Catherine, the Princess of Wales, revealed in a video from Kensington Palace that she has cancer and is starting chemotherapy. She’s 42 and called the diagnosis a big shock after a tough time. The cancer was found during tests after her major surgery in January. She didn’t say what kind of cancer it is or how serious it is.
She thanked everyone for their support and asked for privacy as she gets treatment. People were worried about her when she disappeared from public view in December. The palace said she won’t be back to her royal duties until after Easter.
This news adds to recent troubles for the royal family. Last month, King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer too.
Kate’s latest update was a photo with her kids released on Mother’s Day. But later, it was revealed that the photo was edited and Kate took the blame for it.
The British Prime Minister and the White House Press Secretary both sent wishes for Kate’s recovery and asked for privacy for her family during this tough time.
