Kate Middleton confirmed on March 22 she had been diagnosed with cancer, but now it is revealed that she had to rush the announcement after her diagnosis had been leaked somehow.
In the emotional video, the Princess of Wales, 42, confirmed she had been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing ‘preventative chemotherapy’ for the disease.
What Really Happened?
However, a well-placed source has revealed the video wouldn’t have been posted on March 22, but because someone had knowledge of her health condition.
Someone with a sniff of the situation contacted Kensington Palace to enquire about Kate’s diagnosis, leaving no option but to come out and get ahead of the story before the rumour spread, per the Daily Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle column.
Who Revealed Her Secrets?
It is unclear as to whether the leak came from within The London Clinic, where the Princess underwent abdominal surgery in January, or from elsewhere.
In the video message, Kate spoke about the ‘huge shock’ after tests identified cancer following her abdominal surgery and the ‘incredibly tough couple of months’ her family have experienced, with her voice cracking with emotion at times during the footage.
The form of cancer has not been disclosed but the future Queen began a course of ‘preventative chemotherapy’ late in February, and is said to have a positive mindset for her recovery and is in good spirits, describing herself as ‘well and getting stronger every day’.
