The Daily Mail

The fleeting reappearance, conditional on how the king feels during the week, will not, however, mean his return to public events, which may still be delayed for weeks or months. Kate Middleton, whose presence was speculated
to be part of a "soft return"

Cancer treatment with chemicals, intravenously or orally, can be done at home under medical supervision. Therapy can last
for weeks or months
and cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea or hair loss.
Despite her physical weakness, and to confront speculation and conspiracy theories about her health, Kate Middleton personally decided to face the cameras and write
her own speech in one fell swoop and in a very short time
, according to a close friend. from the Princess of Wales to
The Sunday Times
.
"He felt that he had to do it because of who he is, because he knows that he is a public figure with a
sense of leadership and responsibility
," the same sources declared to Sunday. "She decided that a video would be more effective than a statement and she wrote every word."
In an official note, released on Saturday night by Kensington Palace, Kate and William have tried to leave the controversy of recent weeks behind by thanking and recognizing themselves as
"enormously moved"
by the public's support in recent years. weeks.
