Following the announcement of her cancer diagnosis, the Prince and Princess of Wales have expressed their deepest gratitude for the overwhelming support they have received. A spokesperson from Kensington Palace shared that the royal couple is touched by the kind messages from individuals around the world. They are appreciative of the public’s understanding and warmth as they navigate this challenging time.
Kate explained that she and her husband have been managing the situation privately to protect their young family, including talking to their three children before making the news public. Post-operation tests showed the presence of cancer, leading Kate to begin preventative chemotherapy in late February. Despite the intense media attention leading up to the announcement, the royal family has requested time, space, and privacy as Kate undergoes treatment.
The Prince and Princess of Wales emphasized in their statement that Kate’s focus is on making a full recovery, and while she looks forward to returning to her work, she needs to prioritize her health at this time. The children are currently on their Easter break from school as the family navigates this challenging time together.
