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.
Following months of speculation, wild conspiracy theories, scurrilous rumors and jokes about her condition, Kate Middleton revealed on Friday that she has cancer.Seated on a bench at Windsor, dressed casually in jeans and a nautical striped sweater, the Princess of Wales delivered her most personal address yet.It seems fair to say that had the Palace better handled the mounting mess around her illness from the outset, the answer might well be no.
Now that is class. Kate completely ignored the ceaseless social media chatter, some issuing from American celebrities, mocking her and her once-mysterious absence.Tests after her operation in January, she said, 'found cancer had been present' and she is now at the beginning of 'a course of preventative chemotherapy'.
The most amateurish mistake: The infamous Mother's Day photo, released on March 10, that was quickly revealed to have been terribly Photoshopped, subsequently killed by news agencies the world over — a mistake for which Kate took the blame. Prince William, we have now learned, suddenly pulled out of his godfather King Constantine's memorial service on February 27, just after he and Kate were informed of her cancer diagnosis.Later that day, the princess finally emerged, in what seemed like damage control, photographed beside William in the back of a Range Rover. Uncharacteristically, she turned her head away from the cameras toward a brick wall.Either way, Kate has signaled her strength all along.
This did not have the intended effect. Instead, this brief clip spurred preposterous theories of a body double, of Kate laid up somewhere, of 'disappearing' for reasons other than health.
