It seems Pippa Middleton helped her sister Kate Middleton more than anyone thought with her cancer diagnosis.
In Russell Myers’ new book, William and Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story, which is set to be out March 10, via Mirror, it seems Pippa played a major role in Kate’s cancer announcement. He wrote, “Catherine had already decided to make a personal statement. She had seen the positivity and warmth that had greeted the King when he had been so open about his own diagnosis. More than that, though, the princess believed that her experience could benefit others in similar distressing circumstances. Catherine’s family rallied round, with her sister Pippa helping to write the script for the short video statement.”
(Not only that, but Pippa and the rest of the Middleton family held “quiet evening dinners” and “playdates to keep the children entertained” during Kate’s cancer treatments.)
If you need a recap, back in March 2024, Kate made the announcement that she had cancer.
She famously started the announcement video by saying, “I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery.”
The Princess of Wales ended by saying, “At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
So it seems Pippa helped out so much behind the scenes, especially in this pivotal moment!
And this isn’t a huge shock when you remember what insiders said back in the summer of 2024. A property expert told GB News that Pippa’s move to the Berkshire countryside caused her and Kate’s children to foster “a closer relationship.”
Liam Gretton, an estate agent, shared some insights with the outlet.
“As a bespoke estate agent, I often see families choosing to move closer together for support and connection. It’s clear that family unity is important in today’s digital world, whether you’re related to the Royal Family or not,” he said. “Proximity allows for more frequent interactions, which naturally strengthens family bonds. Being closer enables Pippa and the Princess of Wales to support each other more readily, fostering a closer relationship not just between them, but also among their children.”
It was also claimed Pippa was Kate’s “rock” throughout her cancer diagnosis, and early in her diagnosis, Pippa cleared her schedule to help out with Kate’s kids, per DailyMail.
