Sisterly Support: Pippa Aided Kate's Health Announcement
15 Feb
Summary
- Pippa Middleton helped write Princess Kate's video statement.
- The royal family rallied around Kate during her health challenges.
- Kate's family provided consistent support during her recovery period.
A new biography has revealed that Pippa Middleton, sister to the Princess of Wales, played a crucial role in writing the script for Kate's personal video statement. This candid address announced her cancer diagnosis and subsequent need for chemotherapy. The book highlights how the Middleton family rallied around Kate following her health challenges and post-operative tests revealed the presence of cancer.
Pippa's contribution to the script was a key element of the unprecedented public announcement. The Princess of Wales had decided to share her diagnosis openly, inspired in part by King Charles's earlier announcement and a desire to help others facing similar circumstances. Her video, filmed casually with daffodils in the background, also explained how she and Prince William were reassuring their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Beyond the script, the biography details the extensive support Pippa, along with their parents Carole and Michael Middleton, and brother James, provided to Kate and her family. This included regular visits to the Wales's home, quiet family dinners, and organizing playdates for the children. The Middleton family's home also served as a haven for weekends during Kate's temporary step back from royal duties.
