The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has cancer
KATE MIDDLETON – The Princess of Wales herself announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer.
Kate made this announcement through an emotional prerecorded video message aired on British television on Friday night, March 22, 2024 (early Saturday morning, March 23, in the Philippines). According to Kate, she underwent major abdominal surgery in January 2024. The operation was reportedly successful, but subsequent medical tests revealed that she had cancer. Apparently, Kate did not specify what type of cancer she had.
Following this, her medical team advised her to undergo preventive chemotherapy, and she is currently in the early stages of treatment. She described it as a “huge shock,” and she and her husband, Prince William, are doing everything to face it privately for the sake of their children.
It took them a while to explain to their young children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, what she was going through and to assure them “that I am going to be OK.” Kate also expressed gratitude for Prince William’s presence by her side, providing her comfort and reassurance. She also emphasized the significance of the love, support, and kindness shown by the public.
Following this, Kate requested understanding from the public that, as a family, they now need “some time, space, and privacy” as she undergoes treatment. Before Kate’s announcement, there were many speculations as the Princess of Wales had not been seen in public for a long time.
Rumors circulated, including alleged marital problems between Prince William and Princess Kate, with the prince being unfaithful due to his rumored affair with Rose Hanbury. There were even claims that Kate had a “body double,” which is why she wasn’t the woman seen with William in recent photos.
Suspicions and criticisms against Kate and the royal family intensified further when she apologized and admitted that their family photo taken by Prince William and released on March 10, 2024, celebrating Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, had been digitally altered.
The criticisms she received were replaced with shock, sadness, overwhelming sympathy, and prayers for Kate when she admitted she had cancer. Through a video message, the public was given the opportunity to see her current condition.
