“In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time my condition was thought to be non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, subsequent tests discovered that there was cancer.” With these words, recorded last Wednesday in the BBC studios under her maximum discretion, Kate Middleton cleared up all the rumors that had been generated around her figure in the last two months.
The announcement by the Princess of Wales about her cancer diagnosis has shaken British news, as well as the social chronicle worldwide. For several weeks the media, magazine covers and social gatherings have been filled with rumors and possibilities surrounding her figure, which have ended up being resolved after these words. Her statements have left a multitude of reactions in every possible corner.
One of the most heartfelt has been that of his little brother, James Middleton. The entrepreneur spoke about the princess’s statement through her Instagram profile. There, he has published an old photograph of both of them in the mountains, accompanied by a message in which he shows her maximum support. “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will also climb this with you,” were her words.
This has been one of the many statements from the inner circle, among them those of King Carlos III through a statement. “His majesty is very proud of Catherine for her bravery in speaking about her as she did. Following their stay together in hospital, the king has remained in close contact with his beloved daughter-in-law over the past few weeks. Both His Majesties will continue to offer their love and support to the entire family at this difficult time,” he explained.
Enrique and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have also spoken out on the matter. “We wish health and healing for Kate and her family, and we hope they can do so privately and in peace,” commented CNN journalist Max Foster on his X (Twitter) profile. In the general British panorama, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has left some strong statements, denouncing the rumors spread in many corners.
“My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales, Prince of Wales, the Royal Family and particularly her three children at this difficult time. The Princess of Wales has the love and support of the entire country as she continues her recovery. She has shown tremendous bravery with her statement today. In recent weeks she has been the subject of intense scrutiny and has been treated unfairly by certain sectors of the media around the world and on social networks,” she expressed.
