Catherine, Princess of Wales, has cancer, she announced in a video message released by Kensington Palace on Friday, but she is undergoing treatment.
In the video, the former Kate Middleton, 42, said the diagnosis was a “huge shock after an incredibly tough couple of months.”
She was diagnosed with cancer after she successfully underwent major abdominal surgery in January. However, she did not specify the type of cancer.
She thanked the public for their support in recent weeks, adding that she and her family “now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment.”
Before Friday, the most recent update from Kate came earlier this month with the release of a photo of the Princess of Wales and her children; Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and Prince George credited to her husband Prince William, was released on Mother’s Day in the U.K.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that the princess had shown “tremendous bravery,” even with her health on the line.
“The Princess of Wales has the love and support of the whole country as she continues her recovery,” he said.
We all wish Catherine, the Princess of Wales speedy and total recovery.
