I think part of her different look is the lack of significant makeup although I am sure her treatment is daunting. Hard to process both her and King Charles at the same time.
It was brave of her but I think necessary as the speculation was becoming too much and all the talk of William in an affair made it so much worse. I do think it was necessary giving the lives they lead but I do believe she deserves her privacy.
It just makes it all the more major in that one really doesn't have that much if they don't have their health first. Of course they still have alot but it becomes useless if unhealthy. I hope her family cope as best as possible.
Alva , perhaps the princess simply does not want to share and “ get it out of the way “. . I don’t blame her . She doesn’t owe explanations. She waits until she feels she has to share . She now looks ill , she probably thought she would explain why before it gets noticed and more rumors fly .
No doubt more rumors will fly about the fact that she was alone in the video . Perhaps she thought she would appear strong if she was alone in the video . Or perhaps talking about it with her husband next to her brings her to tears. Only she knows what was best for her . She can’t win whether she shares or not . The tabloids will put a spin on it .
So agree with Burnt on this statement. Was beautifully done. I wish her much luck.
And yes, Way. When someone is a public figure, and the Royal family is that, then there will be much guesswork and conjecture. I myself think it is great to be honest, get it out of the way. Whatever type of cancer she has, whether stomach, ovarian or uterine, she will not be alone in facing it down. I cannot imagine anyone but someone not worth considering wishing her anything but the best.
Geaton , Assuming what has been released in the past was true , I doubt it was Whipple .
They said it was a planned surgery and that they expected it to not be cancer , however it came back cancerous .
This is my guess . A planned major abdominal surgery could have been a hysterectomy .
They said they did not expect to find cancer but they did . My guess for this part is that she had uterine fibroids . Either the fibroids came back cancerous or while doing surgery they found somethlng else while they were in there doing her surgery . Possibly ovarian .
Of course I could be dead wrong . But I’ve never heard of a Whipple being “ a planned surgery that was expected to not be cancer “, which is how this has been described the entire time .
They have said they were shocked it came back as cancer .
Princess Kate handled that televised statement with so much class. That is a true queen right there. The public can speculate all they want about her cancer and what kind she has. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation of her medical history.
It’s sad . Most likely they are wanting to keep the type of cancer private to shield the children from hearing comments regarding prognosis, so they are not releasing where her cancer is.
Sadly assumptions, rumors etc will be made anyway and conjecture , possible prognosis will be discussed . The news outlets will bring in their “ experts” to comment on what this could be , how she may fare etc .
The fact that they are not revealing the site may mean it’s bad . Or the princess just wants her privacy . Either way the news will have a field day with this despite the Princess in her video today asking for “ time, space, and privacy”.
I feel sorry for them all . I’m sure it is scary for them all as well as a reminder that Will lost his own mum as a child .
Alva, her video statement doesn't mention what specific cancer. An official statement will confirm whatever it is as some point. But because of her description of the surgery and our personal family experince with PC, it's the first thing I thought of.
Geaton, have you heard this is pancreatic? I am hearing ovarian. Heard also conjecture of a spread to the bowel. As with all things in this royal family, I guess we will be drip fed the news; I am uncertain why they would wish to make it a guessing game, but apparently they do.
Yes, Way. Definitely a real film today, of her saying that she does have cancer and is getting treatment.
She looks ill in today’s video . Pale , face thinner . Also that amateur video of her last week out shopping with Will, I noticed her thighs were very thin in leggings . Her jacket was too big on her too .
Those who have heard Princess Kate's announcement today will know she apparently has cancer diagnosis. Other sources (UNCONFIRMED) say this is ovarian cancer and that there may be involvement also of the bowel. If you are familiar with ovarian you know it is often found late and it is often found already with some spred to other organs in the omentum. She is asking for privacy, being treated. I surely do wish her the best. I have two friends with cancer of the ovaries. One is 3 years out from treatment with no recurrance. The other is battling widely spread cancer for now 11 years, the longest I have heard of surviving with mets. She has undergone THREE notorious "shake and bake" surgeries, and untold other surgeries, now having undergone urostomy placement. She is a fighter like none I have ever seen, but this is a particularly nasty cancer to deal with and I for one wish the Princess the very best. I think we all knew that this was pretty serious, whatever it is, and now we know what it is.
My father had a surface Melanoma removed in his late 60’s, without evidence of metatasis. He did no treatment after the surgery . 15 years later he felt a lump , it was melanoma in a lymph node, which led to the discovery that it was in his lung , liver, adrenal glands. The doctor said cells can lay dormant for years in a lymph node undetected then come to life and it spreads . ( Maybe these days they would handle my father’s first bout a bit differently . First bout was at least 20 years ago . They are always learning ) . Second time He did IV and chemo pills , and radiation . He also did immunotherapy , when it was a new thing ) . He lived 6 more years with it ( at bay ) . Most of the tumors went away. But a few stayed and shrunk , but never went away . He died at 88 when it came back as a very fast growing tumor in his abdomen , size of a football.
I'm not trying to be rude itrr.... and I do believe in miracles myself. Just saying surface moles can and DO lead to metastasized cancer quite easily with aggressive cancers like melanoma. The docs are not sure how, but it's thought that when the mole is surgically removed originally, a cell or 2 escapes and gets into the bloodstream. That said, it's not always a death sentence either.....even as deadly as melanoma is. I'm cancer free almost a year now and it's possible to STAY that way, with God's help.
I know you think my belief is silly but, I have seen miracles and I don't care what others think of my beliefs but, to say it's silly is just being rude.
Sorry, I don't agree that it is a death sentence and it can be stage 4 from a surface mole, I have seen differently and believe that it can be caught early and dealt with without the experience you had.
