Kate Middleton Sparks New Health Fears After Sharing Heartbreaking Cancer Update
Kate Middleton has sparked new health concerns after she shared a heartbreaking update on her cancer journey.
The Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024, after rumors circulated on social media about her disappearance from public life.
In a clip revealing the devastating news, Middleton said: “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful.
“However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
Since then, Kate has shared numerous updates on her health, but spoke more recently about the struggles of recovering from treatment.
Just yesterday (September 5), the princess debuted her new blonde hair as she joined Prince William for their first royal engagement since the summer holidays at London’s Natural History Museum.
She’s been a patron of the museum since 2013, and paid a visit to learn about the gardens that are used as teaching resources.
But it was Kate’s lighter look that captured the attention of those on social media, as some claimed that the new hair was a wig.
During her visit to The Royal Marsden Hospital in January, she spoke with a fellow cancer patient who was using a cold cap during chemotherapy treatment.
According to the American Cancer Society, cold capping is a scalp cooling system that can help reduce hair loss during the treatment.
But during the conversation, Kate noted that she hadn’t used this.
Princess Diana’s hairstylist, Sam McKnight, has since spoken out in a furious rage concerning claims that the princess might have been wearing a wig.
Writing on Instagram, he said: “I am shocked, horrified, dismayed and disgusted by all the nasty comments about the Princess of Wales today.
“A woman’s hair is very personal to her, it’s armor, defense, confidence, and so much more.
“I cannot believe how lacking in any kind of empathy are the comments, the majority made apparently by other women, attacking a vulnerable other young woman, who has no choice, by dint of who she married and the role she took on, to bravely face the public.”
During her most recent cancer update, while visiting a hospital garden in Essex, UK, she spoke about finding her ‘new normal.’
The princess said candidly: “You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment.
“Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.”
The 43-year-old added: “You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to.
“And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”
