Prince William made a special promise to Kate Middleton’s parents ahead of their royal wedding in 2011. The Prince of Wales, who is currently supporting Kate through her chemotherapy, pledged to her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, that he would always take care of her.
According to the Daily Mail’s royal correspondent Rebecca English, “He, more than anyone, knew the personal sacrifices she was making to be with the man she loved.” English added, “It’s why I know he will bend heaven and earth to be at her side now and do the best for their little family, however long it takes.”
Prince William and Kate are parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The couple tied the knot in 2011 at Westminster Abbey after a decade of dating. In September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, they were bestowed the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.
William’s commitment to Kate and her family highlights the depth of their relationship and his dedication to supporting her through both joyful and challenging times. His promise to her parents underscores the strength of their bond and his unwavering support for Kate and their children.
The couple’s enduring relationship has been a cornerstone of modern royal history, demonstrating their ability to navigate public scrutiny while maintaining a strong family unit. William’s vow to Kate’s parents before their wedding is a testament to his character and the seriousness with which he approached his commitment to her. This promise, now more significant than ever, showcases his dedication to being a supportive husband and father, especially during such a challenging period for their family.
