Kate has informed us that she has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment but is now "getting stronger," as she states in her shockingly honest video message.

‍

All speculation can be put to rest in this raw and unfiltered video message, which appears to be captured in one take, lasting 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The Duchess of Wales, Kate, has stirred the nation with news of her battle against cancer.

‍

‍

Dressed casually, Kate reveals the news from the serene setting of Windsor's gardens, her voice trembling as she shares the "shock" of her diagnosis. She explains that after her abdominal surgery at a London clinic in January, tests revealed the presence of cancer.

‍

After learning the news, Kate and William have been "doing everything [they] can to process and manage this privately for the sake of [their] young family." Kate has disclosed the news to her three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, reassuring them that she will be "OK." She shares that she has told them, "I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body, and spirit."

‍

Amidst the turmoil, there is a glimmer of hope as Kate, supported by her medical team, embarks on treatment. The decision to go public was not an easy one, driven by a fierce determination to shield her children during the Easter holiday buzz. This came after some "questionably" edited social media posts and raised suspicions when photographed shopping with William.

‍

Though the specifics of her illness remain undisclosed, Kate's bravery shines through as she delves into the gritty reality of chemotherapy post-major surgery. With her spirits high and gratitude overflowing for the flood of support, Kate expresses, "Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance." She has also informed the public that she requires "time, space, and privacy."

‍

Initially, it was believed that her January abdominal surgery was successful and that her condition was non-cancerous.

This revelation follows King Charles' announcement of his own cancer diagnosis less than two months ago, at the age of 75.
