King Charles Mentioned Kate’s Cancer Battle in a Personal Christmas Day Speech
After a tough year for the royal family, King Charles and Kate Middleton’s health issues were top of mind as the monarch gave his annual Christmas speech on December 25. On Wednesday, Charles departed from 18 years of tradition as he addressed the nation at a former hospital chapel instead of a crown residence–a seeming shout-out to the health care community after he and Kate were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
