Prince William enjoys 'low-key trip to pub with Carole Middleton' amid Kate's cancer treatment

Kate Middleton and Prince William have been marking their wedding anniversary today, 13 years after tying the knot at Westminster Abbey on 19 April, 2011.They were watched by 2,000 guests in the Abbey and a further 72 million around the world, but today has likely been a quiet, more sedate celebration for the family, a source told OK!. Our source said that while the family are currently dealing with Kate's recovery after her recent cancer diagnosis, they planned to make the most of the occasion privately.

Their love story began more than two decades ago as young students on the cobblestoned streets at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Now, as the Prince and Princess of Wales celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary, the poignancy of the marital landmark will surely not be lost as the princess continues her treatment for cancer.

It’s been 13 years since Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot in their iconic royal wedding at Westminster Abbey. In the years that have followed, the pair have enjoyed immense highs, such as the births of their three children Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, six.They have also had to face multiple challenges together, including the deaths of Prince Philip and the Queen, the fallout with Prince Harry and Kate’s recent cancer battle. Yet through it all, the couple, who first met at St Andrews in 2001, remain stronger than ever.

In a matter of days, The Prince and Princess of Wales will celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary. While this is impressive enough, the couple have been in one another's lives for more than twenty years. Very few of us need reminding that the royal couple met when they were both students at the University of St Andrews in Scotland in 2001.

Two significant milestones approach the Prince and Princess of Wales in the next few days, with their son Prince Louis turning six today (23 April), just days before they mark their 13th wedding anniversary on 29 April. Sources have indicated that Prince William and Princess Kate intend to prioritise family life and celebrate these milestones in a traditional manner.

Prince William has returned to official public duties today, Thursday 18 April, for the first time since his wife, Kate Middleton, revealed her cancer diagnosis.

Carole Middleton, as his wife, Kate Middleton, and his father, King Charles, battle cancer.The Prince of Wales, 41, and Carole, 69, were spotted hitting up a pub in Norfolk, England, on April 11 and she also spent Easter with William and his family last month.According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, Carole has been a “a pillar of support for Kate” and she “has stepped up in a major way” as her daughter recovers. On March 22, the Duchess of Cambridge, 42, announced via a video statement that she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year following a planned abdominal surgery.“The King” author told Fox News recently that Carole has been pitching in with the Wales’ kids — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, — to help give them “a semblance of normality in their daily lives” as Kate undergoes chemotherapy.Carole has also been a great deal of support for William, as she “has been the closest thing to a mother [he] has.”William’s mother, Princess Diana, died in August 1997 at the age of 36 in a car crash when he was 15-years-old.“She has always been there for him as much as he has for Kate.

As the Princess of Wales continues to take time out of the spotlight to focus on her treatment for cancer, she has been spending a great deal of time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. “Kate feels more at home in Norfolk,” a source told OK! “She’s got several close friends there.The Van Cutsems live nearby and so do Tom and Polly Coke [Cook].

The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to be considering plans to renovate and extend a redbrick annexe next to their Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor.The family - who moved to the Berkshire estate towards the end of summer in 2022 - currently split their time between the four bedroom cottage and their beloved Anmer Hall retreat on the Sandringham Estate. While Adelaide Cottage provides the perfect location thanks to its proximity to Lambrook School where Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are students, sources say the family are looking at plans to extend a currently empty annexe to aid in the princess' recovery.This decision, however, is said to not be without complications as the source explains that the Prince of Wales is "conscious of public scrutiny" about royal spending habits and is taking a measured approach about how to personally cover the costs.

Prince William and Carole Middleton are staying close as they support Princess Catherine through her cancer battle.

announcing his cancer diagnosis publicly in February, the 75-year-old monarch was forced to hit the brakes on much of his royal agenda and has undertaken less public-facing duties.The following month, his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton revealed that she, too, is in the midst of her own battle with cancer.As Charles continues to receive treatment for his condition, the Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly been at the center of ongoing succession talks — which have left them feeling “intensely anxious.”“News of Charles’ cancer has put William and Catherine in frightening proximity to ascending the throne,” former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown wrote, per the Mirror. “The prospect of it, I am told, is causing them intense anxiety.”Once William, the heir to the throne, becomes king of the United Kingdom, it’s expected that Middleton, 42, will be crowned queen and take on a lot more royal engagements than ever before.As two senior members of the Firm undergo treatment for their respective diagnoses, the royal family has been forced to undergo a major reshuffle.Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, have each taken on a more active role in the king’s absence.

He may come from a world of immense privilege but the Prince of Wales has been dealt a cruel hand in his personal life. With the deaths of his beloved mother and grandmother, the estrangement from his brother, his father’s cancer diagnosis and now his wife battling the same cruel disease, the list of people Prince William can turn to for personal support is limited.

Prince Harry and Prince William could reunite for a mutual wedding this summer as they've both reportedly received invites to the Duke of Westminster's big day in June.

respective cancer treatments.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be hoping for a temporary return to the UK’s royal fold, and have reportedly reached out to the Prince and Princess of Wales to make it happen.“A reconciliation with Harry and Meghan is totally possible, 100%,” the King’s former butler, Grant Harrold, exclusively told The Post. “I can believe, without any doubt, that Harry will be in touch with Kate and William and offering his help — whether they accept it or not is a very different matter, but I honestly believe Harry would have reached out personally and Meghan.”“Sadly, it’s times like this that brings families together and blood is thicker than water,” added Harrold.While they want to help the struggling royal family at a time of great emotional distress, it’s believed that the Sussexes are only interested in returning as working royals “on their own terms.”The Post revealed in February that Charles had been toying with the idea of having Harry back on a temporary basis, despite the Duke being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks.But it soon emerged that Prince William was reportedly “blocking” Harry’s return to the royal fold in a desperate bid to protect his ailing wife.Harrold’s hopeful comments echo a similar sentiment expressed by royal commentator and historian Richard Fitzwilliams, who said the current situation could provide the “perfect opportunity” to mend the royal rift.“This is a dread situation, a major operation followed by cancer,” he said this week.

The beloved home of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Clarence House is one of the smaller regal residences and something of a hidden gem. Nestled in the heart of London on The Mall, it is an oasis of calm amid the busy streets of Westminster, with secluded gardens in the shadow of neighbouring St James’s Palace.The house, built in 1825-27, was designed by architect John Nash for Prince William Henry, the Duke of Clarence – later King William IV.
