Tuesday, April 2, 2024 – The Princess of Wales's video announcement detailing her cancer treatment was rushed out by Kensington Palace aides after her diagnosis had been leaked, new reports have claimed.
Kate Middleton confirmed she had been diagnosed with cancer
and is undergoing 'preventative chemotherapy' for the disease in a video
message she released on March 22.
Now, a well-placed source has claimed the timing of the
video had nothing to do with the speculation that would have come from her
missing church on Easter morning, but instead because someone knew about her
health condition.
Kensington Palace had been contacted about Kate's diagnosis,
leaving no option but to hurry to get ahead of the story, the insider told the
Daily Mail's Ephraim Hardcastle column.
It is unclear as to whether the leak came from within The
London Clinic, where the Princess underwent abdominal surgery in January, or
from elsewhere.
'Whatever the reason, the universal acclaim heaped on Kate
confirmed it was the right decision', the column said.
After weeks of frenzied speculation on social media about
her health and well-being, Kate released the candid video message just over a
week ago, confirming she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
The princess, 42, spoke about the 'huge shock' after tests
identified cancer following her abdominal surgery and the 'incredibly tough
couple of months' her family have experienced, with her voice cracking with
emotion at times during the footage.
The form of cancer has not been disclosed but the future
Queen began a course of 'preventative chemotherapy' late in February, and is
said to have a positive mindset for her recovery and is in good spirits,
describing herself as 'well and getting stronger every day'.
The King, diagnosed with cancer in February, is said to be
'proud' of his 'beloved' daughter-in-law for her 'courage' in speaking about
her treatment and has remained in close contact during the past few weeks.
Queen Camilla said this past weekend that the Princess of
Wales is 'thrilled' by all the public support when she met two sisters holding
posters with the poignant words 'send our love to Kate'.
The King has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed
form of cancer since early February after he had an operation for an enlarged
prostate at the London Clinic.
