Young royal becomes a quiet source of strength for Catherine during her cancer recovery
Catherine has found steady, heartfelt support during her cancer treatment from someone very close to home: her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
A source close to OK! magazine says Charlotte has been a calming presence for her mother throughout a difficult period. According to the insider, the young royal has an instinctive way of lifting Catherine’s spirits, often knowing exactly what to say when her mother is feeling tired or under pressure.
The source described Charlotte as showing a level of emotional awareness well beyond her years, noting that she quickly senses when Catherine is feeling worn down and makes an effort to brighten her mood without being asked.
Those close to the family believe these qualities echo traits seen in the late Queen Elizabeth. The insider said Charlotte appears to share the same mix of poise and sharp wit, adding that she is gentle by nature but confident enough to hold her own at home, including with her brothers.
All of this, the source explained, helped Charlotte be a quiet source of encouragement for her mother during treatment. She has been described as an inspiration who helped Catherine stay focused and positive through a challenging time.
“She really has been a small pillar of strength,” the insider said, adding that Charlotte already shows signs of becoming a composed and resilient figure in the future.
Beyond this emotional support, the bond between mother and daughter is said to be strong in everyday life too. Another source shared that spending time together has brought them even closer, especially through shared interests such as tennis, hiking and watching rugby.
