The event has had fewer people invited as the 75-year-old monarch has been undergoing cancer treatment. Earlier in January, he was diagnosed with cancer, the type of which has not been revealed yet. 

While the cancer was diagnosed while he was getting treated for prostate enlargement, it has been clarified that King Charles’s cancer is not related to his prostate issues.

Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has also been diagnosed with cancer. Since her abdominal surgery in January, she had been away from the public eye; it was notified by Buckingham Palace that she would make her first public appearance on Easter. However, at that time, her cancer diagnosis was not disclosed.

Later on March 22, Kate disclosed her cancer diagnosis via a video message and called it a “huge shock”. She also said that William and she had explained everything to their three children, Prince George Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment, ” Kate said in her message.

She has been undergoing chemotherapy for her cancer. The 42-year-old princess, along with her husband and three children, spent the Easter weekend privately at home, as per PEOPLE. Since the children had a half-term break from school, the family had time to spend private time during Kate’s recovery.

“She has the inner strength, the support of her husband and her extraordinary family, so she can focus on what’s important, which is her getting back to strength,” Ailsa Anderson, a former spokeswoman for Queen Elizabeth, told PEOPLE.
