Princess Kate and Prince William have expressed to King Charles how crucial they believe it is to spend time with him as he continues his battle with cancer, according to a royal commentator. 

Earlier this year, King Charles received a cancer diagnosis, which he shares with the Princess of Wales. Royal commentator Jennie Bond commended Kate and William for their recent visit to King Charles in Scotland., reported GB News.

She noted that Charles and Kate will share a unique connection, having both undergone cancer treatment in 2024.

She said regarding the couple’s trip to Balmoral this month: “Their visit underlines how important they feel it is to spend time with Charles.

“It’s been a few weeks since they’ve been together and I’m sure William in particular feels he wants to stay in close touch with his papa particularly as the King continues his cancer treatment.”

Bond continued: “Catherine and Charles share a truly special bond, undoubtedly strengthened by their shared experience with cancer.

“So, it’s not so much Scotland’s enchanting allure that drew them this time, but rather her and William’s desire to spend quality time with the King.”

A potential reunion between Prince Harry and King Charles next week remains uncertain. In February, the father and son had a 45-minute meeting at Clarence House after Harry returned to the UK upon learning of the King’s cancer diagnosis.

However, despite making two subsequent trips to the UK, Harry has not met with King Charles during either visit.

The King is preparing for his upcoming autumn tour to Australia and Samoa by embracing a renewed health regimen, focusing on nature and spending quality time with loved ones. 

A long-time proponent of alternative therapies, Charles has complemented his cancer chemotherapy treatment with a deep connection to the outdoors.

Insiders close to the monarch reveal that Charles believes his commitment to “getting plenty of fresh air and encouraging family visits” has played a significant role in his ongoing recovery, reported Mirror.

Known for his workaholic tendencies, the King has had to be “encouraged to pace himself,” but he has since found peace in prioritizing his health to regain his strength.

On October 18, the King and Queen will embark on a nine-day tour of Australia and Samoa, which includes a four-day stay in Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. 

In preparation for this first major international tour since his diagnosis, Charles has spent recent weeks at his Birkhall residence on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire.

A source said: “The King, by his very nature, is a workaholic. If he’s not on public engagements, he is working on the next set while staying across his government papers or responding to correspondence.

“He hasn’t really slowed down despite the protests from those around him, but it has been important to him to remain to be seen. Even during his treatment he was keen to make sure things were in place for him to make a full time return.

“Now things are moving in a very positive direction which has enabled him to make long term plans.”

Even when staying in Scotland for the traditional royal summer break, the King has undertaken engagements on the way down to London to “keep the train on the tracks”, as one royal source divulged.

Another source said: “These past few months have given cause for His Majesty to reflect on many things. Naturally, some of this has been on his own health and the way in which he wants to use his misfortune to create something positive, but equally he has considered what he wants to do when his treatment ends and he is back to full health.”

In February, 75-year-old Charles was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate after spending three nights in the hospital. 

Following a medical procedure, the King courageously chose to go public with his diagnosis, hoping to encourage other men to seek medical attention if faced with a similar condition.

King Charles issued a delightful message to mark a significant milestone.

On September 28, Buckingham Palace released beautiful throwback photos of the late Queen Elizabeth and the then-Prince Charles to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Scottish parliament. 

On the official social media pages of the royal family, the Palace’s spokesperson also released a notable statement. 

The message reads, “Today we are celebrating 25 years of the Scottish Parliament!” 

“The King, as Prince of Wales, attended the official opening of the Scottish Parliament with the late Queen and Duke of Edinburgh in July 1999.”

Moreover, King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the event, organised to celebrate the significant moment. 

Today, the King of England delivered a meaningful speech at the Scottish Parliament to mark its 25th anniversary.

King Charles said, “We are all, at the end of each day, united by our love of Scotland.”

He added, “Because of its natural beauty, of course, but also because of its strength of character, based as it is on the extraordinary diversity of its peoples, whose range of ideas, skills, energy, passions, and frequently deeply-held beliefs, never cease to inspire me.”

Notably, the King’s public appearance came days before his son Prince Harry’s much-awaited trip to the UK. 

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are gearing up to hit the road for Blink-182 tour and baby Rocky is coming along.

The 10-month-old was spotted in a brown onesie on Friday in mama Kourtney’s arms as they boarded the tour bus, with Travis.

The family of three was seen in New York City on the morning of September 27th before they got on the bus and headed towards the South. Blink-182 is set to play a concert in Ocean City, Maryland, which is where the family is heading to.

The socialite gave birth to Rocky in November last year in Los Angeles. The rocker’s baby is already getting a glimpse into the rockstar life as he joins dad on tour.

The child has previously made appearances on Kourtney’s social media posts but this outing marks the first appearance of the family together.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shares three children with her ex, Scott Disick, 14-year-old Mason, 11-year-old Penelope, and 9-year-old Reign.

The rock musician also has three children, 21-year-old Landon, 19-year-old Alabama, and 25-year-old Atiana, with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler.

Rocky is the couple’s fourth and youngest child.
