King Charles's speech at the Maundy Thursday mass was highly anticipated, given the recent tragic events that have affected the British royal family, notably the cancer cases of Sarah Ferguson, King Charles III and Kate Middleton, as well as the suicide of Thomas Kingston.

The solitary presence of Queen Camilla at mass at Worcester Cathedral accentuated the weight of these trials. In his moving speech, King Charles certainly touched on poignant topics related to the health and well-being of his family, but he failed to mention a topic crucial to ardent admirers of royalty.

This omission has surely raised questions and speculation among observers, who are still awaiting news regarding the members of the royal family and their state of health. Despite these difficult times, the British royal family continues to face these challenges with dignity and resilience, while enjoying the support and sympathy of the public.

The participation of King Charles III in the Maundy Thursday ceremony was highly anticipated, even if his treatment prevented him from making the trip in person.

However, his presence was marked by a recorded speech broadcast during the service, where he expressed his sadness at not being physically present. He emphasized the importance of friendship in difficult times and the valuable help that loved ones provide in such situations.

Despite the palpable emotion of his speech, royal fans' expectations were dashed as the king made no mention of his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, and her battle with cancer.

This omission left a void for those hoping to hear news or words of comfort regarding the princess, who revealed her illness to the world on March 22. Princess Kate Middleton, currently undergoing preventive chemotherapy, revealed her illness to her father-in-law during a one- on-one lunch, although they both face similar health problems.

It seems the king decided to give her some space, especially after she flew off with Prince William and their three young children (George, 10, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5) to their country house to rest for three weeks.

It is likely that the Queen's message was recorded before the official announcement of Kate's illness was made, thus explaining the lack of mention of it. Queen Camilla, dressed in a white coat, personally collected the many messages and cards intended for her, highlighting the massive support enjoyed by Kate Middleton. This demonstrates the unity and solidarity of the royal family in these difficult times.
