Kate Middleton discloses having cancer. On Friday, Kensington Palace took to Instagram to share a video where the Princess of Wales shared that she was undergoing treatment for the disease. After Middleton's abdominal surgery in January, the princess took some tests, and it was revealed that she would have to go through chemotherapy to prevent any further spread of the disease. 

In the video, the Princess of Wales disclosed that it is a tough time for the royal family and that she wants to focus on full recovery while working from behind the scenes. Earlier this month, royal sources revealed that Middleton was working on a special project for the development of the babies. Putting the conspiracies to rest, the princess has cleared up the picture.

What Did Kate Middleton Say About Her Treatments?

In the video posted by Kensington Palace on social media, Kate Middleton started addressing the viewers by thanking them for their support and love. Speaking of her health issues over the past few months, the princess said, "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."

Claiming the news to be a "huge shock," Middleton shared that Prince William and herself "have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment."

While the news is difficult for the royal members to process, the Princess of Wales revealed that making her children understand the situation was important. Middleton confessed, "But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be okay. As I have said to them, I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal—in my mind, body, and spirits."
