After weeks of incessant speculation and conspiracy theories about the figure of Kate Middleton, last Friday, March 22, the Princess of Wales said she reappeared on social networks to suddenly settle all the rumors about her state of health and to report by for the first time about the illness that had separated her from public life.
''In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time my condition was thought to be non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, subsequent tests discovered that there was cancer. Therefore, my medical team recommended that I should undergo preventive chemotherapy treatment and now I am in the early stages of that treatment,' were the words with which Kate Middleton announced that she was suffering from cancer.
The diagnosis has been a hard blow for the entire British royal family, who currently continue to process this new reality they have to face. However, Prince William's wife assured that his current condition was good and that he was already undergoing the chemotherapy process.
After the announcement of her cancer, numerous famous faces in British society wanted to send a message of support to the daughter-in-law of King Charles III. Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was one of the first to speak out on the matter. ''He has shown tremendous bravery with his statement today. In recent weeks he has been the subject of intense scrutiny and has been treated unfairly by certain sectors of the media around the world and on social networks,' the politician declared.
This Monday, March 25, another of the most popular faces of the British monarchy, Sarah Ferguson, spoke. The Duchess of York and ex-wife of Prince Andrew published a heartfelt message dedicated to the Princess of Wales on her social networks. ''All my thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales as she begins her treatment. I know she is surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome,' she began by saying.
''As someone who has faced her own battles with cancer in recent months, I greatly admire the way in which she has spoken publicly about her diagnosis, knowing that it will be a great help in raising awareness,'' she declared. The statement ends with Ferguson, 64, wishing that Kate Middleton "can have the space, time and privacy of her to heal."
It should be remembered that Prince Andrew's former wife was diagnosed last January with highly aggressive skin cancer. A complicated health diagnosis that came just two years after undergoing treatment for breast cancer that was discovered in June 2022.
