An insider with close ties to the British royal family revealed that the Prince of Wales took a step back for a brief period upon learning about the health challenges faced by his parents, Catherine and the King, who have both been diagnosed with cancer.

This decision came in the wake of recent personal tragedies that the Prince had to navigate.

The insider shared insights with Us Weekly, shedding light on the Prince’s response to the current situation.

Following Catherine’s diagnosis, he took a short hiatus to be with her, before gathering his strength to fulfill his role as a pillar of support for the entire family.

Renowned royal biographer Tessa Dunlop emphasized the gravity of the circumstances, highlighting the importance of backing the Prince of Wales during this trying period.

Juggling the care of their three children alongside the weight of the situation may have evoked poignant memories of Princess Diana’s untimely passing for the Prince.

It is evident that he is grappling with personal challenges amidst the ongoing health crisis.

Sources close to the palace disclosed that the Prince of Wales is shouldering what has been described as an immense responsibility.

To offer him some respite, the palace has opted to give him space, recognizing the heavy burden he carries.

Nevertheless, there is reassurance in the form of a robust support system surrounding the Prince.

Reports indicate that the Wales family stands united, with the Princess responding well to her cancer treatment.

Earlier speculations arose when Catherine was rumored to be hospitalized for an impending surgical procedure at the start of the year.

However, as updates remained scarce, public conjecture grew.

Subsequently, Catherine maintained a low profile until late March when she released a video disclosing her cancer diagnosis.

Describing it as a profound shock for the family, she shared that she had commenced preventive chemotherapy under medical guidance.

Since then, she has chosen to stay away from the public eye, with the Prince of Wales taking another break to stand by her side.
