Breaking! Princess Catherine is finally ready to speak about what’s been going on. The palace announced back in January she was going into the hospital for “planned abdominal surgery,” but since then they’ve given few updates.
Speculation ran rampant after she wasn’t seen or heard from more nearly two months. And it got WAY worse when the update they did release turned out to be fake.
The more info came out that didn’t seem quite right, the less trusting the public became of future updates. Related: Kate’s Staff Didn’t Even Know What Was Happening?! So at this point we guess the only choice Kate thought she had was to talk plainly and directly to the world.
In her first address to the public since all this started, Kate revealed… she has cancer. In an emotional statement, the Princess of Wales explained that when she had her “major abdominal surgery” it was thought her condition was “noncancerous.” However, afterward it was discovered cancer was present — leading doctors to prescribe her “a course of preventative chemotherapy.” She said it took her a while to recover from the surgery enough to take on the chemo, but she’s now “in the early stages” of that treatment.
