Kate Middleton paid surprise visit to cancer patients at Royal Marsden hospital where she underwent preventative chemotherapy
Kate Middleton received praises for her “un-victim like” approach during her recent visit to the Royal Marsden hospital, where she underwent cancer treatment last year.
According to royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths, it was a noble aspect of the Princess of Wales’ personality that she focused on supporting cancer patients, rather than seeking sympathy for herself.
Comparing Kate to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Griffiths told GB News, “Every time somebody said, ‘oh, you did a really good job looking after your children’, she would take the compliment and then change it back to the cancer patient.”
“She’s been through hell and back but she does not want sympathy. She just wants to support these people,” she added.
Another royal expert, Ingrid Seward also heaped praises on Kate Middleton over her hospital visit and her handling of the cancer patients.
Speaking with The Sun, she said, “When Kate met staff and patients, you felt the hugging and the comfort she was giving them was incredibly genuine.”
Seward said the Princess has “handled this so brilliantly” and has “come into a sort of saint like position.”
“When someone has been through something as life threatening as Kate has there’s a huge amount of thanks and love,” she added.
