Princess Catherine‘s cancer news was a surprise to the world — but it turns out it was a “shock” to many of her friends, too!
In order to avoid her condition leaking to the public, Kate Middleton hardly told anyone what she was going through.
Speaking to People on Wednesday, a pal revealed: Ultimately Her Royal Highness shared the diagnosis with the world in a heartfelt video last week.
But of course, that was only after conspiracy theories had gotten WAY out of hand. We doubt she had planned to tell anyone at that time — as she hadn’t even broken the news to the people she saw every day!
