Their statement came shortly after the Princess of Wales released a statement on Friday speaking about her cancer diagnosis. “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,” the statement from Kate said.
“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.”
King Charles and Queen Camilla also shared a few words and expressed how “proud” they were of the Princess of Wales “for her courage in speaking as she did”, according to Buckingham Palace.
This isn’t the first health battle that Kate had to face, she has had to deal with a number of health issues over the years. One of the most well-known health issues that Kate has faced is hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that she experienced during her pregnancies with all three of her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. This condition caused her to suffer from extreme nausea and vomiting, leading to dehydration and weight loss. Despite the challenges, Kate bravely carried on with her royal duties and public appearances.
