Princess of Wales: Kate Middleton and her life throughout the years
The Princess of Wales shocked the world as she revealed she is battling cancer following weeks of frenzied speculation over her health.
Kate disclosed that she is being treated for an unspecified form of the disease on Friday evening, coinciding with her three children breaking up for school Easter holidays to protect them from the intense coverage of her condition.
It came with a request for privacy as the 42-year-old completes her “preventative chemotherapy” treatment. The announcement was in part an attempt to quell the clamour of rumour, which has built since Kensington Palace announced in January that she had undergone abdominal surgery and would be taking a step back from royal duties for several months.
