King Charles’s Unprecedented Honour To Mark Catherine’s Big Milestone In His Inner Circle
The Prince and Princess of Wales are excited for what should be a successful 2025. The couple went through so much in 2024, and now the Princess is cancer-free and has returned to royal duties. She is also preparing to celebrate her birthday but is reportedly still taking time to get back into full health.
In breaking news today, Palace reports reveal that the Princess of Wales has been entrusted with a significant role, described as a key player in King Charles’s team. Her contributions are considered vital to securing the future of the Royal Institution. Known for her grace and resilience, Catherine possesses what many might call a unique ability to captivate, even during her most challenging moments. She remains the shiniest jewel in the Windsor’s Crown.
Last year’s highlights—Trooping the Colour, Wimbledon, Armistice Day, Christmas at the Abbey— all belonged to her. It’s a tremendous amount of pressure for one woman. As His Majesty continues to battle the disease, his daughter-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, continues to win praise for her powerful videos, which saw her get candid about her struggle.
This year, the Welleses don’t usually do anything too wild for their birthdays, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that they are choosing to stay low-key once again for Catherine’s special day. Very little is known about what the two do, but they have always put a strong emphasis on family and most likely will spend the Princess’s day with their children.
If you look at Kensington Palace and the way they’ve handled this, they’ve been very careful. William previously said that 2024 was a brutal year for his family and that he looked forward to potentially taking some trips with Catherine in 2025—likely formal royal engagements, but perhaps a vacation or two.
In contrast to decades and even centuries past, the future Queen pivoted her message to include those in the general public suffering from this deadly disease. What is also so special about it is the way that the public was invited into this painful journey, this discovery, and the empathy with everybody else who has been through a similar testing circumstance.
His Majesty also ended the year with a common touch when he decided to film his annual Christmas message from a hospital chapel instead of one of those luxurious palaces.
Additional reports suggest the King’s cancer treatment will extend into next year, though his condition is being managed, giving him the strength to continue his royal duties. As the new year approaches, the Monarch’s crown remains steady, while the next Queen Consort prepares to step up sooner.
After a rollercoaster year, Prince William has emerged as the Royal Family’s new rock. He’s a reincarnation of his late grandmother, also calling the future King a steadfast anchor, who changed it up with designer stubble, referring to William’s much-discussed facial hair throughout the latter half of 2024.
While Catherine’s cancer treatment has ended, the King will continue into 2025, with Palace sources confirming on December 20th that the treatment is moving in a very positive direction. As the one-year anniversary of Charles’s own announcement about his cancer approaches, aides have signaled that Charles will continue treatment as a managed condition.
The nation fell in love with Diana’s firstborn all over again, adding that the naysayers who doubted William’s meddling have been forced to rethink. Charles may never be the star turn his late mother was, or that his son is fast becoming, but he could make a name for himself as a monarch who oversees much-needed root-and-branch reform.
The King’s Foundation, founded by the then Prince of Wales in 1990, is making headlines as a former manager allegedly failed to operate it to the standards established by the office of the Scottish Charities Regulator. Reports of the inquiry found that some of the former CEO’s actions resulted in the charity being exposed to substantial risk. Michael Faet, the former chief executive of the charity, left his position in 2021 over serious allegations.
It stated that in considering these issues, the evidence does not indicate or demonstrate a sustained pattern of inappropriate governance or serious failings in the governance of the charity as a whole. This new claim uncovers issues said to be the result of a years-long investigation stemming from allegations that a foreigner was offered help in securing both citizenship and a knighthood in exchange for his donations.
