Princess Catherine, also known as Kate, Princess of Wales, has announced that she is undergoing treatment for cancer after a recent diagnosis. In a heartfelt video statement, the 42-year-old princess shared that the discovery of cancer came as a “huge shock” following successful abdominal surgery earlier this year. She expressed gratitude for the support received and assured everyone that she is “well and getting stronger every day.”
The exact nature of the cancer has not been disclosed, but Catherine revealed that she is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy as advised by her medical team. This treatment aims to destroy any remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence. While the princess did not specify the type of cancer, she emphasized the importance of maintaining hope and faith, urging others facing similar challenges not to lose hope.
Catherine acknowledged the difficulty of explaining the situation to her three young children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—but assured them that she is going to be okay. She also thanked her husband, Prince William, for his unwavering support throughout this journey.
The announcement comes after weeks of speculation about Catherine’s health following her surgery in January. The royal family has requested privacy during this time, emphasizing the need for space and understanding as Catherine focuses on her treatment and recovery.
King Charles III, who has also been undergoing cancer treatment, expressed pride in Catherine’s courage to speak out about her diagnosis. The royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan, has extended their well wishes for her speedy recovery.
Leaders around the world, including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US President Joe Biden, have voiced their support for Catherine and emphasized the importance of respecting her privacy during this challenging time.
The princess’s openness about her cancer diagnosis has been praised by experts in oncology, who believe that her transparency will encourage others to prioritize their health and seek medical assistance when needed.
