The Princess of Wales reveals she has cancer in an unprecedented video address. Kate Middleton, with voice breaking with emotion, delivers an incredible message of hope to fellow cancer sufferers and the nation.
Kate Middleton has received an outpouring of support from famous faces after sharing her cancer diagnosis.
Following the announcement, celebrities shared heartfelt messages on social media and slammed the speculation regarding Kate's whereabouts. Daytime TV presenter Lorraine Kelly shared on social media platform X: 'Sending love – brave woman. Shame on all of the trolls who were vile to her'. Roman added: 'Our thoughts are very much with the Princess and the rest of her family, and we wish her well for her recovery.'
Catherine's cancer was discovered only after she underwent major abdominal surgery at The London Clinic in January. Kensington Palace has said it will not be sharing details of what kind of cancer the princess has, or what stage of cancer it is and has asked people not to speculate.

It also creates a fresh crisis for the British Royal Family at a time where King Charles is also battling cancer. In January Sarah, the Duchess of York , was diagnosed with skin cancer, just six months after being treated for breast cancer. It is understood that the announcement was made tonight not because of unpleasant social media speculation about her health and whereabouts – although that has been upsetting - but because her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte , eight, and Prince Louis, five, broke up from school today, which gave them the opportunity to take them away privately and protect them from the inevitable public shock.
'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. 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.
A source said this has been a 'real shock' for the couple and they have needed to take time to process the news personally and bring their young children to a place that they could 'process this news about their mother'.However she does have a very positive approach to her recovery and a positive mindset moving forwards.
This evening's announcement will send shockwaves around the world and came after weeks of speculation - and wild conspiracy theories - about her health A source said it had been 'an incredibly tough couple of months for the entire family' and it had been important for the princess to come to terms with her diagnosis, to recover form her surgery and begin her pathway to recovery.It is understood that William and Kate wanted to tell their children at a time that was right for them and to allow them to understand and process the news before it became public.
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.
