Kensington Palace recently released a video of Kate Middleton discussing her cancer diagnosis following a leak of her health condition. The palace acted swiftly to address the situation after someone discovered information about the Princess of Wales' illness. The concern was not about Middleton's absence from Easter church service causing speculation but rather about the leaked details. It remains unclear whether the leak originated from the London Clinic, where Middleton had undergone surgery earlier this year.
In a video message on March 22, Middleton disclosed her cancer diagnosis, revealing that she had started chemotherapy after a recent surgery. The 42-year-old expressed shock at the diagnosis and emphasized the importance of undergoing preventative treatment. She shared that the initial surgery was deemed successful but subsequent tests revealed the presence of cancer, leading to the decision for chemotherapy.
Reports indicated that Middleton and her husband, Prince William, had kept her condition private to allow their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—to understand and process the news before it became public knowledge. Middleton highlighted the challenges of explaining her health situation to her children and ensuring they felt reassured about her well-being.
Prior to Middleton's public announcement, concerns arose about a security breach involving her medical records at the London Clinic. The royal family was promptly informed about the breach, prompting a thorough investigation into the matter. Following the disclosure of her diagnosis, Middleton and Prince William retreated to their vacation home in Norfolk to spend time with their children during spring break at the Sandringham Estate.
The family opted for a private Easter celebration at the estate, choosing not to attend the traditional Easter service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. The decision to maintain privacy during this challenging time reflects Middleton and Prince William's commitment to handling the situation with care and consideration for their family.
