Experts claim that Kate Middleton, after completing chemotherapy, has leaned on her Christian faith, which deepened during her cancer journey.
Royal experts reveal that Kate Middleton, after completing chemotherapy, has leaned on her Christian faith, which deepened during her cancer journey.
Kate's beliefs have been a source of strength and connection, especially with her father-in-law, King Charles III, who shares her faith.
Meanwhile, Prince William is described as having a more reserved approach to religion, lacking the same interest in spirituality as his father or wife, Kate Middleton.
Kate Middleton Found Strength In Her Christian Faith During Cancer Battle, Experts Say
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Royal commentator Ian Pelham Turner noted that Kate, who revealed she had completed chemotherapy in September, leaned on her faith to find strength during her cancer journey.
"Information [has been] appearing about Kate and how, during the period of [her] cancer treatment… [she has] strengthened her values with her Christian faith by talking to friends who have strong religious values," he said, suggesting that these discussions "impacted positively on her recovery."
Helena Chard, a British broadcaster and photographer, also noted that the "Princess of Wales's health scare has been an emotional, stormy, unsettling, and worrying period of her life."
She added: "It doesn't surprise me that she is more interested in faith. The power of faith can never be underestimated in overcoming challenging times, and I hope [it] has given her immense solace."
Faith Guides Kate Middleton Through Life's Challenges And Inspires Compassion
The observations from Turner and Chard follow the release of a recent update to royal biographer Robert Hardman's book, "Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story."
In an excerpt shared by the Daily Mail, Hardman claims that the Princess of Wales has grown "more interested" in her faith since her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatments.
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich also told the publication that Kate's faith has been a guiding force throughout her life, instilled in her from an early age as she maintained her strong Christian beliefs Even after marrying Prince William in 2011.
"Faith is nothing new to Princess Catherine as she was raised in a devoutly Christian household, with her resulting faith contributing to her worldview and values," Fordwich noted, per Fox News. "She was christened as a child and confirmed into the Church of England preceding her wedding to Prince William. Even amid her cancer treatment, she was seen in public attending Sunday Church services in August at Balmoral's Craithe Kirk in the Scottish village of Crathie."
Fordwich added that Kate has "spoken often regarding spirituality in her life. Her religious beliefs are manifested in her dedication to serving others and promoting compassion."
Prince William's Reserved Approach To Religion Contrasts With Royal Tradition
While Hardman praises Kate for her faith in his book, he reveals that her husband, William, has a different view on religion, noting that those close to William describe him as "a modern young man" who "gets embarrassed by certain aspects of ceremonial and religion."
Hardman writes that in royal circles, "it is no secret that [Prince William] does not share the king's sense of the spiritual, let alone the late queen's unshakable devotion to the Anglican church."
Royal commentator Ian Pelham noted, "It is said, according to those in his inner circle, that Prince William has little interest in religious affairs."
Faith Reportedly Strengthened The Bond Between Kate Middleton And King Charles Amid Cancer Battles
On the other hand, reports suggest that faith has helped strengthen the bond between Kate and her father-in-law, King Charles III, as both navigate their battles with cancer.
"King Charles' faith is deep and strong," Chard noted, per Fox News. "He celebrates all kinds of spirituality and religious diversity. I like to think that the King and Princess of Wales discussed their faith during their stay at The London Clinic. The thought of King Charles toddling down the clinic's corridors to see his beloved daughter-in-law makes me smile."
In his book, Hardman emphasizes that Charles, now 75, has a faith "deeply rooted" in the Church of England.
The monarch is well-known as a global advocate for religious tolerance. He has upheld Christian values championed by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was widely admired for her steadfast beliefs.
