Kate Middleton, the wife of Prince William, the heir to the British throne, reappeared in public after a three-month absence, telling the world that she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.
Never a particularly glib or comfortable public speaker, in a video shared on Instagram she sat on a bench on the grounds of Windsor Castle and gave arguably the most compelling and powerful speech of her life in the public eye explaining that after “major abdominal surgery” in January her doctors thought the condition was noncancerous. “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.”
According to Kate Middleton, the presence of cancer was detected following her abdominal surgery. Despite it initially being thought that her “condition was non-cancerous” and the “surgery was successful,” Kate explained that “tests after the operation had found that cancer had been present.” Upon the advice of her medical team, Kate is undergoing “a course of preventative chemotherapy,” of which process she is currently in the “early stages.” Although Kate does not specify the kind of cancer she has been diagnosed with in her announcement, we can infer that it is some type of stomach cancer.
A rep for the Teenage Cancer Trust — an org that Kate has worked with in the past, before her cancer diagnosis — tells TMZ … “Our thoughts are with Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and we wish her all the best for her treatment.”
They add, “If you think you have cancer yourself, it’s important to get checked out as soon as you can.”
King Charles is extending his well-wishes to Kate Middleton during her cancer battle, with Buckingham Palace saying, “His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did.”
They go on to say that after Kate’s hospitalization, Charles has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks.” BP continues, noting Their Majesties “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”
“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment,” she says. “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.”
The princess assures viewers in the video that she is “well and getting stronger every day.” She also asks for “time, space and privacy” as she undergoes treatment.
