Kate Middleton’s Cancer Journey Has Reportedly Made Her “More Interested” in Faith

Kate Middleton, like anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, has been through a tough year. After announcing she’d completed chemotherapy in September, she’s slowly been returning to royal duties as she continues to recover—and one royal biographer claims that faith has been a part of cancer journey.

In Robert Hardman’s updated version of Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story (serialized in the Daily Mail on Nov. 2), the author wrote about matters of religion and how they impact members of the Royal Family on different levels.

While King Charles is well known to uphold “the late Queen’s solid devotion” to the Anglican church, Hardman shared that Prince William does not have the same “interest in faith and spiritualism” as The King. Despite both his wife and father being diagnosed with cancer this year, Hardman noted that a source told him there was “no change of course there” in terms of William’s religious beliefs.

An insider told the author that the Prince of Wales “is a modern young man and I think he gets embarrassed by certain aspects of ceremonial and religion.”
