Princess Kate, 42, revealed her diagnosis in a video that was reportedly filmed on Wednesday. However, it wasn’t released to the public until Friday.
What Did Kate Reveal About Her Health?
She stated the diagnosis was “a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
Kate shared in the video that she was under the impression that she did not have cancer until the surgery revealed otherwise.
The royal asked for “time, space and privacy” as she undergoes treatment.
Additionally, she spoke about how she is feeling.
“I am well,” Kate stated in the video.
“I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal,” she added.
The Princess did not reveal what kind of cancer she had.
Kensington Palace did share she was undergoing abdominal surgery in January. The institution stated her procedure was not cancer-related and the surgery was successful. According to AP reports, they explained that Kate was recuperating and would be unable to make public appearances until April.
Princess Kate Going M.I.A.
The public first became concerned when there hadn’t been a sighting of Middleton since Christmas. The Palace released a photo of her with her three children for the U.K. Mother’s Day, but it was quickly discovered that it had been photoshopped. The pic was intended to squash rumors. However, it made matters worse. Countless news publications retracted their articles and removed the photo.
Wishing Princess Kate a speedy recovery.
