Last year saw bothKate MiddletonandKing Charlesreceive cancer diagnoses, the type and stage of which remain unknown to the public. (The palace did say earlier in 2024 that the King’s cancer is not prostate cancer, following his January operation for a benign enlarged prostate.)

That means thatPrince George, 11,Princess Charlotte, 9, andPrince Louis, 6, saw both their mother and their grandfather face a frightening diagnosis — and, while the Princess of Wales’ chemotherapy treatment has ended (as she announced ina Sept. 9 video message), the King’s cancer treatment will continue into the new year.

In an interview withHello!, Seward told the outlet that in 2025, “Kate will be wanting to spoil them a bit, because it’s very frightening for children when their parents are that ill.”

“So I think they will be up for a few treats this year,” she added.

Specifically, Seward said that she thinks the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, “might take the children skiing during the Easter holidays and will probably be planning a big summer holiday, because as far as we know they didn’t go anywhere last year.”

After Kate’s planned abdominal surgery in January, sheannounced her cancer diagnosisin a video message on March 22. Kate and the kids weren’t seen in an official public capacity until June 15’s Trooping the Colour, and were seen rarely last year afterwards as a group, save for the Sept. 9 video announcing Kate had completed chemotherapy and the kids’ Dec. 6appearance alongside their parentsfor Kate’sTogether at Christmascarol concert at Westminster Abbey. They closed the year as a family unit at Sandringham, with the entire family of five participating in the annual Christmas Day walk to church at St. Mary Magdalene.

“Like many famous parents, they are cautious about exposing the children to too much scrutiny in this digital age,” Seward said. “They know they must produce the children at certain times, but I think they very much keep them under wraps the rest of the time.”
