Princess Charlotte had a relatable reaction to seeing Prince William give Kate Middleton a sweet kiss on the cheek in a recent family video announcing that Kate had completed chemotherapy. Regardless of who your parents are, they can still be embarrassing. This is why 9-year-old Princess Charlotte’s reaction to her parents’ affectionate moment is so understandable. After Kate shared that she had finished her chemotherapy treatment in a September 9 video featuring the entire family, fans noticed a fleeting but amusing moment from Charlotte.
Towards the end of the video, while the family celebrated Kate’s news on the beach, William gave his wife a gentle kiss on the cheek as she lay in the sand. Charlotte appeared completely astonished by this brief, affectionate gesture. One user on social media humorously noted that Charlotte seemed to be saying, “REALLY PAPA?!” Such moments of family interaction are plentiful in the three-minute clip. Other instances include William heroically removing an insect from Charlotte’s hair, only to playfully scare her with it shortly after. Additionally, George was caught in a close-up shot questioning whether the camera was on, while his younger brother enthusiastically greeted the audience multiple times.
This cheerful family scene serves as a backdrop to the positive news about Kate’s cancer treatment. Kate herself expressed relief, saying, “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.” She also acknowledged how the past nine months since her diagnosis have been challenging for her family. Reflecting on this period, Kate noted that it has made her and William appreciate the simple yet significant aspects of life, such as love and being loved.
Looking to the future, Kate mentioned she would slowly resume her royal duties in the coming months but stressed that her primary focus is on staying cancer-free. “Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long, and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” she said. She also shared her gratitude for the support her family has received and had an encouraging message for others facing similar health battles: “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.”
