Kate Middleton Spoke With King Charles Before Revealing Cancer Diagnosis in Video: Royal Expert (Exclusive)

Royal expert Katie Nicholl tells ET more about bond between the king and Princess of Wales as they get treatment for cancer diagnoses.

Nicholl tells ET's Nischelle Turner that aside from the 75-year-old monarch's visit to his daughter-in-law at the London Clinic, where she had surgery before his own procedure, palace sources confirm "the king had lunch with Catherine on Wednesday in Windsor after she recorded [her video] message." "The fact that she decided to speak out and talk about this and really take ownership of her health and her journey, I suppose in some ways she was following in the king's footsteps because that is what he did," Nicholl says of Kate's decision to announce her diagnosis. ET has learned that Kate and Prince William, 41, were seen departing Adelaide Cottage in Windsor by helicopter on Saturday with their children to head toward Anmer Hall, located on the Sandringham Estate.
