#UnitedKingdom, March 26, 2024 – Following Kate Middleton’s announcement on Friday, that she has been diagnosed with cancer, Kensington Palace says the Prince and Princess of Wales are “enormously touched” by outpouring of “kind messages” from across the globe.

In a statement, the Palace said the Royal Family welcome the outpouring of support from well-wishers, but they desire to have their privacy respected. In announcing what has been described by some as shocking news, Princess Kate said she is undergoing treatment for the illness.

The latest statement from the Palace said, “here in the UK (United Kingdom), across the Commonwealth, and round the world, in response to Her Royal Highness’ message” they are appreciative of the “public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time”

Princess Kate has also released in a video where she said she and her husband had been doing everything “we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” which included taking time to recover from her major surgery to start treatment and “most importantly” to explain everything to the children before going public with the news.

The children are said to now be away from school on their Easter holiday break, and Kate added in the video message that, “my work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I am able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”

She made the cancer revelation after questions were raised about her health, after she was hospitalised for two weeks, due to a planned abdominal surgery in January.  Post-operation test results revealed cancer had been present, and she started “preventative chemotherapy” in late February.
