Last week, Kate Middleton announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer. The reason she broke the news is reportedly not because she made a mistake with a Photoshop error, but because she wants to protect her children from questions at school.
Declaration
Kate had been planning to record a video about her health for a while, but deliberately waited until last Friday. On this day, her children’s school closed for the Easter holidays. She is said to have decided to make a statement because she was confronted with a lot of speculation on social media about why she had the operation.
Cancer
Princess Kate said in a video on Friday evening that she was diagnosed with cancer last month. The cancer was discovered after she spent two weeks in a private clinic in London in January for abdominal surgery.

Details
There was speculation about details of Kate’s statement on BBC1’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme. The Sun editor Victoria Newton said the timing deliberately coincided with Kate’s three children’s last day at Lambrook School in Berkshire before the Easter holidays.
“I understand that the princess decided two weeks ago to make this public statement. The most important thing for her as a mother was protecting her children,” Victoria said. “She didn’t want more to be asked of them at school than was already the case. It was bothering them at school, so her plan had been to wait until the day before the Easter holidays. Obviously, they have had to endure an incredible amount of social media speculation, which has been very difficult for them. But for her the priority was always the children,” she continued her story.
The Princess also said in her statement: “Most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that suits them, and to reassure them that I am doing well. comes.”
Statements of support
The message received many expressions of support. Kate and her husband Prince William appear to be ‘very moved’ by this. In addition to the many expressions of support, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are also said to have contacted them. They would have heard the news on television.
Currently, Kate is now on what is being described as the ‘recovery path’ after starting chemotherapy at the end of February. In the statement, she said: “I am doing well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and soul. Having William by my side is also a great source of comfort and reassurance.”