No matter how "early" melanoma is caught, it's deadly and hangs on for dear life. Mine was an "in situ" beauty mark on my arm, meaning on the surface only. It was surgically removed with all clear margins, and spread to my bones, spine, liver and lymph nodes in short order, leaving me with stage 4 cancer.
Good luck to Sarah or whichever royal has melanoma (not basal cell). My oncologist told me of one of his patients who had melanoma return 25 years after the original cancer was surgically removed from her ankle. Melanoma is an aggressive beast.
I heard that Sarah had an aggressive type of melanoma but, due to good medical care it was caught early.
That family can't seem to catch a break lately. Prayerfully things will turn out well for all of them. I am still praying that The Lord will touch the ill ones and be with their families during these difficult times.
Oh, Lordy. Here we go. No, Kate, the Princess of Wales does NOT have malignant melanoma. The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson has skin cancer. I don't know that anyone said what type, or not, but she is no the Princess of Wales. See how this all happens. Hee hee. But whatever any of them out there are suffering from I know we all wish them well!
Just saw on TV news she has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma....her worst nightmare.
Apparently she's already had breast cancer. I'm sure they will remove it to clear margins pronto, since it the deadliest of all skin cancers.
My love of Maui and inability to put sunscreen on my back resulted in removal of 4 basal cell skin cancers in 2019. Don't skimp on sunscreen, I learned the hard way.
I’m usually only interested in the minutiae of the royal family when something noteworthy is going on, such as the queen’s funeral. I happened to be in London on the day that Prince William was born, and that was fun too. There was a celebration with bands and patriotic things at Battersea Park and that was fun to do; people were dancing in the grass and on the walkways, waving British flags. But I’m mostly interested because it’s history in the making. I love the lessons of history, but we don’t know what they are until years hence.
It's kind of like my fixation on Moonstruck, cwillie. Or on Chariots of Fire. Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet. The Bishop's Wife. The Godfather. It's a story. A saga. An entertainment. King Geo learning not to stutter so he could give an uplifting speech in WW II during the war. The princesses giving hope to the UK populace in WW II. Di's tragic marriage. I know. Now that we know they are real people, and boy did Di and Chas teach us THAT quick, it's not the same. But you know, Queen Victoria's wedding and more, what she was BURIED WITH IN HER COFFIN! I love that stuff. The gossip. The gossip. Give me all the gossip. Don't love it enough to buy a tabloid, but you know, if you ever saw the movie--The Madness of King George, where in the end, after all the madness, he's out there in his wig with his family saying "Smile. Wave. It's what we're here for."
THAT's for sure. They aren't there for much else anymore. About as much use as a Disney princess, their own Princesses. No, maybe not as much use, as the Disney princesses can keep the kids quiet for quite a while!
So I understand for certain that some aren't into the tabloid gossip. I myself prefer the plastic surgery failed makeovers. But I don't understand the sort of "meanness". Just sayin. I don't. And it makes me wonder what it comes out of. Maybe just our general human meanness, because boy, we got that in heaps to be sure.
Alva - the American fixation with the British royal family has always bewildered me. I think a lot of the current interest is due to the Netflix show that makes everyone think they have the inside scoop 🙄
AlvaDeer, about not trusting the source if it's not The Palace, I felt that way too. Then I looked up Concha Calleja, the reporter. She is a Spanish journalist who lives in Madrid or Barcelona, and she's written many books about famous people. One of her books is about Princess Diana. This would explain how she might have a contact within the royal household or on the palace staff who would be informative.
OMG, I don't think people hate princesses! I want to be one! In fact, I wanted to be either Queen Elizabeth II or the Pope, but alas, it didn't happen. They both had beautiful clothes, wore fancy hats, and had nice rides.
I had a bladder prolapse repair a couple of years ago. They sent me home the same day. I never should have been sent home so early.
I had complications, was back in the ER, twice. 1st one, readmitted for 2 days. 2nd one, for at least a week.
If Kate is going through any of that hell, she won’t be feeling like she’s living in any darn palace, that’s for sure. I feel bad for her. It was AWFUL.
Yes, she is not going to be in a room with 4 walls. Her children will be able to be with and her husband. We here in the US release patients too soon. My daughter was an admitting nurse for Rehab and she has refused to admit patients because they are not ready for rehab. So, maybe this is the way the Royals get away from it all.
I think that I would not trust any expose materials about what is happening here. If you didn't get it from the Palace it likely didn't happen.
What kind of surprises me here is how much we hate princesses? Or is it just her? I kind of don't get it? Is it the wealth thing?
WAIT! It's that whole American Revolution thing! We didn't quite get over it yet?
Anyway, I have quite loved watching the Royals all my life. I mean they provide us a world of good gossip, do they not? My favorite bit has always been Charles wishing he were a tampon. THAT one truly got to me! And Camilla makes just the loveliest Cruella since Cruella herself. Talk about a true survivor! She's only missing the dalmatian pups.
Alas, LovingHusband would deny us our levity, but personally I am facing down the Big C. again this week, and I have to say I was just telling my daughter this morning, if I couldn't LAUGH about it all, I cannot see a reason to even TRY to survive it! Right? Irony and laughter are the only things that have got me THIS far! Love helps, but if it's love without laughter, fo-ged-aboud-it.
My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. It's unfathomable that this (whatever it is) should be happening to someone who was so fit and healthy beforehand. It reminds me to appreciate every single minute, no matter how difficult things in my life are at present.
Hope she recovers . Scary for the kids especially . I know in the original announcements the reason they gave for the secrecy was to protect the children .

Prayers and support to the Princess!
