Worldwide support pours in for Kate Middleton after shocking cancer reveal
- The Princess of Wales unveiled her condition in a poignant video that prompted reactions from political leaders, celebrities and members of the public
- Prince Harry and Meghan, who have been estranged from the UK royals, said they wished ‘health and healing for Kate and the family’
Support poured in from around the world Saturday for Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, after she revealed in a candid video message that she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer following major abdominal surgery.
The princess’s poignant video, in which she spoke about the “huge shock” and “incredibly tough couple of months” for her family after her diagnosis, came after weeks of frenzied speculation on social media about her health and well-being.
“This of, course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Kate said in the video, which was recorded on Wednesday in Windsor.
“It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK,” she added, referring to her three young children.
Kate, 42, did not say what type of cancer was discovered after her surgery. She said she is now in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy, and is “getting stronger every day.”
