Princess Kate announced her cancer diagnosis on Friday. Numerous reactions followed – including from Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.
Princess Kate posted a video on her Instagram account on Friday in which she revealed that she has cancer. Since Prince William’s wife underwent abdominal surgery in January and then withdrew from the public, speculation about her health has increased. After the announcement of her diagnosis, the 42-year-old is now receiving sympathy from all over the world.
Royal expert Rebecca English reported via X with a statement from King Charles III. He was “so proud of Catherine for her courage to speak like that.” The 75-year-old has maintained close contact with his “beloved daughter-in-law” in the past few weeks after their stay in the hospital together. Both he and Queen Camilla would offer their support to the entire family during this difficult time.
