Kate Middleton and Prince William “going through hell”, claims stylist who worked with royal children

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

The Princess of Wales bravely revealed her cancer diagnosis to the public on March 22, following two months of speculation and conjecture as to her whereabouts and well being.

At the time of the shock announcement, few details were offered as to the specifics of her condition. The type of cancer 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 cancer, 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.”

“This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Middleton said.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”

Prince William returned to his royal duties recently, prompting optimism among those who thought it must be a positive sign that he felt ready to head back to work.

Yet a new report, following an interview with a clothing designer who has styled Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, paints an altogether bleaker picture.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Amaia Arrieta revealed: “I’m heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through hell, 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 cancer announcement.

The clothing designer wrote on social media at the time: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales and her family as she bravely faces cancer and undergoes preventive chemotherapy. We stand in solidarity with her, offering our support, strength, and unwavering hope for her well-being and recovery.”

Last week, Prince William offered a rare update on his wife, insisting that she and the rest of the family were doing okay.

During a public appearance last Tuesday, William was asked by a woman: “Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?”

We’re all doing well, thank you,” William responded.

“And obviously Catherine?” pressed the woman.

“We’re all doing well,” said William.
