Although Kate Middleton remains in the background, speculation about her has calmed down considerably since she decided to make public that she suffers from cancer. The Princess of Wales left the entire British society in shock by issuing a recorded speech in which she confessed that she was not having a good time.
Something that she had to do almost out of obligation after all the conspiracy theories that emerged over the two months that she remained completely missing. The bad strategy adopted by the princes and their communication team ended up generating a serious crisis of credibility in the crown, from which it will take a long time to recover. Now, a new detail has emerged that has once again won the affection of many.
Kate Middleton’s commitment to the cause is such that she has not hesitated to donate her hair to make wigs for people fighting the same disease she suffers from. Up to 17 centimeters of hair, as revealed by Sunday Express, were sent anonymously to the Little Princess Trust, a charity dedicated to making wigs for boys and girls.
An initiative that arose from the idea that Joey Wheeler, his personal hairdresser, had to change his look. It was at that same moment when the princess had no hesitation in contributing to society with this gesture.
“It’s beautiful to think that someone, somewhere, probably more than one person, received a wig containing Princess Kate’s hair,” said organization spokesperson Helen Creese. “It’s lovely and great for raising awareness,” she added.
And it is not the only way in which he has contributed to the cause, even if it was indirectly. Kate Middleton’s public announcement that she was undergoing tests and preventive chemotherapy has multiplied the number of people who have gone to medical centers for check-ups. “She will save lives,” said Professor Peter Johnson, head of cancer at NHS England.
“Receiving a cancer diagnosis turns your life upside down and talking about it can be really difficult. The Princess of Wales speaking bravely about her diagnosis will help others do the same. Because of this, we have seen an increase in number of people visiting vital information on our website about signs and symptoms,” the professor said.
So much so, that the Cancer Research UK portal increased visits by 15% due to what they call the ‘Kate effect’. On the other hand, the Macmillan Cancer Suppot also had a 10% increase in visits. Without a doubt, talking about this openly can save lives.
