She has asked for privacy, please the media respect what she has asked for. You will pull through it Kate no matter what type of cancer it is. My divine prayers for you.

I went through a similar experience three years ago. Got through the surgery and thought I was done, only for lab reports to come back positive for cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you heal and get through this. ❤

Months and months of bullshit rumours some of the media has been disgusting leave the girl alone

[lalainerecasata]

Let us all pray for Kate's recovery❤

[shedokoye]

Shame on all the people who have been hounding her and her family all these months. I wish her speedy recovery.

She shouldn't have even have had to say this! She already explained she would be taking some time away from public duties, but the press and idiotic people couldn't leave her alone!

[lisakeell]

NOW for goodness sake leave her alone to go through her treatment and stop the continual daily speculations. She has a young family to worry about and does not need the vile conspiracies

[pamelacommons]

It's hard enough dealing with the cancer diagnosis without the whole world watching you.. Praying for the whole family🙏

[Bigheartrolling]

So brave to see her reveal this. Media forced her to come out before she was ready, while she is sick. Hoping she can now focus on her health and children. 🙏

[Dpixtion]

She said what she had to say, leave her alone so she can heal. Don’t turn her into another Diana, where media is chasing her down let her live her life with her family…..

[acustomer]

OMG stop prying for more details! Cancer is cancer, let her recover and look after her family.

[kats]

That was very emotional. 😢 I hope she makes a full recovery! ❤

[Jaybird-it]

Are you all happy. NOW LEAVE HER ALONE. 😈 MEDIA

[juanitayancey]

Her health is her business. Here's wishing Princess Kate peace, health, and happiness and a speedy recovery.

God Bless Princess Catherine. Hoping her treatment is not too difficult and she gains strength every day from the surgery itself. Prayers for Catherine and the entire family. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Sending love and support to our beloved Princess. Wishing her a speedy recovery and all the privacy she deserves.

I guess it would be important to leave her alone in order to recover.

Poor William. His brother turned on him, then he finds out his father and wife have cancer. Then a good friend commits suicide. Yet he's out there, in the public eye, working. This poor family, really.
