Princess Kate announced on Friday March 22 that she was suffering from cancer. Without specifying its nature, she said she had started chemotherapy.
The announcement comes after months of controversy and speculation over Prince William's public absence. Kate is the third member of the royal family to announce the news since she has started the cancer treatment. The Princess of Wales, who is adored by the British, said she hoped the public would understand that her family “needs time and respect for our space and our private lives”
