Princess Kate Middleton made a sweet public comment about her relationship with Prince William while attending a special reception for Cancer Research on June 3, 2026. The event took place at St James’s Palace and marked the charity’s 125th anniversary. The mother of three attended alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla, while Prince William was not present. During the evening, the Princess of Wales met with guests, supporters, and public figures connected to the organization. But one interaction in particular quickly attracted the attention of royal fans, as it offered a rare glimpse into Kate’s feelings about her husband.
During a conversation with singer Ronan Keating and his wife, Storm Keating, the chat quickly turned to Prince William. Ronan asked Kate to pass along his greetings, saying, “Please say hi to William.” Then, Storm added “he’s such a gent,” and Ronan concluded with “Yeah, we love him.” Princess Kate, who was wearing a red eart-print dress from Rodarte, replied playfully with “So do I!” sparking laughter from the couple. While the Wales duo are often seen together at official engagements, they rarely make public remarks about their relationship, which made the exchange a rare and playful moment.
The event also carried personal significance for both Princess Kate Middleton and King Charles because of their experiences with cancer. Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis in 2024 and announced that she was in remission in January 2025. Since then, she has gradually returned to the royal spotlight, with 2026 becoming an active period for the royal. Meanwhile, King Charles continues to receive treatment after announcing his own diagnosis. The reception celebrated the achievements of Cancer Research and recognized the work being done to improve treatment and support for patients across the United Kingdom.
