess of Wales begins preventative chemotherapy. Carole has vowed to help Kate, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis in any way she can.
“We should also spare a thought for another mother in this — Carole Middleton,” royal expert Jennie Bond told The Mirror. “Catherine may be 42, but she is still Carole’s little girl, and to watch her go through this and withstand the bullying pressure to explain must have been desperately upsetting.”

Bond continued: “She has no doubt been a tower of strength and a comforting presence for the children, but she, too, will need reassurance.”

Andy Cohen Regrets Spreading Conspiracy Theories About Kate Middleton Prior to Her Cancer DiagnosisLast month, right before her cancer diagnosis went public, Kate Middleton faced backlash for editing her Mother’s Day post on Instagram. The image has now been flagged as ‘altered’ to align with Instagram’s guidelines. But even with the criticism she faced, the Middletons wouldn’t let Kate face the onslaught alone.
“They’ll have rallied around her, especially her young family,” royal biographer Duncan Larcombe told The Mirror in March. “Carole and Michael will have essentially thrown a safety blanket around the young children to help protect them.”
“In times like this for Kate, it is hugely important. It is crucial the children are looked after carefully,” he added.
Just a few weeks ago, Kate took to Instagram to share the devastating news.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”
