Kate Middleton’s status and state were unknown for several months. Regarding her January stomach surgery, Kensington Palace has only provided a few tidbits of information, and Prince William has only given the public a few basic insights when doing formal royal obligations. While neither King Charles nor Queen Camilla made any announcements, Kate disclosed last Friday that she had received a cancer diagnosis.

The details of Kate’s disease are undisclosed, however the palace has said that she would like them to remain private. In the meanwhile, the family enjoyed plenty of time together during their three-week holiday at Anmer Hall near Sandringham around Easter.

Kate Middleton was the subject of considerable scrutiny after it was discovered that her Mother’s Day portrait had been changed. Thankfully, Queen Camilla is one member of the family that has handled backlash from the general people and media. She and Kate Middleton get along so well that this week, after Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis was made public, the queen spoke out about her for the first time.
