Tonight, the Princess of Wales shared in a heartfelt video message that at the age of 42, she has received a cancer diagnosis and is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy. Filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine expressed the immense shock of this news, emphasizing that she and William have been diligently navigating this situation privately, prioritizing their young family’s well-being.
Seated amidst daffodils and blossoming spring trees, she spoke earnestly, «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. As you can imagine, this has taken time. 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.»
«As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.»
During her January abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace initially stated it was non-cancerous. They reiterated tonight that no tests had indicated cancer. However, subsequent post-operative tests revealed its presence. This evening’s revelation will undoubtedly reverberate globally, following weeks of speculation and unfounded conjecture about her health. It presents a new challenge for the British Royal Family, coinciding with King Charles’s own cancer battle.
The princess is currently following a recovery plan, having begun chemotherapy in late February. Consequently, Prince William withdrew from a memorial service honoring his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece. Kensington Palace has emphasized against speculation regarding the type of cancer.
In her video statement, the Princess appeared casually attired in a striped Breton top paired with jeans. She said: «I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery. 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.»
«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.»
«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.»
Even amid her personal turmoil, she had a message of hope for others battling cancer. She went on, saying, «At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.»
We extend our well-wishes for a swift recovery to Catherine, Princess of Wales. Recently, the princess was seen in public for the first time since her surgery, accompanied by her mother. View her photo here.

You Won’t Believe Why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Left the UK – Fans Are Furious
Prince Harry’s decision to leave the UK surprised the royal family and sparked a lot of questions. Many people wondered what made them choose such a big change. Recently, Harry shared another shocking reason for their move, which has made many social media users very angry.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex once seemed to have everything—a beautiful royal wedding, a growing family, and fans all over the world. But behind the scenes, things were getting tense, and it didn’t take long for their fairy tale to come to an end.
The couple made a brave choice to leave their royal life and moved to another continent. Prince Harry’s reasons for their departure have caused a lot of anger, with many critics expressing disbelief and frustration.
They mentioned wanting financial independence and a healthier family life. However, Prince Harry later shared more personal reasons for their move. As more details came out, critics responded harshly, saying the couple had created their own problems.
They also shared their plans to become financially independent while spending time in both the UK and North America. In their statement, they expressed a wish to raise their son, Archie, with respect for royal traditions. They also talked about wanting the freedom to focus on a new chapter in their lives.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry revealed that their decision to leave the UK was not just about seeking financial independence or escaping media attention. It was motivated by a much more personal and painful reason: fear for their safety.
“My wife and I fled this place in fear of our sanity and physical safety,” Harry wrote. He explained that the pressures of royal life, especially the constant media attacks on Meghan, had forced them to prioritize their mental well-being.
Despite the criticism, Prince Harry defended his decision to leave, stating that his main goal was to protect his family. He emphasized that he was willing to cut ties with the royal institution that had shaped his life for so long in order to ensure their safety and well-being.
