UK royal Kate having chemotherapy after 'huge shock' of cancer discovery

A screen shows the news on the health of Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales, outside the Fox News studio in the Manhattan borough of New York March 22, 2024. ― Reuters picLONDON, March 23 ― Kate, Britain's Princess of Wales, said on Friday she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy after tests taken after she had major abdominal surgery in January revealed that cancer had been present.

She was dressed in jeans and a jumper and looked pale and tired in the video, which was filmed on Wednesday.“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.” “Both their majesties ‘will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time’.”

Kate's office, Kensington Palace, said it would give no further details about the type of cancer that had been found, saying the princess had a right to medical privacy. It said she was on a recovery pathway and the preventative chemotherapy had begun in February.The timing of the announcement was to ensure that Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, had time to digest the news before it became public, and because yesterday marked the start of their school holidays.

However, a video filmed last Saturday by a member of the public which was published by the Sun newspaper showed Kate looking healthy, walking and carrying shopping bags alongside her husband at a farm shop in Windsor, near to their home.
