Kate Middleton Has Been Diagnosed With Cancer, Kensington Palace Announces

Kate Middleton.

Following months of speculation about Kate Middleton's whereabouts, the Princess of Wales herself provided on Friday an update on her health in a video. "It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family," she explained. "It was thought [in January] that my condition was non-cancerous...However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present." Kate also noted that she has begun preventative chemotherapy.

"This, of course, came as a huge shock," she said. "Most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis, in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I'm going to be OK."
