Kate Middleton disclosed that she has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy in a video message posted in March 2024. Following months of unrelenting speculations on social media amid her hospitalization for an undisclosed stomach surgery in January, the announcement was made. 

Kate requested “time, space, and privacy” as she underwent treatment for an unidentified malignancy that was found following “major” surgery. The details of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis were disclosed, and she stated that she was receiving “a course of preventive chemotherapy.” Preventive (also known as adjuvant) chemotherapy.
