The Royal Family is known as a very well respected and tolerated family. On the 22nd of March, Princess of Wales; Catherine, known as Kate, went on a live broadcast and told us [the public] something that would finally debunk fake rumours.
At 20:22, the Princess told us that she was having ongoing chemotherapy for cancer. There were former allegations that Prince William was cheating but they were all shut down by the Princess as she explained the reason they were not out very much was that she had cancer and they caught cancer cells whilst she was at an abdominal operation in January. Also the chemotherapy may have side effects like hair loss, more likely to get infections and feeling tired.
As it is her private information, she asked for own personal privacy. A spokesperson said:
“We will not be sharing any further private medical information. The Princess has a right to medical privacy as we all do.”
In the video message recorded on Wednesday and broadcasted Friday, Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she recovers.
She also thanked the “fantastic medical team” who have been treating her.
Although the Princess is having a tough time she is persevering by sending a positive message, saying: “I am well and getting stronger every day.”
Everyone here are the Young Journalist Academy wishes her well.
