Kate’s parents have been a constant support to her during her treatment. Carole, 69, and her father, Mike, 74, have been staying with the family at Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate.

The Daily Mail reported that the outing was a “very low-key” affair with hardly any “great fanfare”. The British publication reported, “He just walked in and through the pub. He appeared to be with Carole Middleton. There was no sign of Catherine, who is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.”

According to media reports, the family is enjoying the Easter Holiday. Kate and William will send their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, back to school in Berkshire on April 17.

William, Kate in focus as Charles undergoes treatment

Royal expert Tina Brown earlier published an op-ed in The New York Times. She wrote, “Catherine is the most popular member of the royal family after William. The future of the monarchy hangs by a thread, and that thread is her.”

As per the expert, King Charles may not play a major role any time soon, especially since he has also been undergoing cancer treatment.

“Help from other family members is scant. The slimmed-down monarchy that Charles always promoted is suddenly looking very lean indeed. Charles’s cancer has put William, 41, and Catherine in frightening proximity to ascending the throne and could be causing the couple intense anxiety,” she added.

The severity of Charles’ cancer has not been revealed. However, sources disclosed to The Sun that Charles was considering an Australia trip later in 2024.
