After a gruelling year that saw both King Charles and Princess Kate battle with cancer, one royal expert believes 2025 will see the Wales children spoilt in recognition of their support through a difficult 12 months
As 2024 draws to a close, it’s safe to say it’s been one of the hardest years for Prince William and Princess Kate in recent memory, not least because it was the year that saw both King Charles and Kate diagnosed with cancer just months apart from each other. Understandably this took a toll on the Prince and Princess of Wales ’ three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – however all three young royals were a great source of comfort and support to their mother during her chemotherapy and subsequent road to recovery.
But now, with the Princess having confirmed that her treatment has been completed, 2025 looks to be the start of a welcome change to normality for the royal family – and one royal expert believes it may be the year that William and Kate “spoil” their children in recognition of her their resilience throughout a very troubled year.
Royal author Ingrid Seward told Hello!: “Kate will be wanting to spoil them a bit, because it’s very frightening for children when their parents are that ill, so I think they will be up for a few treats this year. I think William and Kate might take the children skiing during the Easter holidays and will probably be planning a big summer holiday, because as far as we know they didn’t go anywhere last year.”
The author, who also penned the book Royal Children which looks at royal youngsters throughout the generations, went on to add: “Like many famous parents, they are cautious about exposing the children to too much scrutiny in this digital age. They know they must produce the children at certain times, but I think they very much keep them under wraps the rest of the time.”
Describing their life as “far more ordinary” than their predecessors, thanks to William and Kate’s decision to take a more hands on role with parenting without the use of nannies and staff, Ingrid went on to highlight how the children all get on well together due to their close ages and have been “bound by the situation they’re in and they’re all in it together.”
