Kate Middleton was reportedly extremely involved in crafting the bombshell speech that revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment.
“She wrote every word herself,” a palace source told People after the Princess of Wales released the emotional video on Friday, March 22. According to the outlet, the princess filmed her remarks two days before the video's release, in the gardens outside of Windsor Castle.
“She wrote the words herself, delivered it personally and wanted to decide when the time was right to hit the world with this news," a family friend also told the outlet.
Many noted that the princess also gave a subtle tribute to those who have been impacted by cancer in her video by appearing in front of a row of yellow daffodils. As People noted, many cancer organizations use the daffodil as a symbol of hope for people who have been diagnosed with various types of cancer.
