CELEBRITY Breaking news

Kate Middleton has finally put an end to the rampant speculation about her health. The Princess of Wales released a short video on March 22 to share that she has been diagnosed with cancer. “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

The Princess announced that she was stepping back from her royal duties temporarily to recover from her surgery in January, but after two months out of the public eye and a photo-shopped Mother's Day picture, wild theories started to circulate. In the video statement, Middleton revealed that she wished to put an end to the speculation but could only do so once her young family had processed the shocking news. "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 went on to reassure viewers that she is feeling well and “getting stronger every day," despite the fact that it's been "an incredibly tough couple of months" for the whole family. The news comes less than two months after King Charles revealed his own cancer diagnosis.
