Prince William was completely rocked by Princess Catherine’s cancer diagnosis. As you know, the 42-year-old princess had undergone major abdominal surgery earlier this year — only to find out she had cancer and would need to undergo preventive chemotherapy.
Of course, when she heard the news, a source told Us Weekly that she “was shocked” and “in shock for a while after,” noting that she and William “were not ready for the diagnosis.” Understandable.
No one ever is. It also doesn’t help that they were dealing with a ton of speculation about her well-being and whereabouts at the same time.
Despite struggling with her health battle and public scrutiny, Catherine is determined to stay strong for their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
