I am beyond sad for Kate, William, and their beautiful children. I have had an eerily similar situation the past few months, and nothing can prepare you for news like this, and no matter who you are, there is not a perfect way to deal with such news. I can't imagine my children having to deal with media attention in such a situation.

I wish them all the best, and I hope they can have the needed space and privacy as they move forward.
 
OMG, we all feared the truth and wished the press would leave her be as she recovered, even when we didn't have a clear idea of what she was recovering for.

Now that she has decided to share what she and her family are going through its sad news, but Princess Kate announcement is now a motivation for so many other people to follow up for their checkups and detect cancer at an early stage.
Kate disclosed her condition without fear and to help others not to lose hope themselves. I hope that the tabloids leave her alone and allow her family to continue this private matter to stay private as she recovers.
 
I am very sorry to hear this. Best wishes to the family and I hope there will be a full recovery. It must be extremely difficult to deal with this along the public pressure. I hope they are given some space now.
 
I hope for her full recovery 🙏
and I fear the british media will not give her peace
but speculations will keep risinf up to this forumlike "what will happen if the worst happens...",
please be kind and respect her wishes.
 
As a cancer survivor I wish her only the best outcome. Chemotherapy can be grueling and you need a lot of positivity to get through it. I truly hope the mainstream media just gives her the space and time that she needs. As for social media - well you just shut it off and don’t look at it. It is the mainstream media reporting social media conspiracies and fantasies as actual news that causes the damage.
 
What a shock. Though most here knew she wouldn’t disappear for that long unless it was something serious. Agree with the poster who said the statement she made was well done. She’s really the quiet strength type of person. I wish her a speedy recovery and for the whole family to be able to tune out the nonsense of the media and the outside world as they deal with such a difficult time.
 
She's really a role model. What a trooper and what a terrible year for the BRF.

Shame on those, including on this Forum, who were too pleased to bash her and simply invented stories to explain a much needed rest.
 
Holy crap. This wasn't the news I expected to hear. I think 2024 will go down as the BRF's true annus horribilis even more than 1992 was. Good God. I wish her well, and I hope her and William and the kids stay strong.

I also hope all the idiots on Twitter enjoyed basically hounding her into announcing this. Enjoy your ill-gotten news, you soulless vultures.

And it turns out, THIS is why William pulled out of the memorial service. Because she had just received the news that the cells were cancerous.

I read this, but find it not very conclusive. The operation was mid January, usually it doesnt take THAT long to do the necessary analysis.

According to The Standard:
“The palace also said Prince William's sudden absence from a memorial service in late February was because of the discovery of Catherine's cancer diagnosis.“
 
This is so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine how the family feels right now. The people who spread such awful conspiracies about Kate should feel real ashamed of themselves.

The media has confirmed this is why William pulled out of the memorial.

“We now have confirmation that this is the reason why William was forced to pull out of attending his godfather King Constantine II’s memorial service at Windsor.” Source

This came as a shock to me. My prayers and thoughts go out to her and her family. Let’s hope this puts an end to the awful scrutiny they have all had to endure and that they can be left in peace for her to make a full recovery.

They will never leave her or him alone. I can't stand the Diana card, but forcing Kate into this situation where she has to put on a brace face when she's terrified and tell everyone this is horrible. Gosh William must be overwhelmed, and the kids so scared.
 
When I got my cancer diagnosis (during Covid, no less), I was devasted. But when I met with the surgeon, she assured me that it had been caught early and wasn't aggressive. I was lucky in that I did not need chemo, but I did have surgery and radiation. These days a cancer diagnosis is not necessarily a life ending diagnosis. Cancer survivors go on to live full, happy lives.

I wish the princess an easy time throughout her treatment and I wish her a speedy recovery.
 
It must have come as a shock after the surgery that what was thought to be a benign tumor ended up being a malignant tumor. It is good to hear that she has recovered sufficiently from her surgery that she was able to start chemotherapy. I hope that the treatment will be successful and lead to a full recovery as it indeed seems as if it was caught in early stages. Wishing the family (Waleses and wider family) all the strength they need in this time.

