Kate Middleton requests space and privacy following her cancer diagnosis

Following weeks of conspiracy theories surrounding her whereabouts, Princess of Wales Kate Middleton decided to acknowledge the reason for her absence and her current health status in a 2-minute-long video. The 42-year-old Princess said in a video shared by the Palace,
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from my surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

The Princess further explained about the abdominal surgery she underwent in January and added that at the time it was thought that her condition was ‘non-cancerous’, noting that the surgery was successful. Kate Middleton revealed that after the operations when the test results came back, the medical professionals found cancer was indeed 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. This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”


She noted that it has taken them time to explain everything to their three kids, George, Charlotte, and Louis, in a way that is appropriate for them, assuring them that their mother is going to be okay. Middleton lastly added that the family needs time, space, and privacy to navigate through these tough times while she completes her treatment. Kate Middleton noted that she loves her work and is looking forward to being back after she recovers.

Kate Middleton’s absence from the public eye raised concerns

A statement was shared back in January on Instagram, where Kensington Palace noted that Kate Middleton’s planned abdominal surgery was successful and that, after returning home, she would continue her recovery. It was added that Middleton was unlikely to return for her duties until after Easter.

Kate Middleton, after her discharge from the hospital, remained away from the public eye, raising questions and concern among fans. After Prince William canceled a planned appearance of his own on February 27th due to personal matters, rumors began to fly.

Conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton took the public by storm
Fans started to speculate that maybe the ‘planned abdominal surgery’ was more serious than what people had assumed, with others commenting that she might have had cosmetic surgery. Other rumors speculated that Middleton’s marriage to Prince William might be on the rocks, and she was trying to stay away from the public eye.

One unhinged conspiracy that started to circle was that perhaps Kate Middleton was dead and had been replaced by a body double. Some pictures of Kate Middleton also added to the conspiracy, as the picture shared during Mother’s Day in the UK was marred by scandal. Publications concluded that the picture that was shared by Kensington Palace was manipulated and issued a kill notice.

The conspiracy theories about the whereabouts of Kate Middleton surely took the public by storm, as everyone had their own theories on the matter. With the recent explanation about the cancer diagnosis and the request for privacy and space, she has singlehandedly brought an end to the rumors.
