After weeks of rumors and speculation, the United Kingdom was shocked on Saturday by the announcement of Princess Kate’s cancer, with many people already praising the courage of the very popular wife of the heir to the throne.
The British royal family finds itself in an unprecedented situation where two of its most important members, the king and the future queen, must fight cancer.
The Princess of Wales’ statements made the headlines on Saturday in the British press, which adores Kate and sees her as a model member of the monarchy. The word “shock” accompanied by its photograph covers several newspapers. “Brave Kate,” writes the tabloid The Sun.

King Charles III, aged 75, whose cancer was announced in early February, said he was “proud of the courage” of Kate, who is the wife of his son William, the heir to the throne. He has “remained in close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout recent weeks,” Buckingham Palace said.
Messages of support quickly flooded in. “You are brave and we love you,” Jill Biden, the wife of US President Joe Biden, wrote on X. The latter said “pray” for the princess’ healing.
Kate, whose absence since her operation in mid-January sparked the wildest rumors, spoke, looking exhausted and tired, in a video filmed on Wednesday in Windsor, west of London, and broadcast on Friday. “The last few months have been incredibly difficult for my whole family,” the princess said.

“In January I had a major abdominal operation in London. At the time, it was judged that I was not suffering from cancer,” explained the 42-year-old princess. “However, tests after the operation revealed the presence of cancer,” she continued, speaking of a “huge shock”.
“Deeply moving”
The princess is undergoing “preventive chemotherapy”. This treatment is usually offered after an operation to reduce the risk of cancer returning and spreading in the body via the spread of cancer cells in the blood.
“But there is no doubt that this is a very, very difficult time for the institution of the monarchy,” he added, noting that it was “almost impossible” to plan anything involving Charles and Kate. The princess’s state of health had been a concern for more than two months.
Abdominal surgery
On January 17, Kensington Palace announced that Kate had undergone a major abdominal operation the day before in a London clinic. The palace then warned that she would not return to her public functions before Easter. He did not give any other details, but passed the information on to British royal correspondents that it was not cancer.
The long convalescence of the princess, usually one of the most photographed women on the planet, and the absence of information have fueled rumors and wild speculation for weeks, which the palace has not managed to stop. The Princess of Wales is one of the most popular figures in the royal family, with her image perfect and glamour.
