In just the past half hour, the British Royal Family’s social media has been in turmoil as Prince William shared a status that has left millions of fans around the world heartbroken. In that short but haunting post, William could not hide his extreme fatigue and anxiety: “Everything is dark all the time, but I have to be strong for Kate and the children…”

Princess Kate Middleton, who is always loved by the public for her elegant beauty, kindness and strong will, has gone through a difficult time fighting cancer. The images of Kate, emaciated and haggard but still smiling to reassure her family and the people not long ago are still imprinted in everyone’s hearts.

According to information revealed by Prince William, royal doctors have asked Princess Kate to undergo regular cancer screening every year to detect the risk of recurrence early. This means that the fear of illness will always be an invisible burden weighing on their small family. The people of the foggy country, who are already familiar with the image of a beautiful Kate Middleton, who is responsible for both royal duties and the role of an exemplary mother, now admire her spirit of steel even more.

Many people believe that Prince William’s gloomy sharing also partly reflects the heavy pressure he has to bear. Not only is he a husband who accompanies his wife through the storm, William is also the spiritual pillar of the British Royal Family when King Charles III is also being treated for cancer, and Prince Harry has kept his distance from his family in recent years.

Under the post, millions of comments encouraged and wished Princess Kate to continue to be strong. From ordinary British people to heads of state, artists, and famous people, all gave her the best wishes. One account shared: “Princess Kate is a role model for millions of women around the world in terms of resilience. We always pray for her.”

At 42, Kate Middleton understands better than anyone the meaning of every moment spent with her husband and children. Despite her busy royal schedule, she still tries to arrange time to not miss tea parties with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It is her love for her family that motivates her not to give up on this terrible disease.

Although the journey ahead of the Princess will still have many challenges, the love and trust that the British people have for her will certainly be the most valuable spiritual medicine. Hopefully, in the next check-ups, the doctors will always bring good news, so that Prince William will no longer have to exclaim: “Everything is dark all around me…”

Because more than anyone, the world still needs to see Kate Middleton’s warm smile — a symbol of courage, elegance and undying love for family and country.
