She has been lauded and applauded for her extraordinary grace, personal power, and all around bad a*** self as she spoke to the public directly, without pretense nor elaborate locale.
Royal Family News – Kate Proved That She Is The Real Deal To Tell The Somber News That She Has Been Diagnosed With Cancer.
As the Daily Mail said, “Kate Middleton’s announcement revealing her cancer diagnosis came from the heart.”
A palace source affirms to People that the unbreakable princess “wrote every word herself” of the video released on Friday, filmed two days prior in the gardens of Windsor Castle.
A family friend stated Kate “wrote the words herself, delivered it personally and wanted to decide when the time was right to hit the world with this news.” Can we love this woman, a mother of three, and the next UK Queen, any more?
All alone she sat on a bench in front of daffodils, and “shared her cancer diagnosis in an emotional video message. She said she received the diagnosis following her abdominal surgery in January after post-operative tests “found cancer had been present” and is now in the “early stages of treatment.”
The Daily Mail reported that her husband William, the next king of England, is “extremely proud of his wife for the courage and strength she has shown not just this week, but since her surgery in January.”

The insider added of William: “Now more than ever he’s focused on ensuring his wife has the privacy she needs to fully recover and that his children are shielded from the understandable interest in the news that has been shared.”
After Friday’s incredible announcement, a Kensington Palace spokesperson stated “that Kate and William are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the U.K., across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message.”

Princess Kate added that “it’s taken us time to explain everything” to their kids “in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.”
