And with the royal couple overcoming a lot in the last two years with Princess Kate’s recent cancer diagnosis and recovery, royal experts have praised the pair as “more united today than ever”.
“They are a proper partnership, and theirs is a marriage based on friendship, love and mutual respect,” royal expert Katie Nicholl recently told OK!. “They’ve been to hell and back in the past year or two, but they look very, very strong together and they are clearly very in love.”

Going through cancer can make or break a couple, but we’ve heard William speak so movingly and openly about his love for his wife, and his admiration for everything she’s been through and navigated.”
