Kate Middleton Announces Her Cancer Diagnosis to the World
Catherine, Princess of Wales, disclosed in a video address released on Mar. 22 that she is undergoing chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. Catherine, formerly known as Kate Middleton, underwent “major” abdominal surgery in January, which initially was believed to be for a noncancerous condition. However, later tests revealed the presence of cancer.
This announcement came after speculation about her health and situation arose due to her public absence following the surgery. In her address, Catherine expressed gratitude for all the support and emphasized her commitment to managing the situation privately for her young children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. She assured the public of her improving health and requested privacy and space as she undergoes treatment.
Catherine also extended words of encouragement to others facing cancer, urging them not to lose hope. This disclosure follows Buckingham Palace’s announcement in February that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer after a procedure for benign prostate enlargement. The type of cancer remains unspecified.
