The U.K.’s Princess of Wales, the former Kate Middleton, revealed she has undergone treatment for cancer.
After weeks of speculations, in a recent video statement on this Friday, Princess Of Wales, Kate Middleton reveals that she is going through early stages of treatment for cancer.
The princess of Wales further explains in the video that, “At the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous. “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.”
Middleton called the news a “huge shock,” adding that William and She has been doing everything they can to process and manage this privately for the sake of their young family. I am well and getting stronger everyday by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits,” Kate Middleton later added in her speech.”

She will continue to be away from her royal duties as she focuses on making a full recovery.
Kensington Palace has not confirmed what type of cancer Middleton was diagnosed with or how long her treatment is expected to last.
On Jan. 17, Kensington Palace announced that Kate was recovering from a planned abdominal surgery. The princess “is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” on March 31, the palace said at the time. Even so, her window of absence fueled online conspiracy theories about the princess.
Kate stayed in the hospital following the surgery. At the time, there was no confirmation of what the surgery was, with Kensington Palace saying Kate, 42, hoped that the public would respect “her wish that her personal medical information remains private.” The palace suggested at the time that Kate would not be resuming public duties until after Easter.
The princess had not been seen in public since Christmas Day 2023 when she was seen walking to and attending a church service alongside the wider royal family, including her children and husband Prince William, the heir to the British throne.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also released a statement, saying: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

Charles and his wife Camilla “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time,” the spokesperson added.
