in
her
latest
missive
that
she’s
been “blown
away
by
all
the
kind
messages
of
support
and
encouragement,”
adding, “It
really
has
made
the
world
of
difference
to
William
and
me
and
has
helped
us
both
through
some
of
the
harder
times.”
The
Prince
of
Wales
has
also appreciated
these
public
displays
of
empathy,
the
future
king
not
minding a
pick-me-up,
either,
amid
such
trying
times.
“The
double
illness
has
placed
enormous
pressure
on
William,
both
as
a
parent
and
inheritor
of
the
family
business,”
royal
biographer
and
The
Crown historian Robert
Lacey
told
the
magazine. “It
has
brought
all
kinds
of
challenges.
He
[has
handled]
it
with
calmness
and
lack
of
drama.”
And,
Lacey
added, “From
what
we
know
of
their
personal
lives,
for
William
and
Kate,
spending
time
with
their
children
is
the
most
precious
and
enjoyable
thing
they
can
do.”
Kate’s
parents

also
among
the
couple’s
support
system,
William

since
his
days

Andrews,
