Over the past year or so, even the royalist media writes about Prince William and Kate like they’re already separated. Have you noticed that? While the cover story – reinforced endlessly by palace briefings – is that William, Kate and their three children absolutely ALL live at Adelaide Cottage together, I strongly suspect that nothing is as it seems. I also suspect that many in the press and the royal institution know that the Wales marriage is in pretty rough shape. I was just thinking about that as I read this curious update in the Mail about how Kate plans to join her husband and children in Balmoral this summer.
The Princess of Wales is set to join the Royal Family at Balmoral this month in what will be her longest journey since her cancer diagnosis, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Prince William and Kate have decamped to the 50,000-acre estate in the Scottish Highlands each summer since their wedding in 2011, but some insiders feared this year could be different due to the princess’s health.
Since the announcement that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy in March, Kate has mostly balanced her time between Adelaide Cottage, their home in Windsor, and Anmer Hall, their holiday home in Norfolk, which are around 125 miles apart. The Princess, 42, also travelled the short distance to London for Trooping the Colour in June and to Wimbledon for the men’s singles final in July, both of which are an hour’s drive from Windsor.
But sources have confirmed to The Mail on Sunday that Kate will join her husband and their three children north of the border this summer.
Her attendance will be seen by many as further reassurance that the princess is making ‘good progress’ after her diagnosis.
In June she told the public in an emotional message she was ‘not out of the woods yet’ and had ‘good days and bad days’, adding that her treatment would continue for ‘a few more months’.
[From The Daily Mail]
It’s not like William and Kate have ever stayed in Balmoral for the length of their summer vacation. They usually only go for about three or four days. Even when QEII was alive, they kept their visits brief. I guess the assumption this year was that William would bring the kids to Balmoral with or without Kate, and now KP is doing the most to ensure that “Kate is missing again” isn’t a conversation. That being said, no one checks for Kate anymore in the summer. She’s spent years going missing for three months every summer, so this seems pretty normal for her. My question is whether we’ll even see Kate before Remembrance Day in November.

Most cancer patients have to stay near where they get their treatments. How nice for Kate and Charles that they can pick up and go anywhere during (supposed) treatments. Of course, Kate will be there for the big “summit” about H&M. Would she miss the chance to plot against Meghan?
I don’t think it’s up to her if she joins the “summit” or any substential conversation or decision making.
She only knew a day in advance that she was gonna be good enough to show up on trooping and wimbledon, but for Balmoral, she already knows well in advance that she’s gonna be on a good day, which means she also already got her doc’s ok to go, she’s go the king’s approval to go, Camilla vetoed the colors she’ll be ok to wear, and Bald Prince William also allowed for her to go and join him withthe kids, and anyway, Kate never says no to a vacation proposal
William owns his own house at Balmoral so they do not need anyone’s permission to be there.
He stays there with his boyfriend Christian
Charles is a cancer patient himself and much older but they don’t discuss him travelling to Balmoral as if it is a medical miracle. The DM is playing games here.
Of course they are; I doubt either of them ever had cancer. They were panicked because their reputations were in the toilet. For good reason, but “cancer” was the best they could come up with.
Is the H&M summit now an annual event? lol. This family can’t even enjoy a family vacation and enjoy each other’s company without making Harry and Meghan front and center of their existence. They must all be suffering from serious depression and really could use some medical intervention.
Love how jealous they get over power couple Harry and Meghan
She has no cancer the whole thing is fake. When the PR team came up with this to get her fans to support her at least they shoudl have come up with something that is not so easy to goole. They painting her as a very sick cancer patient who cant work because of her cancer. But patient with real cancer does not get preventative chemo, that only goes to someone who is high risk of getting cancer had multiple family members that had cancer or she has the gen mutation, or had cancer but is now cancer free, it is for preventing the cancer to come back. She just wanted to win over people by faking it and getting her own vacation
If she is truly ill, she has my sympathy BUT if this illness is only to cover for some bad PR, guaranteed added vacation time or a flex during separation negotiations, that is pathetic and incredibly manipulative given her position in the RF and that she’s massively recompensed by the Public Purse.
Kate is joining the kids? She doesn’t have custody?
You go with your husband and children, not join them.
They speak of her as if she’s a complete separate entity from her own family. Kitty, you in danger, girl!
She’s joining “the Royal Family” and not “joining the rest of the Royal Family” which sets her apart as well. Royal rota getting in a dig.
Good eye! 👁️
The dm is all about drama. This is a big nothing burger but it’s much more interesting than ‘confirming the Wales will go to Balmoral’. As if there was any doubt whatsoever that Kate would be there. I mean, there is zero work involved for her and she is on vacation either at Balmoral or Anmer Hall.
She and Willie are not living together- Adelaide Cottage is Kates lone parent home
I was reading online speculation that she might make it to Paris, to watch the Olympics? Is that off?
In as much as she’d like to go, I think it will raise more questions. Cancer patients usually have compromised immune systems so it’s very strange to see her and Charles prancing around large events with no precautions which is what brings me to think they might be stretching the truth
Yes, I was wondering about that.
