Messages of support pour in for Kate Middleton after cancer diagnosis
London: Messages of support wishing Britain’s Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, a speedy recovery have been pouring in from around the world on Saturday after the 42-year-old revealed she is in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.

In an emotional personal video message released by Kensington Palace on Friday, the mother of Princes George, 10, and Louis, 5, and Princess Charlotte, 8, said her young family had been absorbing the news since the “huge shock” of the cancer diagnosis and requested for “space and privacy” as she completes her treatment.

Her father-in-law, King Charles III who is also undergoing treatment for cancer, praised her 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 [Charles and Camilla] will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also referenced Kate’s ‘tremendous bravery’ and condemned the ‘intense scrutiny’ she had been subjected to on social media with reference to her recovery since her abdominal surgery in January.

‘When it comes to matters of health, like everyone else, she must be afforded the privacy to focus on her treatment and with her loving family. I know I speak for the whole country in wishing her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back in action when she’s ready,’ said Sunak in a statement posted on X.

Opposition Labour Party leader said the Princess has “the love and support of not just her whole family, but the whole nation too” during this “distressing time”.
