Kate Middleton is fighting cancer, and it doesn’t come as a surprise that all eyes are on her and the British royalty.
Until she made the decision to disclose her condition with the public, the Princess of Wales came under scrutiny for not providing any details of her well-being and whereabouts. As a result, numerous speculations and rumors found their way in the media and the headlines of numerous of world-wide magazines.
During that time, the Palace remained quiet, with only issuing a statement once in which they claimed Kate was doing well.
Following the stir caused by the Mother’s Day photo that Kate published on the social media which experts, as well as ordinary people, found out to be edited, the pressure she and the Palace faced grew even bigger.
Eventually, Kate released a video in which she opened up of her health condition, explaining that after running tests following her planned abdominal surgery, doctors found the presence of cancer.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Middleton said in the March clip.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”
“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,” Middleton said.
“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, 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.”
Up until this point, it is still now known what type of cancer Kate has or what stage she’s in.
The fact that King Charles, who’s battling cancer himself, has been seen in the public recently, and Kate is fighting her battles out of the public eye, makes people more eager to learn more of her exact condition.
However, Prince William proceeding with his royal duties has been seen as a positive sign that things are getting better.
Yet, a new report paints an altogether bleaker picture.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Amaia Arrieta, the clothing designer who has styled Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, revealed: “I’m heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through hell, I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”
At the same time, Arietta was among the first who took to the social media to share her support for the British royals following Kate’s video. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales and her family as she bravely faces cancer and undergoes preventive chemotherapy. We stand in solidarity with her, offering our support, strength, and unwavering hope for her well-being and recovery,” she wrote in March.
Last week, William was asked by a woman about his wife and children, to which the prince answered, “We’re all doing well, thank you.”
“And obviously Catherine?” asked the woman.
“We’re all doing well,” said William.
