Kate Middleton and Prince William have reportedly grown even closer amid her battle with cancer, finding a renewed appreciation for each other during this challenging time. Observers noted the strong connection between William and Kate during her highly anticipated appearance at the Trooping the Colour event on June 15.

This event marked their first official outing together in six months, and insiders commented on a noticeable change in their demeanor.

Stayed by her side

According to a Us Weekly source, the Princess of Wales felt “a bit nervous” about returning to the public eye after her diagnosis, which came shortly after King Charles III disclosed his own struggle with an undisclosed form of cancer.

“Kate was gazing at William,” said a source.

“They looked all loved up. “William and Kate seem like a different couple! They used to be more reserved. But now, they can’t help but look at each other and smile.”

Other insiders have mentioned that Middleton is appreciating the additional time for self-care but remains eager to resume her public duties.

“Kate attended Trooping the Colour to support the royal family and tradition, despite personal challenges,” a source added. “He stayed by her side and offered her reassurance. William was grateful to have Kate there, and it means a lot to Charles too.”
