Kensington Palace has chosen not to disclose the type of cancer that Kate Middleton was diagnosed with earlier this year.
The 42-year-old Princess of Wales revealed her diagnosis in a video message back in March. She shared that after undergoing major abdominal surgery in January, subsequent test results indicated the presence of cancer, but the Royal Family is mandating Kate keep tight-lipped about what type.
Since then, the Royal has stepped back from public duties as she undergoes preventative chemotherapy treatment. In a heartfelt new video released by the palace, Princess Kate announced the end of her chemotherapy.
In the video, the Princess is seen enjoying quality time with her husband, Prince William, and their three children George, Charlotte, and Louis. She provides a touching update on her treatment, recovery, and experience.
Kate did not disclose the type of cancer she was diagnosed with, and Kensington Palace confirmed that this information would remain private for privacy reasons, the Manchester Evening News reported.
The Princess began her treatment in late February of this year. However, details such as the stage of the cancer and where she received her treatment will also be kept confidential to protect her privacy, it is understood.
In the latest video message, released on Monday, Sept. 9, The Princess of Wales confirmed that her preventative chemotherapy has now concluded. She described the past nine months as “incredibly tough” for her and her family.
In an emotionally charged video featuring a heartfelt voiceover by the Princess herself, viewers are given glimpses of her on tranquil walks and quality beach time with her nearest and dearest: Prince William and the kids George, Charlotte, and Louis.
“As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” she confides in the audience. “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”
“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
