After weeks of rumours regarding Kate Middleton’s whereabouts and well-being, friends of the princess have said that the way she was compelled to announce her cancer diagnosis was “almost desperate.” The Princess of Wales revealed the devastating diagnosis in an open video that she posted on Friday night.

She said that she had wanted to take some time to explain things to her kids before sharing the news with them. According to reports, the film was scheduled to release during the youngsters’ Easter break from school.

From the time Kate was admitted to the hospital for 13 days for what was referred to as a “planned abdominal procedure,” a variety of ludicrous allegations have been made about her. Hopefully, this disgusting gossip will stop now that everyone is aware of the reality, albeit the Princess’s friends are reportedly upset at being made to listen to it when she is most vulnerable.

The future Queen made a powerful and stoic impression when she shockingly revealed her cancer diagnosis late last week. Following her stomach surgery in January, Kate disclosed that testing had detected cancer; however, it is still unknown what kind of cancer she has or what stage of the disease she is in.

As previously mentioned, it’s widely thought that the release of the video coincided with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis’s end of the school year, giving the Waleses the chance to enjoy their Easter break together as a family at home. But according to reports, Kate was also somewhat pressured to make the declaration due to the relentless barrage of rumours that have plagued her recuperation.

Not anymore. With her courageous revelation last week, Kate hopefully put a stop to the endless speculation while also definitively answering most of the questions that the general public may have had. In fact, the Princess’s friends indicate that was her goal from the beginning.

One friend reportedly told The Sunday Times, “Catherine’s message was so honest.” Is it not tragic that she must be so forthright and disclose that as a result of all the absurdity that has pervaded society? “It seems like everyone is chatting about her and her family, and there is a lot of false information out there,” the speaker said.

She had to do it in a way that was nearly desperate. According to a close friend of the Princess of Wales, Kate disclosed her disease to the public because “she felt she had to do it.”

“She felt she had to do it because of who she is,” they said to the Sunday Times. It was more that she understands that she is a public figure with broader leadership duties. “She also wants to be able to resume her most active and regular routine.” I’m not sure about you, but I genuinely hope that the Princess can now heal in some measure of tranquilly.
