The Princess of Wales he has cancer. It is neither the first nor the last one could claim. Kate and William have tried to keep this very personal and extremely difficult time for their family private.

However, this was made impossible by the “whirlwind of rumours” and conspiracy theories, which “overwhelmed” the traditional press, digital media, but also social media.

Unfortunately, there have also been many celebrities who have “maintained” these theories, some have strongly criticized the “teased” photos, and are now apologizing and apologizing on their personal accounts. Hypocrisy abounds, but we are now convinced that we are in the “end times”…

The news that she is suffering from cancer was revealed by the Queen herself. Many are hoping – others not so optimistic – that Kate has put an “end” to months of speculation and widespread conspiracy theories that have gained ground during her absence from public life following major abdominal surgery in January.

In the taped video statement (371 words), Kate said that, following her previously announced successful surgery in January, tests revealed she had cancer. She added that, at the end of February, she began preventive chemotherapy and that she had taken time to process the “shock” of her diagnosis with her husband Prince William. Together, Kate added, the couple had taken the time to explain the diagnosis to their three children.

In the wake of the announcement, messages of support flooded social media from around the world: from her family, other royals, celebrities and global figures.