Caroline Malone’s claim that Charles did not have cancer, has been buried. As this post says, “nothing is ever as it seems,” with these people. And I agree, also, that most of the royal rota know the truth about that marriage, and the truth about any illness. There is no Forth Estate in that country.
I think it was the fact that every other European royal house was well and enthusiastically represented at the opening ceremonies and had been present supporting their country, and Anne went to some horse events and a swimming event and wasn’t at the opening, so most people just thought the Brits were not represented. So I think it was the media trying to push the Wales’ to get out there and be photographed and bring the kids. Silly media, they’re on vacation.
Which is so screwy, right? Most of the rest of us would consider going to Paris for a couple of weeks to attend the Olympics to be THE vacation of a lifetime! Yet these people would call it work, no doubt. And they’re not interrupting their summer vacation!
Also, c’mon DM, K&W don’t ‘decamp’ to Balmoral every summer. That suggests packing up loads of stuff for a good, long stay. They go up for a long weekend & that’s about it.
Yeah, it’s more like every third year.
Right @beaniebean, that’s what is hard for me to fathom. VIP status at the Paris Olympics and they still don’t go. Bc it’s beneath them or they’re too busy or whatever. But how many people would love that? The Spanish and Dutch royals put them to shame. And I say that as someone who no longer thinks royals should even exist.
No surprise 😕 vacation is the royal way of life 😕
Hmm so she’s going from one vacation spot to another or should I say they are vacation spot hopping. Why aren’t the press writing about non of the RF are in Paris supporting out athlete’s who are doing quite well. I know Anne was supposed to have gone but this could have been an opportunity to take the 2 older kids to some fun sporting events like the gymnastics, swimming etc.. and to also show some support to the women but what am I saying – these 2 have already told us they are not interested in supporting women’s sports/athletes.
Anne was there presenting medals for the equestrian team and Sophie was there because she is patron of one of the sports. If these two show up just to watch it will not look great seeing as how England has race riots going on all over the place and no one has visited the families victimized in Southport.
Ah I didn’t know Anne and Sophie were there and Starmer hasn’t visited Southport yet. I think the royals turning up might only inflame things even more – however the should at least send someone for the closing ceremony which am looking forward to (looking to see how LA represents).
I was shocked at how quickly those riots escalated across England – Robinson tried to entice some trouble in Scotland but Glasgow was like ‘nah’. Its laughable that he’s on holiday in Cyprus with his family but yet is one of the main instigators (along with Lozzy Fox and Farage). Reform getting into power has given these thugs legitimacy and Starmer has his work cut out for him to resort public order.
Again to correct myself – Starmer has visited Southport. Have been in a cave all weekend 🙁
Anne was there for all of last week – she’s Anne so there’s not a lot of coverage, but she visited the Olympic village etc.
That said you would think William would also try to attend a few events but nothing.
Starter has been to Stockport twice!
Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart got more headlines at the horse events than Anne did
(His Olympic commentary a few years back, they’ve been posting the clip again on Twitter, and it’s ended me. “Look, that horse is crip-walking! :starts beatboxing:”)
Anne’s returned home and Sophie’s there now. She’ll be watching hockey and cycling.
It was unlike waity to not be watching Novack win his gold medal as she can’t resist him can she?
I call bullsh*t. I’m sure the kids may go but this is just them trying to rub Harry’s face in it but Harry doesn’t care. I seriously doubt she will be going. Maybe Peg will bring someone else?
And if Kate goes, that place is enormous and she’ll be far away from Willy as possible.
Lazarus is worried she’s being forgotten especially, now Meghan is going to Columbia. Then of course there’s also the “Balmoral Summit” where her input will be vital to maintaining the stability of the House of Windsor. KCIII and Lazarus can swap stories about how they had concerns about the colour of health officials treating them! Then she’ll have a brief reminiscence with Camilla about how they laughed over Meghan’s baby bump!
How Lazarus joining the rest of the family in Scotland is somehow big news shows how little there is to say about her. Even allowing for her illness the woman is just a shallow non-entity with a fancy title who does very little to endear herself to the British public. If it hadn’t been for the internet conspiracy theorists no-one would have realised she was missing.
Ahh yes the Balmoral Summit because in the BRF are never to sick or cancer ridden not to hate and make a production of it.. now would be a perfect time to suspend their racist hate campaign against the Sussex’s.. its is destroying their country look at how all the racist hate they allowed to be spewed at Duchess Meghan spilled over onto everyone and is running wild now and rioting in the streets. A country led by a racist hatful King is being destroyed by that very same racist hatred.
Exactly, Hipocrisy!
Colombia
I guess she can travel depending on her treatment cycles, but it seems weird that she can travel to Scotland, attend Wimbledon, attend Trooping, and not do a single zoom call with a charity.
And yes the way this is worded – Kate “will join her husband and children” makes it sound like she’s traveling separately, maybe she’s just going for a long weekend and William is taking the kids for an extended stay……like Charles used to do when he had custody.
The press know what’s really going on and love to play these games. It’s not a story if she goes to balmoral or not. The UK has way more serious issues going on at the moment.
