Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, broke her silence on Friday, announcing her cancer diagnosis in a Buckingham Palace statement. Initially thought to be non-cancerous, tests following abdominal surgery revealed cancer, prompting preventive chemotherapy.
Kate emphasized the importance of privacy for her family during treatment. She expressed gratitude for the support and reassured her children.
The specific cancer type wasn’t disclosed. Her statement ended speculation surrounding her health. Amid concerns of a health records breach, Kate’s openness may be a response. Her absence post-surgery fueled speculation until a photo surfaced. Another image, later deemed manipulated, was shared, with Kate taking responsibility.
