Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly been given full support from King Charles to take a step back from their intense royal schedules and spend more time focusing on each other following the Princess of Wales’ recent cancer battle.
According to new reports, the couple is preparing to ease off the fast-paced routine they’ve kept up for years, especially with the demands of being future king and queen. A source told Life & Style that William had taken on a huge amount of responsibility while Kate was undergoing treatment, and it left him physically and emotionally drained.
“William stepped up during Kate’s illness. He took on so many extra duties even while dealing with a sick wife,” the insider said. “It’s what had to be done, and he got on with it, but it certainly took a huge toll.”
Now that Kate’s recovery is progressing and the immediate fear has begun to fade, William is said to prioritize their time together and embrace what the source described as a “second chance at life.” He had a candid conversation with King Charles about how much they’d both been through, and Charles responded with understanding and support.
The insider shared that William “gotten the go-ahead to tone down the frenetic pace,” the King has made it clear that he doesn’t want to see his son burning out, nor wants Kate pushed too hard while she’s still regaining her strength.
Charles, who himself was diagnosed with cancer last year and is still undergoing treatment, is said to have been deeply moved by what Kate has been through and especially conscious of how illness affects every part of family life. “No doubt Charles’ own battle with cancer has made him especially sensitive to what Kate has gone through,” the insider explained.
He has reportedly told both William and Kate to take whatever time they need, not just for recovery but to be together without the usual non-stop royal calendar hanging over them. While the couple is unlikely to disappear completely from public view, they’re believed to be planning a more balanced lifestyle with fewer appearances and a bit more space for themselves.
“They won’t go overboard, but they are very keen to pull back a little so they can focus on each other more,” the source said.
That means more quiet moments, more time just the two of them, and yes, more romantic dinners, countryside walks, and a few well-earned holidays. It’s a softer chapter for the Prince and Princess of Wales, one they’re ready to embrace after such a difficult time. And with the King’s blessing, they’re not looking back.
