From shock to strong confrontation

Princess Kate’s absence caused a stir

Royal bride Kate Middleton is the second most loved face of the British royal family. The beauty’s every move always receives attention and support from the country’s public.

Kate herself always diligently participates in public service activities. However, since attending Christmas mass at church with royal members on December 25, 2023, Princess Kate has not appeared in public for a long time.

Kate last appeared with her family in December 2023.

The incident has confused those who care about this royal bride. In January 2024, Kensington Palace announced that Princess Kate Middeton – Princess of Wales, wife of Prince William – was hospitalized on January 16 for abdominal surgery.

This notice states: “The surgery was successful and the princess will stay in the hospital for 10-14 days and then return home to continue her recovery.” Kensington Palace also said that Princess Kate will not participate in public events until Easter (late March 2024).

Not only Kate but also Prince William did not go on business trips abroad and did not perform royal stuff while she was in the hospital.

Although Mail Online has determined that Kate’s illness is not too dangerous, somewhat unclear information from the royal family has made many people confused and worried.

Many bad rumors have surfaced during the time Princess Kate was absent. On March 4, Kate appeared after a long surgery. According to the photo posted by the New York Post, the princess appeared in a car driven by her biological mother. In the photo, Kate looks quite fresh and comfortable.

However, bad information related to Kate and Prince William’s relationship is still surfacing. The peak was on Mother’s Day (March 10), when the royal palace posted pictures of Kate happily with her children. However, this photo has many photoshop errors and especially in the photo, Kate is not wearing her wedding ring.

To calm down the unnecessary noise, Kate admitted that the photo was edited by herself and that her lack of proficiency in Photoshop caused many errors in the image, leading to unnecessary publicity.

However, many people still question the marital status of Kate and William. On March 16, Dailymail revealed that Kate appeared with William at an agricultural store about 1 mile from the family’s Adelaide Cottage residence.

A witness to Kate and her husband shopping confirmed: “Kate went shopping with William and she looked happy and healthy. The children were not with them but it was a good sign that she was well enough to visit the shops.”

Many people are worried about Kate’s “disappearance”.

The courage of the future Queen of England in the face of a health incident

Not wanting to let the rumors go further, on March 22, the Princess of Wales officially announced her health condition. Kate admits she has cancer and is in the early stages of chemotherapy:

“In January, I had abdominal surgery in London, England. At that time, the doctor diagnosed me as not having cancer. However, after a successful surgery, tests showed that I had cancer. The medical team advised me to have preventive chemotherapy, I am in the early stages of treatment.”

Kate did not reveal the exact type of cancer she has, but she confirmed that she is getting better every day.

Also in this announcement, Kate admitted: “Of course this is a big shock.” The Princess shared: “It’s been an incredibly difficult few months for our whole family, but I have an amazing medical team who have looked after me very well. I’m so grateful”.

Kate said her children were reassured about their mother’s health condition: “I reassured my children that I would be fine. As I told them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal, in my mind, body and spirit.”

The future Queen of England also did not forget to thank her husband skillfully: “Having William by my side is also a great source of comfort and peace of mind. As well as the love, support and kindness shown by so many of you. It means a lot to both of us.”

Kate’s announcement received a lot of sympathy and respect from her family and the public.

Immediately after Princess Kate shared about her illness, public opinion and related people continuously expressed their sympathy and sent her good health wishes.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Kate’s statement about her illness was courageous. He said the Princess of Wales has “the love and support of the whole nation as she continues to recover.”

White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre also wished Princess Kate good health, and called for “respect for the privacy” of her and her family during this period.

King Charles praised the courage of the Princess of Wales.

In particular, Buckingham Palace also informed Page Six that King Charles praised the courage of the Princess of Wales when deciding to reveal her illness to the public.

It can be seen that this is a quite difficult time for Kate herself in particular and the British royal family in general. However, the future Queen of England still receives attention and support from the public and family members.
