Kate Middleton's battle with cancer is reportedly becoming "more and more difficult" by the day as the Princess of Wales suffers from exhaustion, nausea and other gruelling effects of her treatment.
According to a media report, Kate is having to put on a brave face in front of her family. She is going to "great lengths to hide" the discomfort she has been feeling — "especially from the children" who are unaware of her cancer diagnosis.
Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more difficult," the National Enquirer was told.
A high-level royal courtier told a media outlet that Kate and William are "going through hell behind palace walls," as both the Princess and her father-in-law King Charles battle cancer.
The report said that the intensive treatments to wipe out cancer are now starting to take a "terrible toll" on Kate, and claimed that the Princess is dealing with hair and weight loss.
William is stepping up in every way he can for his father and wife, the report citing source said, revealing he has often thought of what it's like to lose a mother at a young age after the 1997 death of his mother, Princess Diana, following a car crash in Paris.
"He's trying to be [Kate's] rock while also taking care of the kids and still performing official duties. This is uncharted territory for them both."
The royal courtier added, "He's been cutting back on travel and doing more remote engagements, making it clear Kate and the children come first."
According to insiders of the royal family, Kate has been handling the treatments like a "warrior" and taking all the time she needs to rest and recover.
Kate made her cancer diagnosis public via a video on March 22. She was diagnosed with cancer after an abdominal surgery in January.
The cancer is reportedly not connected with the surgery. The type of cancer, nevertheless, has not been disclosed. In the message, she had said that she is undergoing "preventive" chemotherapy.
The abdominal surgery Kate Middleton underwent in January this year was reportedly performed by a team of Italian doctors who had once operated on Pope Francis.
According to the Italian publication 'Gente', this distinguished team of specialists was flown into London for the high-stake operation of the Princess of Wales, a mother of three. The operation also led to Kate's cancer diagnosis.
Kate's abdominal surgery was performed by doctors from a renowned clinic in Rome – Gemelli Clinic.
The medical experts from the Gemelli Clinic reportedly flew to a London clinic to attend to the Princess of the British royal family, which typically relies on their cadre of medical experts.
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, stepped away from public duties after announcing on March 22 that she had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer. In a video message, she said she had begun chemotherapy.
The news came after King Charles III, her father-in-law, announced his own cancer diagnosis. Charles returned to public-facing duties last week after Buckingham Palace said doctors were encouraged by his progress, even as his treatment continues.
How is Kate Middleton doing now?
On Friday, Prince William shared a health update on his wife Kate, who is undergoing treatment for cancer. In a rare comment, the Prince said Catherine is “doing well".
According to the Associated Press, Prince William offered a positive assessment of his wife's health to a hospital administrator.
William was on a tour of St. Mary’s Community Hospital on the Isles of Scilly. He visited the region to break ground for a new building that will include inpatient treatment beds and a maternity suite.
The hospital administrator Tracy Smith said, “I asked William about his wife Kate and he said, 'she's doing well, thanks'."
"And I suggested they might like to come for a visit and bring the children," the administrator was quoted as saying.
