What cancer does Kate Middleton have

The mother of three, in a video shared by Kensington Royal on their X page, shared a heartfelt message while thanking those who have been supporting her.

"It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I have had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful. In January I underwent a major abdnominal surgery, in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous."

Kate also confirmed that her surgery was successful, but her tests later confirmed that she had cancer.

How Kate Middleton processed cancer diagnosis

In her address, Kate looked feeble in denim jeans and stripped sweater top as she asked people to continue supporting and wishing her well.

She admitted her hiatus was to help her and her husband, Prince William, process the news and break it to her family.

"The tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy, and I'm now in the early stages of treatment. This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything to process and manage this privately," she further said.

Kate added that she will be fine and that she took time off to recover from surgery before she could embark on treatment.
