Kate Middleton‘s family is there to support here, even through the most challenging of times.
The Princess of Wales’ brother James Middleton opened up about his oldest sister’s cancer battle and how Kate’s diagnosis—which she announced in March 2024—impacted their family.
“What I think is that, as a family, you learn to see and process and understand things,” the 38-year-old told The Times in an interview published May 12. “For her and her family, it was a challenging time, and I know for us and our bigger family, it was a challenging time, but I think it’s about communication and it’s about offering support and help where you can.”
Indeed, as James explained, he and the rest of Kate’s loved ones—including husband Prince William and their kids Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7—did their best to be there for her in ways that were most beneficial to her needs.
“Being there for someone is such an important part, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be on your terms, and it shouldn’t be on your terms,” he shared. “It should be on their terms; unconditional: ‘I’m not doing it for something in return. I’m doing it because I love you.'”
