The Prince of Wales celebrates his 42nd birthday this Friday, June 21. The heir to the throne of England is currently in one of the worst moments of his life, due to the illnesses that threaten the British Royal Family. Although Kate Middleton made her first public appearance in society after the announcement of her cancer on June 15, for the ceremony Trooping the Colour, Official sources confirmed that “he is not out of danger yet.” The princess attended the event accompanied by her husband and her three children, Jorge, Carlota and Luis, and enjoyed the parade led by Kings Charles III and Camilla.
William has had to face several of his father’s actions on behalf, since Charles III was also diagnosed with cancer after an intervention on his prostate. Without a doubt, one of the hardest years of his life that can only be compared with the loss of his mother, Diana of Wales. However, the prince is very clear that he does not want his children to live through the same traumatic experience that he and his brother Enrique suffered when they were only 15 and 12 years old.
The brothers participated in the documentary Diana, our mother: her life and legacy which aired in 2017. In this, they confessed the feelings they had been hiding since the tragedy. “Still now I can feel the hugs she gave us. I miss that, I miss that feeling, I miss that part of a family“I miss having that mother to be able to give you those hugs, give you that compassion that I think everyone needs,” Guillermo admitted.
For this reason, the princes of Wales, as soon as they heard the news of Kate’s cancer, decided to hide it from their children until they were ready, so they also caused the delay of the official announcement to the nation. The marriage does not let go of the hand and they are clear that their children come first. In fact, on June 16, her Father’s Day was celebrated in Great Britain and Middleton shared a most endearing image of her husband on social media.
In it, under the description “We love you, dad. Happy Father’s Day” Along with his initials, the prince was shown hugging his three children from behind, looking at the sea. A snapshot that has been taken by Kate on a day that she would feel stronger, due to the harsh preventive chemotherapy treatment that she is undergoing these months.
The British media wanted to analyze the body language of the image and The Mirror has turned to expert Judi James to find out all the details of their hug: “The contrast between the pose chosen by William to illustrate his own vision of fatherhood and the The pose he chose to celebrate his own father’s role in his life could hardly be stronger. Which suggests that, although he appreciates the type of education he received, he is determined to to forge something different for their own children.”
Furthermore, according to James, the future king is clear that he wants to begin a new stage in his monarchy: “William continually shows how he uses the lessons of his past to forge the type of family unit he considers more modern and ideal. His understanding of duty and loyalty seems strong, but he is also clearly determined to create a more casual and fun life for his own children than he or his father was allowed to enjoy.”
The future king of England will turn 42 and unlike the previous ones, he is expected to celebrate it intimately with friends, members of the Royal Family and, of course, George, Charlotte and Louis. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams thinks the Prince of Wales’s birthday will be “a reflective day” and will have more “somber” elements than on other occasions.
He also added: “I suspect it will be a day of quiet celebration, Depending on how Kate feels. William is the ideal diplomat and has achieved great success in his role as heir to the throne.” Unlike his brother, from whom he does not expect a congratulatory call. According to Fitzwilliams, it is unlikely that his show of support for William at such a difficult time will at least be made public.
“William does not trust his brother and the rift in the royal family continues, exacerbated by recent setbacks when Prince Harry visited London and said that his father was too busy to see him“explained the expert.
