The Prince and The Princess of Wales released their first joint statement on Saturday since Kate Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis.
“The Prince and Princess have been deeply moved by the kind messages from people here in the United Kingdom, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness' message,” Prince William and Middleton said in a statement via of their representative at Kensington Palace. .
“They are extremely touched by the public's warmth and support and are grateful for your understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”
The reports the BBC that the joint statement is likely to be both the “final chapter” and “the last we'll hear from the prince and princess for a while” following Middleton's video on Friday, in which the Princess of Wales announced she had been diagnosed with cancer, ending to the rampant gossip and conspiracy theories — fueled by obvious Photoshopping — about her well-being in the face of her public absence.
On Friday, Middleton said that after her “scheduled” abdominal surgery on Jan. 16, “The surgery was successful, however, there were post-surgery tests for cancer.”
“This of course came as a huge shock,” he continued. “Both William and I are doing our best to process and manage it privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this took time. It took me time to recover from major surgery to begin my treatment. But most importantly, it took us time to explain everything [their children] George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that suits them and to reassure them that I'll be fine.”
King Charles was also diagnosed with cancer last month after doctors ran diagnostic tests for an enlarged prostate at the London clinic. Charles will “continue” to work behind the scenes on “Government Business and Official Papers”, according to a Buckingham Palace statement at the time.)
On Friday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released a statement about their sister-in-law's diagnosis.
“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they can do so privately and in peace,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said. People.
