Princess Kate and her husband Prince William are grateful for the many well-wishes they received after Kate announced her cancer diagnosis, a Kensington Palace spokesman said. They were "overwhelmed" by the sweet messages from people in the UK, the Commonwealth of Nations and around the world.
"They are touched by the public's sincerity and support and are grateful for the understanding of their desire for privacy at this time," British news agency PA quoted the statement as saying.
After weeks of speculation about her health, Kate addressed the public via video link on Friday night. The princess underwent abdominal surgery in mid-January and has not been seen in public since. Tests after the operation showed that she had cancer, Kaite said in the video. On the advice of doctors, she is undergoing prophylactic chemotherapy.
Following the release of this video, the daughter-in-law of King Charles III received many well-wishes. That is what he wished for her, among others JAV President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak assured Kate that the country was with her. At the same time, he emphasized that Kate should have the same privacy in health matters as other people.
