Kate Middleton and husband Prince William are 'enormously touched' by the 'kind messages' of support they have received since the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis.
Kate Middleton and husband Prince William shared that they were 'enormously touched' by the outpouring of support they had received after the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis. In a video message Friday, Middleton, 42, revealed she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment after a planned abdominal surgery showed 'cancer had been present.
They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.' Middleton, who shared the update on her health after undergoing major surgery earlier this year, did not elaborate on the type of cancer or the extent in her video message. In her video, Middleton said her condition was initially thought to be noncancerous.
Hashtags, including 'WeLoveYouCatherine' and 'GetWellSoonCatherine,' were trending Friday on X, formerly Twitter, while political leaders, celebrities and cancer survivors sent messages of support. President Biden posted on social media, saying he and first lady Jill Biden 'join millions around the world in praying for your full recovery, Princess Kate.
Friday's video message marked the first significant update on Middleton's condition, though it was not immediately clear when she would return to public life. Middleton and William were not expected to join other royals for the traditional Easter Sunday service in Windsor. 'The Princess will return to official duties when she is cleared to do so by her medical team,' a Kensington Palace spokesperson said. 'She is in good spirits and is focused on making a full recovery.
