Kate Middleton Deeply Touched By Public Response To Her Cancer Diagnosis

Kate Middleton has been deeply touched by the overwhelming support from the public following her decision to disclose her cancer diagnosis.

A statement released by Kensington Palace on Saturday read: “The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message.

“They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”

Kate revealed her diagnosis in a personal video which was released on Friday. “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,” the royal shared.

Following her announcement, Kate has received an overwhelming wave of support from the public, celebrities, and members of the royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are based in Montecito, California, said in a joint statement: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

ITV’s royal editor, Chris Ship, has also revealed that Harry and Meghan have privately reached out to the Prince and Princess of Wales.

One of the celebrities offering words of encouragement to Kate is Strictly star Amy Dowden, who battled breast cancer last year. After undergoing chemotherapy, Amy revealed last month that there were “no signs” of the cancer, although she emphasized that this did not signify a complete clearance.

In her message to the royal mum-of-three, Amy penned: “The news has personally hit me hard, thinking so much about our Princess! Cancer doesn’t discriminate. There’s no textbook, right or wrong way to deal with a diagnosis and treatment.

“It’s personal and I really hope all can #bekind and support our Princess. I was lucky enough to meet The Princess of Wales during my treatment who was so kind, supportive and generous of time. Sending all my well wishes with treatment ahead and as always to all those affected by cancer.”

Kate is not the sole member of the royal family undergoing cancer treatment; King Charles and Sarah Ferguson are also receiving treatment.

A statement from Buckingham Palace last month read: “During the King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”
