After weathering one of the hardest chapters of their lives, Prince William and Princess Kate are stepping into 2025 with renewed purpose—both as public figures and as partners. The couple is expected to make several joint appearances this year, with royal experts already calling them a “power duo” poised to shine on the world stage. But for William, this moment is about more than just duty—it's about treasuring the second chance he nearly lost.
In March 2024, Princess Kate publicly revealed her cancer diagnosis, sharing in a candid message that she would begin chemotherapy. For months, she remained largely out of the spotlight to focus on her treatment. Then in June, she made her first public appearance at Trooping the Colour, reassuring supporters that she was still undergoing chemotherapy but feeling strong enough to stand with her family once again.
By September, the mother of three announced she had completed treatment and was “cancer free.” And in January 2025, Kate confirmed what so many had hoped for—she was officially in remission.
“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery,” she wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. C.”
Through it all, William never left her side.
According to a royal source who spoke to Closer (via The Sun), “William has been incredibly supportive through Kate’s cancer—he’s really proven himself to be a remarkable partner when the going gets tough.”
The insider added that the couple has been making a conscious effort to prioritize each other and their relationship. “His big focus has been on making the most of their time and this second chance at life together,” they said.
That mindset is now shaping everything from how they parent to how they travel. Their summer calendar includes the usual family getaways to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly—but the couple is also dreaming up something just for themselves. A romantic retreat, just the two of them, is in the works—possibly even a return to the Seychelles, where they honeymooned in 2011.
The past year tested Prince William in ways few could imagine. With both his wife and father, King Charles, battling cancer simultaneously, the pressure—both personal and professional—was immense. But according to those close to the family, he rose to the moment with quiet strength.
“William really stepped up during Kate’s illness—he took on so many extra duties even in the midst of supporting and his considerable heartache worrying about her,” the source shared. “He has been the most doting husband, and everyone, including Kate, says so.”
Now, as the Princess of Wales moves forward in recovery and the couple returns to the public stage together, it’s clear that their bond—like their shared sense of purpose—has only deepened.
