Chloe Fox was 39 when she had to sit her three young children down and explain to them that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. “Nobody knows the details of Kate’s cancer or her prognosis,” she writes in a personal essay for Vogue, following the news that the Princess of Wales is battling cancer.
Stop all the speculation. Catherine, Princess of Wales—Kate to those who love her—has cancer. Not a body double, or a mental illness, or a marriage crisis , but cancer. Nobody knows where, or how far advanced—and nor should they—but it is serious enough for her to have been prescribed a “preventative” course of chemotherapy. This corrosive treatment—as those like me, who have had the misfortune to endure its toxic blasts will know—is not for the faint-hearted.
Almost more than anything, I hope that Julia has imparted the same advice to Catherine as she did to me. Practically, she said, the language should be simple. Bad news and good news. The bad news? Mummy has cancer. The good news? That it has been found and the doctors know exactly how to treat it. “OK, right,” I said. “So I’ll tell them I have cancer, and then I will promise them that I’m not going to die?” And here is where the bomb dropped.
