Kate Middleton has been diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing chemotherapy as part of the treatment.

Kate Middleton has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment, according to Buckingham Palace. This announcement comes amidst efforts by the Royal Family, particularly Prince William, to move past recent controversies.

The Princess underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic on January 16 for what was initially believed to be a non-cancerous condition, coinciding with King Charles' treatment at the same facility. However, biopsy results revealed the presence of cancer.

Since then, the 42-year-old has been receiving preventative chemotherapy and is recovering from both the surgery and treatment over the past three months. The Palace initially described her operation as successful, anticipating a hospital stay of up to two weeks before her return home for continued recovery.

Following her discharge, Kate withdrew from official duties for three months, with plans to resume after the Easter weekend, though the full extent of her condition was not officially disclosed until now. The Palace stated that it would be up to Kate to decide when she feels ready to resume her royal duties.

Speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding Kate's absence from public life have circulated, fueled by a doctored image released by Kensington Palace and reported attempts by hospital staff to access her medical records.

An internal investigation at the London Clinic is underway, with the hospital's chief executive pledging to take appropriate investigatory and disciplinary actions.
