Kate Middleton and Prince William are “moved” by the general public's response to the Princess of Wales' cancer diagnosis.
On March 23, a Kensington Palace spokesperson handed on the royal couple's gratitude for the “kind messages” the Wales household has acquired following Middleton's current medical revelation. “The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the U.K., across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message,” the assertion stated, per People. “They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”
The palace remained comparatively quiet concerning the princess' well being since asserting that the 42-year-old mom of three underwent a “planned abdominal surgery” in January. Between some obscure updates, confusion about her scheduled appearances, and a perplexing photo-editing scandal, many on the web turned to conspiracy theories earlier than the princess shared her private message on March 22.
“In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time it was thought that my condition was noncancerous,” Middleton stated, partially. “The surgery was successful; however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”
The Princess of Wales defined that she'd been taking time to course of the information and clarify her prognosis to her youngsters earlier than chatting with the general public. “As I’ve said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body, and spirits,” she stated in her video. “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.”
Kate Middleton concluded her message by asking for “time, space, and privacy” as she continues her most cancers remedies. “My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I’m able but for now I must focus on making a full recovery,” she stated. “At this time I’m also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
