The news comes after the Princess of Wales confirmed her diagnosis in an emotional video to the nation on Friday evening.
Kensington Palace have announced the sad reason they didn't announce Kate Middleton's cancer battle sooner - because they didn't know until after her operation.
Sadly, tests after the operation identified Kate had cancer and the princess said it has taken her and Prince William time to deliver the news to their children "in a way that is appropriate for them." In the clip, Kate said: "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.
The princess added her family have started to process the diagnosis as she was focused on recovering from her recent operation. She has reassured her children she is "getting stronger every day." She continued: "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.
