Kate‌ Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, recently shared a personal update with‍ the public. In a⁣ video announcement, she revealed that‌ she has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing‍ chemotherapy treatments.

She also mentioned the time it has taken ​for her to recover⁤ from surgery and begin her treatment, as well as the importance of explaining the situation to ‌her three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis,⁢ in an appropriate and reassuring manner.

As she continues her treatment, Kate emphasized the importance of focusing on her mind, body, and spirit to aid in her healing process. She also requested space and privacy during this time.
