Kate, Princess of Wales, says she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy

Mar 22, 2024 | 1:10 PM

Kate, the Princess of Wales, says she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.

The video announcement Friday came after weeks of speculation spread on social media about her whereabouts and health since she was hospitalized in January for unspecified abdominal surgery.

Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne, walking from a farm shop near their Windsor home.

Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April.
