Last week, Prince William's wife shocked the public with an admission about her health. It turned out that she disappeared from the public eye due to cancer.
In mid-January of this year, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, underwent abdominal surgery. After this, doctors diagnosed her with cancer, which became a real test for her. However, Kate decided to keep it a secret and continued to care for her three children.
Only recently did the Duchess of Cambridge decide to share her story with the public. The video of her performance generated a lot of interest, and body language expert Chris Pardo analyzed it. She noted that Kate seemed very confident, but it was not easy for her. At the beginning of the video, Kate thanked her subjects for their support and made it clear that she was confident in the professionalism of the doctors who were treating her.

However, experts also noticed that the Duchess was deliberately silent about her illness, waiting for her children to start their school holidays. This allowed her to protect Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte from unpleasant rumors and gossip. Gertrude Daly, another expert on British monarchs, shared her views, agreeing with this view. She noted that in this way Kate could be sure that her children would not become an object of gossip at school. In addition, the Duchess only recently began her battle with cancer, after she recovered from abdominal surgery.
Prince William is very worried about his wife's fatal illness. He faces difficulties and experiences enormous stress. On the one hand, he is proud of Kate for her resilience and courage in announcing her diagnosis to her subjects. On the other hand, the future heir to the throne is emotionally depressed. William does everything he can to support his family. He deals with the children's school work and is under enormous stress. Kate's illness and the public attention to this case became a huge burden for him.
Middleton's recognition caused a wide response in society. Shannen Doherty recently approached the Princess of Wales with words of support. The 52-year-old actress herself survived cancer, so she understands Kate like no one else. The star of the series “Charmed” admired the courage of Prince William’s wife and noted that she fought a serious illness, despite the onslaught from the public. Kate's disappearance from the public gave rise to many rumors not only about her health, but also her personal life. It was rumored that Middleton hid from everyone because of her husband’s mistress, but this information was not confirmed.
