Big Update on Kate Middleton, Kensington Palace confirms this about Princess of Wales
Kensington Palace acknowledged that the Princess of Wales has been working from home on an innovative initiative that aims to improve the life of babies.
On Friday, Kate, the Princess of Wales, said she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer — an announcement that comes amid what hasn't been a good year for Britain's royals so far.
First came the “royal health shock” headlines when palace officials announced that King Charles III and Kate both had health troubles. An absence of information about Kate's health and whereabouts then fueled an increasingly frenzied rumor mill that made its way from the fringes of social media to frontpages around the world.
Distrust of the monarchy only intensified after Kate admitted that she edited an official family photo, and palace officials have struggled to regain control of the narrative as conjecture and conspiracy theories persist.
She said, “Following the advice of my medical team, I am now in the initial stages of a preventive chemotherapy course. William and I were deeply shocked by this diagnosis. We are focusing on managing this situation privately for the well-being of our young family.”
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful," she said
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.
“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.”
Kate's medical records reportedly breached, probe underway
This confirmation on Kate comes amid an ongoing inquiry into allegations that three London Clinic employees viewed her medical data while she was undergoing surgery.
The staff has been suspended, purportedly for seeking to obtain Princess' private information without any authorised access.
She was recently pictured walking cheerfully through the parking lot with Prince William at the Windsor Farm shop.
