In a video message released on Friday, Kate disclosed her cancer diagnosis and ongoing chemotherapy treatment. She mentioned that the cancer was discovered during post-operative tests after her planned abdominal surgery in January. Despite the successful surgery, tests revealed the presence of cancer, prompting her medical team to recommend preventative chemotherapy.
Kate expressed her gratitude for having William by her side as a source of comfort and reassurance during this difficult period. The couple, parents to three young children, emphasized their need for privacy as Kate continues her treatment.
The palace confirmed that Kate will resume official duties once she receives clearance from her medical team. The announcement garnered widespread support, coinciding with King Charles III’s own cancer treatment.
