Worldwide support pours in for Kate, the Princess of Wales, after shocking cancer reveal

Support has poured in from around the world for Kate, the Princess of Wales, after she revealed in a candid video message that she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer following major abdominal surgery. Support on Saturday came after the princess spoke about the “huge shock” and “incredibly tough couple of months” for her family after her diagnosis. The poignant message follows weeks of frenzied speculation on social media about her health and well-being. The announcement will at least partly tamp down the intense and sometimes fantastical speculation and conspiracy theories about her condition that have multiplied on social media since Kensington Palace announced in mid-January that she had been hospitalized for unspecified abdominal surgery.
