Prince William<\/a><\/strong> and Kate Middleton<\/strong><\/a> are more in love than ever these days as they get ready to become king and queen, and a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> they\u2019ve been granted permission from ailing King Charles<\/strong><\/a> to take more time off in order to enjoy the princess\u2019 rebounding health with as little pressure on them as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWilliam really stepped up during Kate\u2019s illness. He took on so many extra duties even in the midst of dealing with a sick wife,\u201d the insider says. \u201cIt\u2019s what had to be done, and he got on with it, but it certainly took a huge toll.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Princess of Wales, 43, recently bounced back from a terrible bout with cancer throughout most of 2024. She was admitted to the hospital for \u201cplanned abdominal surgery\u201d in January that year, though details at the time were scarce and the Palace said she would be off her feat and out of the public eye until at least Easter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShe hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private,\u201d the Crown said at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n William, 42, took up public duties in February, appearing alone at several functions throughout the spring. A strange incident concerning an altered photo published on British Mother\u2019s Day in March led to intense speculation \u2014 and even quite a bit of criticism \u2014 but later that month she gave an update and announced her cancer diagnosis, putting the matter to bed as royal watchers around the world shared their sympathies. After a successful round of chemotherapy, she reappeared for the first time in June looking healthy and from then on has been slowly returning to full duties<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNow that she\u2019s feeling better and the constant fear of losing her has eased off, William\u2019s big focus has been on making the most of their time and this second chance at life together,\u201d the insider reveals. \u201cHe\u2019s spoken to his father and gotten the go-ahead to tone down the frenetic pace, Charles doesn\u2019t want to see William burn out and he certainly doesn\u2019t want to overload Kate when she\u2019s still fragile.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The King, 76, has been dealing with his own health woes since announcing he\u2019s also undergoing chemotherapy in February 2024, with the source adding, \u201cNo doubt Charles\u2019 own battle with cancer has made him especially sensitive<\/a> to what Kate has gone through.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With that understanding, \u201cHe\u2019s told her and William to take whatever time they need. They won\u2019t go overboard but they are very keen to pull back a little so they can focus on each other more. That means more romantic dinners, more long walks and more holidays.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re mapping out summer plans right now, with the usual family trips to Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly, but they\u2019re also looking to take a romantic holiday just the two of them<\/a> and talking about going back to the Seychelles where they honeymooned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
