LONDON — On a crisp but sunny morning outside Buckingham Palace, the saga surrounding Kate, the Princess of Wales, had given way Saturday to a wave of warm wishes after she announced that she was undergoing treatment for cancer. “We were all very shocked,” said Sheema Riaz, a teacher who was visiting London with her sister Shanaz, 18, and her 19-year-old brother Abdullah. 'It must be difficult for her family too,” said Riaz, 29, from Leicester, a city around 100 miles north of London.
' Asked about the online speculation, Daniels, from Gloucestershire in southwest England, said it was 'absolutely horrible.' 'I just wish they would leave them alone. I wish they’d leave all the royals to just get on with it. What really gets on my nerves is it’s often people who don’t know what they’re on about anyway,' she said. “It goes without saying that we wish her well and the kids too.” For the royal family, Kate’s diagnosis adds to a difficult few months.
