Real cost of Kate Middleton’s battle with cancer

The world was happy then Princess Kate announced her cancer was in remission – but sources revealed her brutal battle against the devastating disease has taken a bigger toll than she is willing to admit by stealing her zest for life.

A palace source said this RadarOnline.com: “Kate is emotionally paralyzed by the brutal impact of the cancer and its treatments had on her.

‘She is mentally and physically exhausted and flounders through even the simplest tasks.

“The people around her have noticed that she has lost her spark and enthusiasm.”

On October 10, the 42-year-old Princess of Wales attended her first public appearance since then complete chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

Alarming photos from the event show the future Queen of England looking haggard and tired with noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

But the loving one mother of three didn’t let her personal struggles stop her from going unannounced with her husband, Prince Williamon a grim mission to comfort the heartbroken families of three children and a teacher killed in a brutal knife attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

Kate has reportedly decided to join William “to show her support, empathy and compassion for the local community.”

But the “emotional visit” was tough on an already exhausted Kate, who is now a “shell of her former self,” the royal source said.

If RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kate was blinded by cancer almost at the same time King Charles turned out to be bothered by it own malice.

And while the brave royal has completed her chemotherapy treatment, 75-year-old Charles is still lying low its own treaties cancer treatments.

According to other royal sources, Charles has little time for the fate of his daughter-in-law.

The insider noted, “She forces herself to make everyone happy, especially King Charles, but it’s very clear she’s not back to normal.”

When Princess Kate shared the news, she was cancer free in an emotional video released on September 9 and featuring William, 42, and their children, George11, Charlotte9, and Louis6, she looked vibrant and hopeful.

But she also admitted that “cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable” and sources say she is struggling more than she lets on.

The courtier said, “It is not in Kate’s nature to complain, but you have only to look at her to see how exhausted she is.”

There have also been several closed-door meetings in recent weeks in the Court Circular, which seems to indicate that it is ‘business as usual’ for her.

“She puts a lot of pressure on herself,” the source said.

‘She feels like the family needs her to step up, but the concern, of course, is that she’s pushing herself way too hard.”

Kensington Palace has now announced this she will probably be there the National Service of Remembrance this month and will host its annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December.

The source said: “This should be a time for Kate to take it easy, but that doesn’t seem to be allowed.

“Many people are concerned that her long-term health will suffer. It’s a shame they can’t just let her rest!”
