Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles III is “so proud of Catherine for her courage” in opening up about her cancer diagnosis. In a short statement, the palace revealed that the King has been diagnosed with cancer himself and is in close contact with his daughter-in-law. The princess, who has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy since late February, talked about the diagnosis in a video that was released last Friday.

Members of the public have been showing their support for the princess, with many sharing messages of sympathy on social media.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent a message in support of Catherine, wishing her and her family well in her recovery. Meanwhile, Katherine’s brother, James Middleton, took to Instagram to express his own support. Despite the diagnosis, the princess seems to be persevering, noting that she is becoming stronger every day. Nonetheless, the diagnosis has been a challenge to her and her family, who recently went through a tough time when the King announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer. The princess had a planned abdominal surgery back in January, just before the King was admitted for a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate. Despite recovering from that procedure, the King announced that he would pause his public appearances for a while.
During her stint in the hospital, the doctors discovered that Catherine had cancer. Following her doctor’s advice to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, she is now in the process of receiving treatment. The princess expressed her gratitude to those sharing their support, and urged anyone going through the same to not lose hope. Members of the Royal Family will not be appearing together on Easter Sunday, while the princess is not expected to return to royal duties early; she plans to focus her attention instead on her treatment, her well-being, and spending time with her family
