In a remarkable and deeply personal revelation, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has spoken openly about her current health struggles.

On March 22, in a heartfelt video message, she shared with the whole world her cancer diagnosis and the beginning of her treatment. The specific type of cancer remains undisclosed, underscoring the royal family’s request for medical secrecy at this difficult time.

Kate’s health problems first surfaced after Kensington Palace announced in January that she was undergoing “elective abdominal surgery” at a London clinic. Initially, it was believed that the operation was not malignant, but the consequences showed a completely different reality. The Duchess is currently undergoing preventive chemotherapy – the decision was made after the discovery of cancer after surgery.

In an emotional video, Kate expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and well wishes she had received, admitting that the last few months had been a huge ordeal not only for her, but for her entire family. “The operation was successful, but the tests after the operation showed the presence of cancer,” she shared, telling about the sudden change in her story about her health and the beginning of a course of chemotherapy.
