Kate Middleton, Britain's Princess of Wales, on Friday revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy.The update from the 42-year-old royal after a "tough couple of months" comes after weeks of speculation over her health and recovery.In a personal video message released by Kensington Palace, a weak looking Kate said her planned "major" abdominal surgery in January was "successful" and it was initially thought her condition was non-cancerous.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful," she said at the beginning of the video message.
The whereabouts of Kate Middleton were unknown to the public, as there was no official word from the Royal Family.A recent Mother's Day photo released by Kensington Palace, apparently aimed at dispelling rumours about her health, was later found to be doctored. This led to a media frenzy, with much speculation about her health and even conspiracy theories about the couple's relationship.
