Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, Princess of Wales, has revealed in a heartfelt video that she is undergoing treatment for cancer. The 42-year-old princess expressed shock at the news following what she described as an “incredibly tough couple of months.” However, she conveyed a positive outlook, stating she is “well and getting stronger every day.”
Middleton disclosed that the cancer was discovered following abdominal surgery she underwent in January. Although the type of cancer has not been disclosed, Kensington Palace expressed confidence in her full recovery. The princess began chemotherapy treatment in late February as a preventative measure.
In her statement, Middleton acknowledged the challenges of her recovery process, emphasizing the importance of family support.
The news of her diagnosis comes amidst King Charles battle with cancer. The King and Middleton were both briefly hospitalized at the London Clinic, where she underwent her surgery while Charles received treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Everyone has supported the royal couple’s decision to keep Middleton’s health private. International figures, including US President Joe Biden, have offered their prayers and support for her full recovery.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commended Middleton’s bravery and emphasized the importance of respecting her privacy during this time.
As Middleton continues her treatment, she and Prince William are not expected to make public appearances in the near future. Their focus remains on her health and the well-being of their family.
