Kensington Palace voices that the Princess of Wales is deeply moved by the international swell of support post her shocking cancer disclosure.
In an emotional video message unveiled last Friday night, Kate revealed a “really tough couple of months” for her kin, announcing her early-stage “preventative chemotherapy” after rampant rumors concerning her wellbeing.
The 42-year-old royal was rocked by “huge shock” after a January 14 operation for what was thought to be benign turned out otherwise, with tests later confirming cancer.
This bombshell follows only a month after the King’s own cancer revelation, sparking a wave of empathy from political figures, stars, survivors, and healthcare professionals alike.
A palace spokesperson stated Saturday night, “The prince and princess are both deeply moved by the kind words from folks at home in the UK, the Commonwealth, and all over the globe following Her Royal Highness’s personal share. They’re truly touched by the kindness and support and thank everyone for respecting their privacy request during this time.”
The Princess of Wales is deeply moved by the support following her cancer diagnosis, as reported by Kensington Palace.
Charles, dealing with his own undisclosed cancer found during treatment for a prostate issue, feels “proud” of his “cherished” daughter-in-law’s bravery in facing her condition and has stayed closely connected over the past weeks.
Amid both the sovereign and the future queen undergoing cancer treatment, the royal family enters a time of uncertainty, with the institution expected to provide unwavering support to its core members.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have offered their wishes, stating, “We wish Kate and the family health and healing, and may they find peace and privacy.” It’s also reported Prince Harry has privately reached out to Prince William.
Kate and William decided to go public with the diagnosis during their kids’ Easter break.
Prince William reportedly harbors immense pride in his spouse, per the Sunday Telegraph.
An insider shared with the publication, “William is immensely proud of his wife’s bravery and strength, not just recently but since her surgery in January. His priority has been his family’s protection and now he’s committed to ensuring Kate’s privacy for her recovery and safeguarding his children from the natural curiosity following the news.”
Kate’s cancer type remains undisclosed, yet she maintains a positive outlook on her recovery and is feeling upbeat, describing herself as “well and growing stronger daily,” as she seeks privacy during her recovery.
The news was shared when their children – George, Charlotte, and Louis – were on Easter break, to protect them from the media spotlight on their mother’s health.
The announcement aims to quell the rampant speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the princess’s absence.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent a message of well-wishes, and Prince Harry is said to have reached out to his brother Prince William.
Speculation mounted when William unexpectedly missed King Constantine’s memorial due to “a personal matter,” later revealed to be related to Kate’s diagnosis.
Additional rumors arose after the princess was said to have “edited” the official Mother’s Day family photo.
The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office has initiated a probe into attempts to access Kate’s private medical records at the London Clinic, the site of her surgery.
The duration of Kate’s treatment is unclear, but she plans to attend events when possible, following medical guidance, but not indicating a full return to duties yet.
William is set to support his wife and family while continuing his official roles post-Easter break when the kids return to school. However, the Wales family will not join the traditional Easter service at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak praised Kate’s courage, criticizing the recent intense media scrutiny and calling for her privacy during her treatment and time with family.
