Just 30 days after the King shared his own battle with cancer, the announcement garnered an overwhelming display of support from various political figures, famous individuals, cancer survivors, and medical professionals.
The palace’s spokesperson issued a statement on Saturday night expressing that the prince and princess were deeply moved by the kind words from individuals in the UK, across the Commonwealth, and globally in response to Her Royal Highness’s message.

During a time where the leader and future leader of the nation are both battling cancer, the royal family is facing an uncertain future. However, it is expected that the monarchy will come together to provide support for those fundamental to the institution.

Kate and William decided to reveal the information about the cancer diagnosis after their children had started their Easter break from school.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, Prince William is extremely proud of his wife.
According to a source, William is very grateful for his wife’s bravery and fortitude, not only this week but also since her surgery in January. He has always prioritized protecting his family, and now he is particularly focused on giving his wife the space and privacy she needs to heal fully. He also wants to shield his children from the understandable curiosity surrounding the news that has been shared.
Kate’s specific type of cancer has not been revealed, but she is reportedly maintaining a positive attitude towards recovery and is in high spirits. She stated that she is feeling well and improving daily, while also asking for privacy for her loved ones during her healing process.
Kate and her husband chose to share the news once their three children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 – began their Easter school holidays to shield them from intense coverage of their mother’s health.
The announcement could potentially put to rest the months of intense speculation and rumors surrounding the princess’s whereabouts and well-being.

Speculation on social media about Kate increased after William unexpectedly did not attend his godfather King Constantine’s memorial service on February 27. This change in plans was due to a personal issue and it has recently been revealed that his absence was due to his wife’s positive COVID-19 test.
There was additional speculation following the princess’s admission of “editing” her official Mother’s Day family photograph.
The UK’s privacy regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office, has initiated an investigation into claims that someone tried to obtain Kate’s personal medical information from the London Clinic following her surgery.
Additional speculation arose following the princess’s revelation that she had made alterations to her official family Mother’s Day photo.
The duration of Kate’s treatment is uncertain, however it is possible that she may want to attend events based on her own capability and following medical advice. This does not necessarily mean she will resume full-time duties.
William has been successfully juggling his responsibilities of caring for his wife and family while fulfilling his official duties, even after her surgery.
After his children finish their Easter break and return to school, the prince will resume his public duties. However, the Wales family will not be attending the usual Easter service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle with the rest of the royal family.
The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, responded to the princess’s announcement by praising her courage and denouncing the unjust treatment she has faced from certain media outlets and social media.
Just like everyone else, she deserves the privacy to focus on her treatment and be with her family during this time regarding her health.
