The impact of Kate and Charles’ cancer diagnoses makes the royal family look fragile. William and Harry should quit feuding, and together craft a resolute monarchy of the future.

may well depend on how well he handles it. It’s a double whammy for him: His wife and his father simultaneously stricken with cancers of unknown type and severity; an intimate family emergency and a grave constitutional one, too, since his father is the king.following her cancer diagnosis—then perhaps Kate’s devastating news may yet help forge a fraternal reconciliation that, as well as harmonizing family relations, could positively bolster the monarchy as its most fragile modern moment.

Now, nothing is certain. The communications disarray of the last few weeks, as William determined that they should keep their true family agonies secret until the kids were on school holidays and could be spared a paparazzi storm, is now understandable—but let’s be clear, that was just the overture to what now confronts William as the point man of a crisis that will bring new stresses every day.

It is significant that neither the king’s nor Kate’s cancers were diagnosed on their first admissions to hospital. The king was being treated for prostate problems when tests revealed the presence of a cancer elsewhere—otherwise, presumably, it might have gone undetected for longer. Kate had surgery for an unrevealed abdominal condition and was, at first, declared clear of cancer until the diagnosis on February 27 that caused William to miss the memorial service at Windsor for his godfather.
