Kate Middleton has undergone some of the toughest years of her life after she was diagnosed with cancer in March 2024. Now, she, Prince William, and their children are “starting over” in a new home, and the treatments have left scars.

But did it bring anything positive too? An expert claims William and Kate’s marriage has had a revival, all because of her cancer diagnosis.

Kate Middleton shared her cancer diagnosis with the world in March 2024. The Princess of Wales didn’t specify what type of cancer she underwent preventative chemotherapy for, but in September of the same year, she was cancer-free. In January, the princess announced she was in remission.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have stood firm together through this very difficult time. When she entered treatment, it didn’t mean only that her official role as the Princess of Wales had to be put on pause. It also meant a significant change privately, where William had to take on more responsibility.

The couple, like any other, has undoubtedly had its ups and downs. But although the cancer diagnosis came with tough times, uncertainty, and many other negative feelings, one expert claims that in Prince William and Kate’s case, it has made their relationship stronger than ever.

Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnoses ‘rekindled’ their marriage, says expert

Speaking with Fox, former royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner said Kate’s illness possibly served as a potent reminder for William.

“William has been known for his outbursts and Kate has found ways of calming the situation down but personally, I feel after the cancer diagnosis and the threat of losing her, the closeness was rekindled,” Turner said.

“And that is why decisions were made such as their quieter living accommodation rather than a palace to try and lead a normal family life have become their focus,” he added.

Another royal expert, Hilary Fordwich, also shares the view that the Prince and Princess of Wales’ bond has strengthened as they have overcome some extremely tough times.

“Adversity either destroys a marriage or brings couples closer after shared adversity. Certainly, their marriage has resulted in the latter not the former. They never stoop down to ghastly gossip, which is most admirable,” Fordwich said.

“With their move to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, everything there has been seen, by those who know, is really focused primarily on their family stability as well as ever treasured privacy,” she concluded.
