Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, recently revealed her battle with cancer in an emotional Instagram video. She disclosed that she was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year following a planned abdominal surgery. Since then, Middleton has been undergoing chemotherapy and has been relying on the support of her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
In her message, Middleton expressed gratitude for the love, support, and kindness shown by the public during this challenging time. She emphasized the importance of having William by her side as a source of comfort and reassurance. Middleton also acknowledged the need for privacy and space as she focuses on her treatment and recovery.
While the duration of Middleton's chemotherapy treatment remains uncertain, she was initially expected to resume royal engagements after Easter. Despite her limited public appearances, the palace confirmed that Middleton has been working on various projects from her home in Windsor.
Speculation surrounding Middleton's absence had led to rumors of marital issues, with some fans noting her absence of a wedding ring in a recent photo. This sparked unfounded rumors of an alleged affair between Prince William and a mutual friend, Rose Hanbury. However, Hanbury has since denied these rumors through her lawyers.
Despite the controversy, Middleton and William have not addressed the rumors publicly. Middleton concluded her message by offering words of encouragement to others battling cancer, urging them to remain hopeful and reminding them that they are not alone in their fight.
