The health announcement follows Kate’s “planned abdominal surgery” in January. Princess Kate shared on Friday thatat the time of her surgery, it was understood that the issue was non-cancerous. However, she received the news that her post-operative tests “found cancer.”
It was not revealed the type of cancer Princess Kate has. And a Kensington Palace spokesperson said, “We will not be sharing any further private medical information. The Princess has a right to medical privacy, as we all do.”
In her emotional video, Princess Kate thanked well-wishers for their “wonderful messages of support” amid her recovery, which she called “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family.”
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she said. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery,” Kate shared.
