Questions about the seriousness of her state of health began to arise on February 27 when her husband Prince William canceled at the last moment, to “personal reasons” his participation in a mass organized in Windsor a year after the death of one of his godfathers, the King of Greece Constantine.
This video helps put to rest the wildest rumors that have been circulating for several weeks on social networks about the state of health of the Princess of Wales. Particularly after its broadcast, on March 10, of a retouched family photo on the occasion of British Mother’s Day. Some claimed that Kate was locked up by her in-laws “evil”, and others that she had simply already died. Friday, the princess justified her weeks of silence by her desire to “recover from my major operation in order to start my treatment” et “most importantly, to take the time to explain everything in a way that works for George, Charlotte and Louis (his three children, Editor’s note) and to reassure them that I was going to get through it”.
She also requested that her privacy and that of her family “are preserved while I complete my treatment”.
