Holding onto love CATHERINE & WILLIAM'S VOW

The couple reveals what bonds them together and keeps them close

There's no guidebook on how to juggle a cancer diagnosis and months of treatment with being a mum of three young children and holding down an incredibly high-profile job.

But as the Princess of Wales continues to come to terms with life after her devastating cancer experience last year and ploughs on with royal duties, it’s always her kids who take precedence. She and husband Prince William are still navigating their new life post-cancer and learning important lessons as they go.

That has included talking to Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, about their mum’s illness. William, 43, has revealed it’s been a “balancing act” deciding what details to share with the kids, after Kate, 43, was diagnosed last February.

We choose to communicate a lot more with our children... most of the time, hiding stuff from them doesn’t work,” he said in a recent interview.

“We decided to tell them everything, the good news and the bad. We explain to them why certain things happen and why they may feel upset. Sometimes you feel like you are oversharing with the kids and you probably shouldn’t.
