"Their strength and unity in the face of such personal adversity is a source of inspiration," commented a royal correspondent.
"It's a reminder of their commitment not only to their roles but also to each other."
As they both undergo treatment, the royal family has rallied around them, offering support and maintaining a hopeful outlook for the future.
The lunch between Kate and King Charles was more than a meal—it was a shared moment of resilience, a quiet affirmation of their unwavering bond and determination to face their health challenges with grace and courage.
