Kate Middleton and Prince William are struggling amidst the former’s battle with her disease, with a clothing designer who has styled the couple’s children going so far as to describe how they’re “going through hell”.

At the time of the shock announcement, few details were offered as to the specifics of her condition. The type of disease she has remains unknown, for example, as does the stage she is in.

In truth, the general public haven’t been given much to go on of late to quell their natural curiosity as to how Kate might be getting on. While King Charles has been seen out and about as he undergoes treatment for his own disease, Kate has been recovering well away from the flashing of cameras since the video in which she confirmed for the world that she was ill.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Middleton said in the March clip.

“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

Speaking to the Telegraph, Amaia Arrieta revealed: “I’m heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through a lot, I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

Arrieta was also among those to offer her well wishes in the immediate aftermath of Kate’s announcement.
