Kate Middleton finally appeared after months of speculation. In case you’re not up to speed on the situation: the last time she was seen in public was at Christmas 2023, and after that, all we knew was that she was recovering from an abdominal surgery whose reason no one knew. Some believed it was cosmetic surgery, others that she had donated a kidney to King Charles; either way, the rumors drove the internet crazy because, after so much gossip, the princess was seen with her mother in the car, very close to Windsor Castle.
Many people claimed it was a double, and there were no clues to the princess’s whereabouts. This caused a lot of concern and even led to comparisons with Lady Di and the tragedy that plagued her in the past, including her death. Anyway, Kate Middleton was later seen in a video supposedly taken by a neighbor of the Prince of Wales, where she looked fine, wearing sportswear and carrying a grocery store bag.
And even though the evidence was clear, people remained skeptical about what was happening was real. But then…
What Is Happening to Kate Middleton?
A recent statement on the official account of the Prince and Princess of Wales shows Kate speaking and delivering the sad news that despite the surgery going well, she has cancer. In the announcement, Kate did not reveal the type of cancer she is facing or how much longer she will be undergoing treatment, so it is expected that more details about her health will be provided later on.

It’s definitely shocking and very sad news, and now everything makes sense: the strange behavior of the royal family, her absence from public appearances at official events, and even the strange incident with the Mother’s Day photo. We hope her medical team moves forward and we wish her strength for the start of her chemotherapy treatment.
