At the beginning of this year, the British royal family found themselves in the spotlight due to health issues affecting two important members. Firstly, Kate, who has always been radiant, suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized for abdominal surgery. Although the specifics of the surgery were not disclosed, the news of her two-week hospitalization and the need for over two months of rest after the procedure highlighted the seriousness of the situation. Before people could fully process this news, the British royal family announced, just over an hour later, that King Charles needed to be hospitalized for prostate surgery. While King Charles was discharged quickly, it was later revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer during the surgery. Following this, Prince Harry, who was across the ocean, promptly returned to the UK to visit his father. The media erupted with speculation, and netizens expressed their concerns.
Prince William has canceled numerous scheduled royal engagements to take care of Kate and their three children. As a result, royal duties have fallen onto the shoulders of three female members of the royal family. They are Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie.
Speaking of the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, many may be unfamiliar with her as she is indeed one of the most low-key members among the core members of the British royal family. She is the youngest daughter-in-law of the late Queen Elizabeth II. She and Prince Edward, the Queen's youngest son, are the only original married couple among the Queen's children who have not divorced.
