I'm so sad to learn that they did find cancer in her pathology after her abdominal surgery.

She has become a worldwide sweetheart; one we all admire much like Princess Diana. There is no info about the type of cancer, but she has started chemo.

I'm so incredibly sad. Why do bad things happen to good people????

Edited to add: You can google her videotaped announcement. Unfortunately, this is legit straight from her.

I'm upset, too.

She's a beacon of light IMO in the Royal Family. Such grace and charm and beauty.

I pray the chemotherapy works, and she is back to optimum health as soon as she possibly can be.

I was just coming here to start a Royal Family thread. I have no skin in this game, but find the whole Royal Family drama fascinating... not from the viewpoint of is what they're doing right or wrong, but the differences amongst the British people on what they feel they are owed in regards to information. There's been so much speculation about what kind of cancer they (including King Charles) have and I can see how their public platform could help so many people who perhaps don't get their usual screenings. But I absolutely respect their wish to keep private things private. I can't imagine what those three kids are going through, hearing their grandpa has cancer, and now their mom. I hate to see the paparazzi try to infringe on their right to privacy at such a vulnerable time, and I know by releasing information as Kate did today, that won't stop them from trying to get more information.

All this being said, it was a boneheaded move on whoever's part to release a photo that had been amateurly edited. If the photo hadn't been released, people would still be speculating, but when people realized it was edited, their first question is, why? Is there some sort of conspiracy?

Whatever kind of cancer she had, I hope it's easily treatable. And I consider myself so incredibly lucky that the two cancers I've had were treated without chemo.

She is well too nice and they seem really in love. Why do things happen to nice people and not bas ones?

I am concerned for her. She is a credit to her country and she possess a lot of Princess Diana traits with her compassion. It's easy to see her children adore her, as does her husband and even the King. I hope she is healed and becomes cancer free. I so wish the riff between Harry and William could be fixed. I can only imagine how sad Diana would be to see her beloved sons at odds.

I agree with you Jeaniegirl - she means so much to the country; it's like they've been given a second chance to learn from what happened to Diana, and yet, the paparazzi continues to hound the family. She and William must be terrified that their children will experience the same thing William and Harry did when their mom died when they were so young. Given how The Firm denied mental health support for both Diana and Meghan Markle, I do hope they are allowing whatever support Kate needs right now.

As for William and Harry, I think Diana would be heart-broken to see them in this rift. I hear there's a good chance of them being reunited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games next month. Fingers crossed that they can both set aside their hurt.