Yep, they know full well the Wales family is more fractured than a set of used fine china. This is just their way of getting their shots across. It must be Baldy’s turn to have the kids during the summer holidays this year.
For someone who only had a “few cancer cells” her treatment is taking forever. I’m currently on 3 months of chemo — 2 weeks on 1 week off. During my week off I feel pretty good and socialize, grocery shop, cook, do housework, and we’re even going to a resort near Tofino for a few days. I just mask up and get out there. I’m firmly in the “Kate never had cancer” camp. This is just a coverup for whatever hellscape her marriage became last December and whatever medical issues resulted from it. She has quietly quit while teams of lawyers work out settlement/living arrangements and cover off the Middleton’s financial debts.
@Jaded
For someone who is battling cancer, I would expect that you would eschew all bitterness rather than claim that someone who you do not know intimately nor have access to their medical record is lying about having cancer. Hasn’t this disease made you any kinder?
Jaded – ignore “Linda”‘s comment, I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern to comments under that name.
Yeah, seriously, Jaded, let that roll right off your back. Unbelievable.
The difference is, LINDA, Jaded is on a gossip web site, not directly addressing Kate, as you are. You derangers have the entire rest of the internet.
Preventative treathment that is what she got after her surgery it is 3-6 weeks long treathment not 7 months and only people get who are at risk of getting cancer not one who HAS cancer. It is not even close as bad as the real cancer treathment like the one the 75 year old King get’s and he is still working
Did anyone else feel like it’s a throwback to read about Kate? Idk the world has moved on and we don’t hear much about her since the big reveal at trooping.
Yup.
No one really cares about Princess Mannequin. Her job is to step out, smile, wave and go back in the box. This is supposed to be the thread that keeps the RF hanging by a thread. What a scam!
Will we even care if we see Kate before November?
No one anywhere will be heartbroken or even looking for her. I think she might get a few articles if the celebrate Katie Christmas show is canceled but it would soon be forgotten also.
@harla
Do we care if we NEVA see the C scammer?
Just what I was going to suggest. Would be great to never see or hear of her again.
I’ve always found it odd that there is never any mention of where Kate has to go for her ‘preventative chemotherapy’; we know Charles has to travel to London for his yet I have no recollection whatsoever of any article making reference to the arrangement for her.
Even in the excerpt above, they talk about travelling between Windsor and Norfolk but nothing about the logistics for her treatments.
It’s all very odd.
A good whack of *preventative chemo* is done by taking a pill. You take the pill for 3-5 years. (This is not difficult) I don’t think she ever had cancer, but that’s a different story.
What’s going on with Chuckie is an entirely different matter (maybe)/
Yeah, they’re well on their way to becoming the Invisible Monarchy.
The answer is no we won’t see her before remembrance day. I see the derangers holding out hope that she and William will go to Paris this week but that’s not happening.
Those two definitely don’t want the scrutiny of the world’s media. They would have to pretend to like each other in front of a literal wall of cameras. Did anyone else gape at the photographer’s pen in the gymnastics arena?
She’s such an outsider. What a sad life. I wonder if they are actively turning her children against her?
October? November? December? She’ll make an appearance at some point. The papers will react in a weird and sycophantic way, insulting cancer patients everywhere while propping up the princess. The usual. Rinse and repeat.
I’d be curious to tabulate if the announcement had any interest at all.
We’ll probably won’t see her before Remembrance Day but she’ll reappear there because she NEEDS to cosplay Meghan. Prepare yourself for the too-long pants !
“I strongly suspect that nothing is as it seems.” That’s my reaction to ANYTHING that is about the British monarchy. Their first instinct is always to lie. They never tell the truth about anything. You have to be either a sycophant and deeply gullible to believe otherwise.
This is big news? Hardly, this is just the dm creating a story out of nothing whatsoever. There is literally nothing stopping Kate from going to Balmoral. She will take whatever medical people are needed, her staff of 66 will do her and the rest of the family packing, and she will travel by helicopter.
I cannot imagine a drearier place to vacation than Balmoral with these royals.
My daughter and her family are in Scotland visiting now. They’re all wearing jackets in photos. The skies are dark grey. If that’s summer imagine winter.
Preventative chemotherapy? When has chemotherapy been preemptive? Like, just in case we’re gonna give you these chemicals that kill cancer cells even tho you don’t have cancer. I don’t think she has cancer. I think she’s taking time out from will, maybe as punishment or something. That’s prob why she looks so much better, rested than she has in years.
There is such a thing. I had preventative radiation therapy. However, I do question whether or not Kate is undergoing it.
Sometime the location is inoperable and chemo is given to prevent the cancer from spreading. Kate finally had a real platform to stand on. She could have been transparent about her cancer and treatment to raise awareness instead she decided to make some vague reverence to preventive chemotherapy.
A friend of mine was diagnosed with lung cancer which had spread, the treatment was chemo every other week, it was to prolong her life not cure her of cancer.
Oh, isn’t this special? Princess DoNothing can’t find the wherewithal to spend 20-30 minutes on Zoom uplifting and encouraging her favorite charities.
But she will gather her strength to go to Balmoral.
