“Mom, Please Stay Strong” – Prince George Cries and Clings to Kate Middleton After Her Fifth Lengthy Chemotherapy Session: “They Told Me to Pray for Her… Because We Might Never See Her Again”
In a scene no parent should ever have to witness, Prince George, just 10 years old, reportedly broke down in tears beside his mother, Princess Catherine, following her fifth and most grueling chemotherapy session. As the Princess of Wales continues her fight against a rare and aggressive form of cancer, the emotional toll has reached the heart of the family’s youngest generation — and touched the entire nation.
Sources close to the royal household describe a devastating moment inside Adelaide Cottage, the family’s Windsor home. After returning from the hospital late in the evening, weakened and pale, Catherine was met by George, who had been waiting anxiously with his siblings, Charlotte and Louis.
“Mom, please stay strong,” George reportedly whispered as he threw his arms around her. “They told me to pray for you… because we might never see you again.”

Though the Palace continues to request privacy and space, public concern has only grown. Thousands of supporters have gathered outside royal residences leaving flowers, cards, and children’s drawings — many addressed directly to Prince George and his siblings. The hashtag #StayStrongKate continues to trend worldwide, now joined by #ForGeorge and #ProtectTheRoyalChildren.
Catherine, ever mindful of her role as both a mother and future queen, is said to be drawing strength from her children, even as her body weakens. “They are her anchor,” said a source. “She’s fighting because of them — and for them.”
Despite the darkness of the moment, the family continues to hope. William, in a brief statement yesterday, simply said:
