Therefore the palace was silent
The diagnosis was a shock, says Kate in the video. She first needed time to recover after the operation and to “appropriately” teach her children what their mother was missing. “William and I have done everything we can to deal with this privately.” This also explains the weeks of palace silence.
The last two months have been “incredibly hard” for her entire family. But the future Queen of Great Britain is brave: “I’m doing well and I’m getting stronger every day,” emphasizes Kate. She has a “fantastic team of doctors” for whom she is very grateful.
On the road to recovery
Kate asks for your understanding that she and her family now need time and privacy. Her office also said there would be no further details about the type of cancer. The princess is on the mend.
Kate has the whole of Britain behind her
King Charles has praised his “beloved daughter-in-law’s” openness. Buckingham Palace said on Friday that he was “so proud of Catherine for her courage” to talk about her illness.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has assured Princess Kate of the support of the entire country. “She has shown tremendous courage with her statement today. I know I speak for the entire country in wishing her a speedy and full recovery, and I look forward to seeing her back in action when she is ready.”
The White House also expressed its condolences. Our thoughts are with Kate, her family and her friends, said spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre. “And of course we wish her a full recovery.”
