Kate Middleton Reveals She Has Cancer, Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson Send Wishes

Kate Middleton, Britain¡¯s Princess of Wales, on Friday revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy. The update from the 42-year-old royal after a ¡°tough couple of months¡± comes after weeks of speculation over her health and recovery.

In a personal video message released by Kensington Palace, a weak looking Kate said her planned ¡°major¡± abdominal surgery in January was ¡°successful¡± and it was initially thought her condition was non-cancerous.

¡°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,¡± Princess Kate said in her video message.

¡°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¡­ It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok,¡± she said.

She described having William by her side as a ¡°great source of comfort and reassurance¡±, adding: ¡°As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you ¨C it means much to us both.¡±
