\u201cNow it was time to nail the door shut once and for all, and for the first time Kate, who had worked harder than anyone to mend the rift between the brothers, willingly handed her husband a hammer,\u201d Andersen continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe damage was done: seeds of doubt concerning the King\u2019s chances for a full recovery had been sown,\u201d Andersen wrote, adding that the Princess of Wales \u201cis \u2018the sweetest, most loving person you could ever know,\u2019 said a Sandringham staffer, \u2018but like everyone else, she has her limits.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The king and the Princess of Wales shared their respective cancer diagnoses almost in tandem in early 2024. While the king\u2019s cancer treatment continues, Kate announced in January 2025 that she is in remission.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Kate\u2019s relationship with her father-in-law over their shared cancer battles really has made her much more sensitive to King Charles\u2019s feelings,\u201d Andersen told Us Weekly. \u201cShe knows better than anyone that having someone publicly imply you may be at death\u2019s door is horribly demoralizing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure Kate must have felt stung by that comment as well, since she is in a situation very similar to the king\u2019s,\u201d Andersen said, noting that the future queen has always been the \u201clevelheaded one\u201d in the family, attempting to \u201cbridge the widening gap between the brothers\u201d in the past.<\/p>\n
