I'm not very emotionally invested in Princess Kate (just a Millennial from Tennessee who thought her wedding dress was beautiful years ago), but this video about made me cry. My husband underwent surgery and chemotherapy last year and we have two small boys. I totally understand the struggle of explaining how this thing that makes you feel and look sick is actually making you better. I pray her children keep their childlike joy during this experience and for strength to endure for William and Kate.

Please leave her family alone now. Prayers for her and their family.

We love you 💖

Stress is detrimental for someone trying to fight cancer. People really need to leave her alone, as she is under enormous stress/anxiety. She needs peace, tranquility, and rest to fight this.

As a cancer survivor, I feel so bad for her. And awful for William.

I hate that this woman despite her status as a senior Royal and crown Princess had to be forced to disclose her health struggles. Its not humain how she was treated, it amounts to bullying at the worst degree we have seen. From Hospital records breach to media conspiracies. The Princess of Wales deserves better than what she got from all sorts of media. She has a right to privacy to process her diagnosis and treatment. it's a serious diagnosis. Shame on all media shame you all.

Likely the public will be VERY supportive of Catherine and the Wales' family. Hopefully the media will be respectful and cease from their bullying manner.

How tough that she has to share this with the whole world after they were freaking out. They are normal human beings too. Give them their privacy.

No one should be bullied into discussion their diagnosis and medical treatments. Shame on those people who did it to her!
