This is a problem for the royal family because Charles will pass before too long and William will become King, if Kate passes away then there will not be a Queen to take on those royal duties and it will be tricky getting the public to accept a second wife for William as Queen, for many years if ever.

I know that’s a cold hearted thing to say about someone who seems to be a very lovely person. I wish her the best.

The Royal Family has roles and duties in the UK, that are important in a social context, and Kate is one of the most active of them. With Prince Harry and Megan Markle out of the picture, the Queen gone, Charles old and ill, William and Kate are most of the Royal Family’s remaining “manpower” so to speak. Losing Kate would be a serious blow.
