After months of speculations, Kate Middleton has finally put a stop to the rumors concerning her health and her whereabouts. On March 22, the Princess of Wales released a touching video in which she disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the public and the media.

This news came as a shock to the Britons and Kate’s fans from all over the world. As expected, well wishes and messages of support came pouring in, and that showed yet again how loved Kate truly is.

Among the rest, the Princess said in the video, “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. 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.”

She explained that her cancer was discovered when doctors ran tests following her planned abdominal surgery and it took her time to share the diagnosis with the public because she and William were trying to figure out a way to inform the children first.

“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. As I have said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body, and spirits.”

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able. But for now I must focus on making a full recovery,” she added.

Further, Kate addressed those battling cancer.
“For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone,” the princess said.

Throughout the years, Kate has received acclaim for her efforts in destigmatizing mental health issues among young people, as well as her adeptness in engaging with the public during her royal engagements.

When interacting with children in public, Middleton often crouches down to their level, demonstrating her warmth not only towards youngsters but also to all her admirers during official appearances.

Recently, an emotional encounter between a cancer survivor and Kate Middleton has come to light.

Amidst Kate’s battle with cancer, royal fan Paul Philip Roberts, now 53, who had undergone surgery for lung cancer recalled the meeting with the princess and revealed that her compassionate nature was on full display during that poignant encounter. The touching moment took place during a visit to Blackpool in 2019 by Kate and William.

As per Express, Roberts praised Kate for showing him that “she cares,” adding that his “heart goes out to her” when speaking to PA about the encounter.

When he told her about his diagnosis, Kate responded with three emotional words: “Just keep going.”

“I’d just come out of hospital and Kate was visiting Blackpool with Prince William, they were touring Blackpool, and it was then that I managed to chat to her,” he told PA. “She did a walkabout, William went on one side and she came the other side, she came to my side, and we were chatting for a good five minutes.”

“We were chatting and I was saying, my life has changed, it was so difficult, you’ve got to go through every emotion. She basically said, ‘What cancer is it?’ and I said it was stage three and that I had my lung out, and she said, ‘Oh my God, that’s awful,’ and she said, ‘Just keep going,’ and she gave us a hug.”

Roberts said it was evident to him that she genuinely cared. He expressed his belief that by disclosing her cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales would offer support to thousands of others.

“It’s beneficial to the community and to the world, when you think about how many people she might have saved,” he told PA and concluded by sending Kate Middleton a message of his own.

“Always focus on getting stronger. That’s my message to her, is to focus on getting stronger, and take all the support that you can because it’s crucial. I just wish her all the luck in the world and I hope she manages to get through it, especially for her family.”
