Kate Middleton and Prince William’s marriage has always appeared picture-perfect. The two had their fair share of tough times when they were younger and even broke up for a short period, but that is now long in the past.

Back in March, 2024, Kate was diagnosed with cancer, and that changed a lot in the lives of the royal family, especially because King Charles faced the same diagnosis himself.

Despite the struggle and the many speculations surrounding Kate’s health state, certain royal authors claim something good also came from the experience; Kate and William rekindled their marriage.

Kate refused to share with the public what type of cancer she had been diagnosed with, despite the pressure by the public. Luckily, in September of the same year, she shared via a video message that she was cancer-free. In January, she announced she was in remission.

Kate and William has been together through thick and thin, and they both stood firm together during Kate’s ordeal with the disease. When she started her treatments, it not only put her role of a princess on hold, but it also changed the family’s dynamics, meaning William had to step up and shoulder a lot more of the day-to-day load.

Every couple out there have their ups and downs, and dealing with a cancer diagnosis certainly brings and overwhelming amount of fear, stress, and uncertainty. But according to an exert, doing through this nightmare together has actually brought Kate and William closer than ever, making their bond even stronger.

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, agrees that William and Kate’s marriage has actually grown even stronger through all of this.

“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.
