LONDON, May 4: In a somber announcement on March 22, the Princess of Wales revealed her recent diagnosis with cancer, sparking a wave of concern and support from royal watchers worldwide.
As the news reverberates through the royal family, fashion designer Amaia Arrieta, known for her luxury children’s label Amaia London, offered insights into the emotional turmoil experienced by Kate Middleton and Prince William. Arrieta, while expressing pride in seeing the royal children don her designs, acknowledged the profound challenges faced by the couple amid the Princess of Wales’ health battle.
“Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” Arrieta shared with The Telegraph. “I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell. I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”
Arrieta’s sentiments echo the broader concern for the royal family’s well-being, particularly as the Princess of Wales navigates her cancer treatment. The Prince of Wales recently provided a brief update on his wife’s health during a visit to Tyne, England, where he assured well-wishers of her overall well-being.
In her announcement, Kate Middleton disclosed her cancer diagnosis on March 22, refraining from specifying the form of cancer she faces. Following abdominal surgery, subsequent tests revealed the presence of cancer, prompting doctors to recommend a course of preventative chemotherapy.
Addressing the delicate task of informing their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – about her diagnosis, Kate emphasized the importance of ensuring they understood the situation in a manner suitable for their ages.
“As you can imagine, this has taken time…to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louie in a way that’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be OK,” she conveyed in her statement. “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too, as is the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you.”
As the royal family navigates this challenging chapter, the outpouring of support from well-wishers underscores the strength and resilience of the Windsor clan in the face of adversity.
