Catherine, Princess of Wales, a central figure in Britain's royal family, has won fans for her role alongside her husband Prince William.
The former Kate Middleton, 42, met William at university, where they shared a house together as boyfriend and girlfriend, before getting engaged and then married in 2011.
It comes at a time when King Charles III is also battling cancer and Catherine had been seen as one of those able to step in to keep the royal show on the road during his recovery. In the UK, female royals are inevitably compared to William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, whom prime minister Tony Blair described as “the people’s princess” after her death in 1997.
In contrast, Kate was born a “commoner” – albeit a wealthy one – whose parents were a symbol of aspirational social mobility. Beyond her passionate support for charities working in early years education and mental health, Kate has steered clear of the constant rumour and gossip associated with her high-profile role.
Royal officials circulated a family photograph of Kate and her children, said to have been taken by William, to put to bed mounting online rumours about her well-being and whereabouts.
