There was relief as Kate stepped cautiously back into the spotlight, but sad new details from behind the scenes have emerged. Having been diagnosed with cancer and undergoing the gruelling treatment of chemotherapy , there was never any doubt that the Princess of Wales ’ year has been a tough one. Kate herself admitted in June that while she was tentatively planning to ease back into official duties, she was not “out of the woods yet” – and sources close to her have now revealed how much worse the situation was behind closed doors.
According to the Daily Mail ’s royal editor, Rebecca English, it’s been a “rough, rough time” for both the Princess and her husband, Prince William – and that it’s been the “toughest year of their lives together”. “It’s been a rough, rough time, a really difficult year for the entire family. And as she herself said, she is not out of the woods yet,” a source told the reporter.