Given that Easter is approaching, they must have felt it necessary to make a statement; and the previous few weeks must have made them realize that a video message would probably be necessary to quell the rumors and conspiracy theories as much as possible. Catherine did well; I am sure William is proud of her.
 
King Charles has released a statement.

His Majesty is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did’. Following their time in hospital together, His Majesty has ‘remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks. Both Their Majesties will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.’

Now we know why William didn't attend. I hope that all those out there telling how William should be ashamed of himself are now ashamed of themselves.
 
I'm in shock. She'll be fine.🙏

Non lo lasceranno mai solo. Non sopporto la carta di Diana, ma costringere Kate in questa situazione in cui deve fare una bella faccia quando è terrorizzata e dire a tutti che è orribile. Accidenti, William deve essere sopraffatto e i bambini così spaventati.

In realtà, in questa situazione, non pensi a te stessa ma alla tua famiglia. L'istinto di protezione prevale alla paura. E' capitato anche a me. Vedere la mia famiglia disperata ha fatto scattare in me una forza che non pensavo di avere. Auguro alla principessa tutto il bene di questo mondo.
 
Her story is very similar to a dear colleague of mine at work; abdominal surgery followed by preventative chemo. He is healthy and has been cancer free for three years.

I hope she has now the privacy and space to rest and heal

I was also diagnosed during COVID. Very early stage. I received immunotherapy as a preventative measure.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if this was confirmed. But this is confirmation.

I mean…..most thoughtful people took it at face value that if William was pulling out of a memorial service he’d been expected to speak at…that the “ personal” reason was good. Like he didn’t just decide to stay home and watch TV.

And surely no reasonable person expects that they get a cancer diagnosis one day and were then expected to immediately announce to a world wide audience what the “personal” reason was just because some people don’t think William is a responsible adult- aware of ALL his obligations and also think they are entitled to know everything immediately.
 
This news is devastating on so many levels. Kate has always taken such excellent care of herself and seemed to be in excellent shape. Yet, she is the third member of the BRF(the King, the Duchess of York) to confront this disease which most certainly does not discriminate.

She is a mother, wife, daughter and sister before anything else. My most profound prayers for a full and complete recovery.

Lastly, I hope all the media and online bullies whining about the damned edited photo and dropping hints about her husband and the Marchioness of Cholmondely can finally relax.
 
This is actually quite common - I had surgery to remove my gallbladder and concerning pre- cancerous cells were found. And I was advised to undergo preventative chemo. A friend of mine was given the same advice for some skin tags and moles that she had removed. Another friend got the same advice after she had a battery to tests for insurance for her new job.
I asked about it at my last appointment - I had assumed that new technology and awareness was resulting in these diagnoses and yes and no. They are diagnosing it early, but only if you are high risk or the cancer is of the sort likely to spread.

Indeed! That was pretty bizarre to follow.

My thoughts go first and foremost to their children. Even the youngest is old enough to understand this is pretty serious. And the two oldest can read and hear all about pretty much everywhere every day and every hour, should they be in doubt. That's a tough one to face, on top of mother being ill.
 
She says "I am going to be ok."

She's my contemporary, and I'm going on 4 years after having had cancer that was treated surgically. I'm okay (hopefully), at least with regards to that. But I cried, and I just did it again today.

I hope for her sake and her family's, "ok" comes soon.
 
Such shocking news. And i don't care if we don't see anything at all of the Princess for the next couple of months, or however long it takes, as long as she is well after it; she should have all the time she needs to completely stay out of the public eye. I thought it was shocking enough the King having cancer, but this has doubly rocked me – and I don't even know these people personally. I hope they both have a complete recovery and we see their smiling faces later on in the year.
 
I lost my mother to cancer when I was a teen, hearing this news was absolutely devastating and I can only pray for Catherine and her young family. Catherine -and every mother- deserves to see her children grow.

My thoughts are also with William, I can imagine how scared he is, for his father, for his wife, for his children...

Give it hell, Catherine. You can do it.
