As the Princess of Wales battles cancer, family will undoubtedly come first. Kate revealed last night how she handled the tough task of imparting the news to her three children.
Kate, 42, revealed in a tearful video speech how she had intended to conceal her condition while she took the opportunity to "explain everything" to George, Charlotte, and Louis and give them the reassurance that "I'm going to be ok."
Since his wife's diagnosis, Prince William has remained consistent in providing her with "comfort and reassurance"—all the while valiantly carrying out his royal duties and concealing his own suffering.
While Harry and Meghan have wished her "health and healing" and are believed to have "privately" made touch last night, King Charles expressed his pride in his daughter-in-law's bravery and stated that they are still in "closest contact" with her.
William was applauded on Tuesday when on a visit to Sheffield, where he interacted with families who had suffered homelessness. William has set aside his personal suffering to continue with his royal duties.
The heir apparent engaged in friendly conversation with well-wishers, who were not yet aware of his wife's illness. He has also been spotted in recent weeks at a London synagogue, where he was pictured holding the hand of 94-year-old Holocaust survivor Renee Salt.
Additionally, on March 1, St. David's Day, William went to the well-known Turf Pub in Wrexham and spoke with Rob McElhenney, the Hollywood owner of the Wrexham AFC. Those who have watched Disney+'s 'Welcome to Wrexham' series may recognise the location.
After a successful stomach surgery in January, Kate disclosed on television last night that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
The princess started chemotherapy in late February and is currently on what has been called a "recovery pathway."
William left a memorial service for his late godfather, Greek King Constantine, because of this.
The future queen disclosed that during this trying time, she and her spouse had been concentrating on their kids.
"But, most importantly, it has taken us time to reassure George, Charlotte, and Louis that everything will be okay and to explain everything to them in a way that is appropriate for them," the woman stated.
I am well and gaining stronger every day by concentrating on the things that will aid in my physical, mental, and spiritual healing, as I have stated to them.
"Having William at my side gives me a lot of comfort and confidence as well."
As is the affection, encouragement, and kindness so many of you have shown. It's really important to both of us.
James, Kate's younger brother, was one of those who gave the princess a heartfelt farewell while her medical care continues.
The 36-year-old shared a childhood photo of herself climbing with the Princess on Instagram, writing, "Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together." We shall ascend this one together as a family.
Royal fans did not take long to respond, pointing out that the entrepreneur will now help Kate in the same manner as she supported him throughout his depressive episodes.
It wasn't until Kate had significant abdominal surgery at The London Clinic in January that her cancer was identified. The princess's cancer type and stage have not been disclosed by Kensington Palace, which has begged the public to refrain from speculating.
In the video message from last night, the princess gave an explanation of the events leading up to her diagnosis. She stated: "I had major abdominal surgery in London in January, and at the time, we thought that my condition was not cancerous."

"Therefore, my medical team recommended that I start a preventative chemotherapy course, which I am currently undergoing."
The Princess of Wales continued, saying that her family was shaken by the news and that they had been privately processing her diagnosis.
"William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family, as this came as a huge shock," the woman stated.
It has taken some time, as you may imagine. I had to heal from a major operation before I could begin my treatment.
Catherine continued by saying that as she fights the illness, she and her family would prefer privacy.
As a family, we now require some time, space, and solitude as I finish my treatment, and we hope that you would appreciate this, the woman stated.
I have always found great delight in my profession, and I look forward to returning when I am able, but for the time being I must prioritise my full recovery.
I'm also thinking of everyone whose life has been touched by cancer right now.
"To everyone dealing with this illness, in whatever form, I implore you to hold onto your faith and hope." You're not by yourself.
The news that the Princess of Wales has cancer is the most recent setback to the royal family in the past year, which also included the King receiving a cancer diagnosis.
Only a few days after Kate, Charles was brought to the hospital for a treatment that was thought to be unrelated to cancer.
While the King was receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate at the exclusive London Clinic, Buckingham Palace disclosed in February that Charles had been diagnosed with a type of cancer that is not prostate cancer.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wished the monarch a speedy recovery and expressed gratitude that the disease was "caught early."
This week, when on a visit to Northern Ireland, the Queen expressed her gratitude to the First and Deputy First Minister, saying the King is "doing very well."
The King has deferred his public engagements, although he is rumoured to be working behind the scenes on his official documents and state business, or "red boxes."
In early 2024, Sarah, the Duchess of York, made medical history by becoming the third royal in a row to declare a procedure. She said that she had been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

This was her second cancer diagnosis in less than a year; the first came from a breast cancer diagnosis she received in the summer, which led to a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
She had undergone a routine mammogram, which revealed an early stage of breast cancer.
Sarah wrote on her Instagram account, "Naturally, receiving another cancer diagnosis has come as a shock, but I'm in good spirits and grateful for the many messages of love and support."
Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Prince Michael, died in late February from a "catastrophic head injury" sustained while carrying a rifle near his body.

After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned as working royals in 2020, the discord between them dominated royal family discourse for a long time.
Harry moved to Montecito, California, and has only rarely visited the UK again, but that was after the King was diagnosed with cancer.
Even though the duke and his father had a brief 45-minute encounter, Harry hinted that the King's medical diagnosis would pave the way for family harmony.
When asked if the diagnosis could have a "re-unifying effect" on a US breakfast show, Harry answered "yes, I am sure."
Kensington Palace has politely requested that people refrain from speculating about her cancer.
She is reportedly in "good spirits and focused on her recovery," nevertheless.
A spokesperson stated, "She is incredibly appreciative of the medical staff for the care they are giving her."
It is understood that the announcement was made tonight due to the fact that her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louise, 5, broke up from school today. This gave them the chance to take them away in private and shield them from the inevitable public shock, rather than the unpleasant social media speculation about her health and whereabouts, though that has been upsetting and unpleasant.

"When the Princess and the Prince felt it was appropriate for them as a family, they wanted to share this information," they continued.

Her top emphasis has been the couple's children at this time.

Assistants stated that it is now anticipated that the rumours concerning the princess will end.
Catherine has requested that people respect her privacy and seems committed to returning to her regular activities, which she views as a crucial component of her rehabilitation.
