With the Princess of Wales, Catherine, remaining largely out of the spotlight as she continues her preventative chemotherapy for cancer, Victoria Beckham has been keen to offer her support. Victoria has reached out to Catherine during this challenging time, and the Princess is said to be touched by the tens of thousands of get-well cards and gifts arriving at Buckingham Palace. Despite earlier indications that Catherine might be keen to attend events when she feels able, there are now rumors that she may not return to public life until 2025.
As we look ahead, any events where the Princess of Wales might make an appearance will be met with anticipation and hope. Catherine is feeling conflicted about her future public appearances. She wants to express her gratitude to fans but understands the importance of taking the time she needs to fully recover.
A source close to Victoria Beckham reveals that Victoria has been deeply concerned about Catherine. She and David have sent numerous supportive messages, but Victoria wants to do more. She is considering sending the Princess a pamper package featuring some of her favorite items from her own range, as well as treats she knows Catherine will appreciate. Although there are strict protocols around sending gifts to the Royals, Victoria is determined to ensure it’s done as a gesture of friendship rather than from her business, aiming to lift Catherine’s spirits while maintaining their bond.
Both Victoria and David Beckham have received OBEs during their careers, and while the Princess of Wales and Victoria are not publicly known to be close, Catherine’s wardrobe has featured VB designs. The Princess was seen in a cream knit dress from Victoria’s collection in January 2023 and stylishly wore a pair of Vic’s sunglasses at Wimbledon last summer. She is also reported to own a VB white Quincy bag. Although they come from different worlds, Victoria understands the pressures and scrutiny Catherine faces. She is eager to strengthen their friendship, especially as David grows closer to the Royals.
Once Catherine has fully recovered, Victoria hopes to collaborate with her, style her, and see her using Victoria’s products. It would be the ultimate endorsement for Victoria’s brand. Meanwhile, the Princess feels deeply torn. While she knows she needs to focus on her health and family, she is also touched by the outpouring of support and feels a sense of guilt and pressure to give back to the public.
At the beginning of 2024, it was revealed that Catherine had undergone abdominal surgery, which necessitated a prolonged hospital stay. Following her operation, speculation and conspiracy theories spread online. Catherine eventually addressed these rumors by announcing that she had cancer and was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
For those curious about preventative chemotherapy, cancer specialist Carol Sakur explained that the treatment targets residual cancer cells post-surgery to prevent the disease from recurring. It typically lasts for six months and is designed to reduce the risk of the cancer returning. While the treatment days are manageable, the subsequent days can be exhausting and unpredictable.
