Prince William Proves He Isn’t Afraid to Be Vulnerable In New Message: ‘We’re in a New Era’

<p id=”par-1_67″>The royal family never used to be the type of family that would show too much emotion. They never had a ton of public displays of affection, spoke out about problems or conflicts, or let anyone truly know what they were thinking. Even when Kate Middleton and King Charles were <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-imposes-strict-rule-protect-kate-scotland-amid-cancer-battle.html/”>both diagnosed with cancer</a> in the same year, little was said about how each person was doing.</p>

<p id=”par-2_42″>Now, though, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/prince-william/”>Prince William</a> appears to be shifting the narrative a bit. The prince just sent a heartfelt message to his wife on her birthday, and it one expert believes it is the start of a “new era” for the royal family.</p>

<p id=”par-3_61″>While Kate was undergoing chemotherapy last year, very little was said about how she was doing. When asked, William would often just say that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-william-delivers-public-message-kates-cancer-treatment-going.html/”>the princess was doing well</a>. Then, in an interview while on a trip to Africa late last year, William opened up a little more; he said it had been a “brutal” year for him and his family.</p>

<p id=”par-4_64″>When Kate’s birthday came on January 9, William wrote her a heartfelt <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DEmcGLVtDPz/”>Instagram</a> message, opening up and getting more vulnerable about the family’s love for her. “To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable … We love you,” part of the caption read, and it was signed “W,” meaning it was written by William.</p>

<p id=”par-5_94″>Body language expert Darren Stanton, speaking for <a href=”http://www.jeffbet.com/”>JeffBet</a>, said that this was a “new era” for William. “For someone to make such an overt display of public affection, whether it’s physical or a statement on social media, it usually means they are confident to speak this openly behind closed doors,” Stanton said, via <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1998643/prince-william-princess-kate-birthday-message”>Express</a>. “This is not the behavior we’ve typically seen from older royals, but it shows we’re in a new era. William clearly loves his wife, is forging his own path as the future king, and isn’t afraid to show his emotions.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_57″>Prior to Kate’s diagnosis, she was taking on a royal engagement every couple of days. But there will likely be a shift in how much she appears in the public now that she is cancer-free. The princess has put a major focus on her health and her personal life, mostly being a mother to her three children.</p>

<p id=”par-7_40″>After going through such a life-changing experience, experts believe Kate will <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kate-middleton-royal-duties-wont-look-expected-steering-new-course-balancing-work-life.html/”>no longer be in public</a> multiple times per week for royal engagements. Rather, she’ll take them with less frequency and be home to spend more time with her children.</p>
