The Princess of Wales reveals she has cancer in an unprecedented video address. Kate Middleton, with voice breaking with emotion, delivers an incredible message of hope to fellow cancer sufferers and the nation.
The Princess of Wales was inspired to reveal her cancer diagnosis after the warm response to the King doing the same six weeks earlier, royal insiders have claimed.
Kate also made reference in her public video message last Friday to 'all those whose lives have been affected by cancer,' adding: 'You are not alone.' And this has been seen as a clear nod to her father-in-law as well as millions of other cancer sufferers.Charles greets Kate at a Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Ypres, Belgium, in July 2017
Last Friday, Buckingham Palace said the King was 'so proud' of Kate for her courage in speaking out about her cancer diagnosis and remains in the 'closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law. The King and Queen were told the news about Kate's health beforehand and were aware she was preparing to issue her video message.
The King, who acceded to the throne 18 months ago, is undergoing his own course of treatment for cancer, and Camilla said last week he was 'doing very well'. Rumours online about the health and whereabouts of Kate intensified after William missed, at very short notice, the memorial service of his godfather the late King Constantine of Greece on February 27.
It is not known how long Kate will be receiving treatment but it is understood she may be keen to attend events as and when she feels able to, in line with medical advice, although this will not indicate a return to full-time duties.
