Due to TikTok people have come to believe that Prince William is having an affair on Kate Middleton and that is why she hasn't been in the media recently.  On March 22 she released a video stating that the reason she has been away from the public eye is because she is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy after cancer was found in tests. She said the news came as a "huge shock" so that's why she's been away from the media trying to get through her diagnosis in private with her family. So, no he is not having an affair because this video gave as a clear explanation as to why Kate Middleton hasn't been seen by the media recently. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-68641335.
