About our William and Kate news
Latest news on Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, covering royal family, Kensington Palace, engagements, and cancer recovery.
Prince William, Prince of Wales, is first in line to the British throne as the elder son of King Charles III and the late Diana, Princess of Wales. His wife Catherine — widely known as Kate Middleton — is Princess of Wales and a senior working royal. The couple married on 29 April 2011 and are parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Kate's cancer diagnosis, revealed in March 2024 following abdominal surgery, defined a pivotal period for the royal couple. She announced she was in remission in January 2025 and spent that year making a gradual return to public duties. By May 2026, she was undertaking her first official overseas solo trip since her treatment, travelling to Italy for work connected to the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood — a cause she has championed since its launch in 2021.
William has continued to expand his public profile and environmental advocacy through the Earthshot Prize, his flagship initiative rewarding innovative solutions to climate and ecological challenges. The 2025 ceremony took place in Rio de Janeiro. He has also spoken openly about reshaping the monarchy for his generation, describing his approach as "doing it with maybe a smaller 'r' in the royal."
The couple's personal story — from their relationship at St Andrews University through their highly publicised wedding at Westminster Abbey — has made them among the most-followed figures in the world. Kate has used her platform to advocate for mental health awareness and early childhood development, while navigating intense public scrutiny alongside a serious illness. Her recovery has been widely seen as a demonstration of resilience that has deepened public affection for the Princess.
As the future King and Queen of the United Kingdom, William and Kate carry significant institutional weight, representing continuity for the monarchy while working to modernise it. Their three children — George, Charlotte, and Louis — are regularly seen at major royal occasions including Trooping the Colour and the annual Christmas service at Sandringham, offering the public a window into family life at Kensington Palace.
