Prince William and Princess Kate “look more united than ever” after the couple went to “hell and back” throughout their first 15 years of marriage, a commentator has claimed.
The royal couple hailed 2025 as “brilliant” in a recent social media post, after the Princess of Wales began the year by announcing she was in remission from cancer.
The Waleses completed a move to Forest Lodge in the latter part of the year, having been involved in hundreds of royal engagements, including the Trooping of the Colour and the VE Day 80 celebrations.
Royal commentator Katie Nicholl shared how the duo “have stuck together through awful times, and have become even more tight-knit”.

She told OK!: “William and Kate look more united today than ever.
“They are a proper partnership, and theirs is a marriage based on friendship, love and mutual respect. They’ve been to hell and back in the past year or two, but they look very, very strong together, and they are clearly very in love.”
Ms Nicholl praised the couple for how well they coped with Kate’s cancer treatment, crediting the Prince of Wales for being so open about his love for his wife.
She said: “Going through cancer can make or break a couple, but we’ve heard William speak so movingly and openly about his love for his wife, and his admiration for everything she’s been through and navigated.

“He didn’t know if he was going to lose his wife and the mother of his children, and that is an awful place to be.”
The Princess of Wales shared how William’s support during her treatment provided her with “a great source of comfort and reassurance”.
The pair took to social media to reminisce over the previous year, showcasing a series of photographs and videos from across 2025.
