The news that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment has triggered a wave of Google searches.

Kate’s absence from public life in the weeks following her surgery has been the subject of numerous speculations and conspiracy theories, fueled in part by the initial privacy surrounding the details of her health condition. The posting of a heavily edited image of Kate for UK Mother’s Day only intensified the speculation.

What type of cancer does Kate Middleton have?

Through a message delivered in a video, the princess revealed that she learned of her diagnosis after undergoing “major abdominal surgery” in January, at the London Clinic.

“The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation revealed the presence of cancer,” Kate communicated in a recorded video statement. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Kate Middleton did not specify the type of cancer she is fighting against.

“My medical team recommended that I undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” the princess explained, emphasizing the emotional impact this diagnosis has had on her, Prince William, and their family.

A few weeks after Kate was discharged, some rumors suggested that the Princess of Wales’ abdominal surgery was due to an intestinal problem; other versions indicated that she underwent a gynecological intervention.

This diagnosis comes just a few months after King Charles III, Kate’s father-in-law, revealed that he too was battling cancer. Queen Camilla recently reported that, despite his cancer treatment, the King “is doing very well,” offering a glimmer of hope to the royal family and their supporters during these challenging times.

Message from Kate Middleton

Below, we share with you the complete message that the Princess of Wales delivered this Friday afternoon.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I’ve 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’ve taken great care of me for which I’m so grateful in January I underwent major Donald surgery in London and at the time. It was thought that my condition was non cancerous.

The surgery was successful however Tess after the operation fun cancer had been present.

My medical team therefore advise that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.

This of course came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately at the sake of our young family.

As you can imagine. This is taken time. It is taken me time to recover for Major surgery in order to start my treatment, but most importantly it is taken us time to explain everything to George Charlotte and Louis in a way. That’s appropriate for them and to reassure them that I’m going to be okay.

As I’ve 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 having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance to as is the love support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you it means so much trust both.

We hope that you’ll understand that as a family we now need some time space and privacy while I complete my treatment.

My work has always bought me a deep sense of Joy and I look forward to being back when I Mable but for now. I must focus on making a full recovery.

At this time. I’m also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer for everyone facing the disease in whatever form. Please do not lose Faith or hope you are not alone.
