As with the King’s illness, the Royal Family has chosen not to disclose precise details about Kate’s cancer
The 42-year-old underwent planned abdominal surgery in January and postponed her public appearances. When the princess underwent the surgery, it was initially thought it was non-cancerous.However, following tests carried out after the operation, she was diagnosed with cancer. The Princess has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy since late February.
Kensington Palace has not revealed the type of cancer Kate is suffering from, nor has it revealed details on the stage of cancer.In a statement, the palace said: “We will not be sharing any further private medical information. The princess has a right to medical privacy, as we all do.” Although the palace has disclosed that Kate started her course of chemotherapy in late February, it has not shared information on when the treatment will end, how often she is receiving treatment, or where she is receiving treatment. Again, this is to protect the princess’ privacy.
The palace has said that the princess chose to withhold the information until now because she only wanted to share it when she and Prince William “felt it was right for them as a family”.
