Kate Middleton, Prince William ‘touched’ by support received after her cancer diagnosis: Palace

<p>In a shocking health update,&nbsp;Princess of Wales Kate Middleton said that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is presently taking chemotherapy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a video message shared on the social media handle of Kensington Palace, Kate revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is in 'early stages' of treatment<br />
<br />
The Princess, dressed in a white and black jersey and jeans, appeared in the video thanking for all the support that has come her way since January when she underwent abdominal surgery.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kate revealed that while the surgery, which took place on January 16, went off well, subsequent tests revealed she had cancer. She described the diagnosis as a 'huge shock'.<br />
<br />
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” said Catherine, 42, who is married to the heir to the British throne, Prince William.</p>

<p>“The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”</p>

<p>Kate continued that her diagnosis was “a huge shock” and that “William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kate and William share three children together.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The princess added, “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.”<br />
<br />
Kate said that she had told them she is “well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.”</p>

Kate revealed that while the surgery, which took place on January 16, went off well, subsequent tests revealed she had cancer. She described the diagnosis as a 'huge shock'. “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” said Catherine, 42, who is married to the heir to the British throne, Prince William. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.” Kate continued that her diagnosis was “a huge shock” and that “William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.” Kate and William share three children together. The princess added, “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.” Kate said that she had told them she is “well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.” Watch the video here: A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales pic.twitter.com/5LQT1qGarK — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) March 22, 2024 × She praised Prince William for being by her side as “a great source of comfort and reassurance” as well as the support she has received from the public. “We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.
