The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, bravely shared a personal update on Friday via a heartfelt video message.
In the message, she revealed that following her recent abdominal surgery, unexpected test results unveiled a cancer diagnosis. The news has sent shockwaves around the world, as Middleton and her family navigate this challenging time.
In her candid message, Middleton expressed her initial disbelief upon learning about the diagnosis. She emphasized her and Prince William’s commitment to handling this matter privately, particularly for the well-being of their children.
“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” shared Middleton, 42, in the video. “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.”
While specifics about the type of cancer were not disclosed, Middleton did mention commencing “preventative chemotherapy” in February.
As this story continues to develop, our thoughts and prayers are with Kate Middleton and her loved ones. We earnestly hope for her full recovery and stand in solidarity with her during this trying time.
