Kate Middleton has been missing from the public eye for months, with a storm of speculation surrounding her condition — until now. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) today, the Princess of Wales finally appeared on camera to share the heartbreaking reason for her absence: a cancer diagnosis.

Following an abdominal surgery in January, Middleton shared, tests revealed the presence of cancer in her body.
“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” Middleton explained. “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
While a cancer diagnosis is devastating enough, it must have been difficult for Middleton to share it with the world, especially considering she probably made the announcement before she felt ready to.
“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery,” Middleton added.

“This is incredibly brave of you to share after these past few months,” one fan wrote. “My thoughts are with you and your family Catherine. We love you.”
Another added, “You are such a strong person, Catherine! I’m so sorry that people can just not give you the respect and privacy you have asked for. I will pray for all of you and I hope now you can get that space you need to heal.”
