UK royals 'touched' by public support as family reels from 'beloved' Kate's cancer diagnosis

Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales, waves after visiting Copper Box Arena to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Coach Core in London on 13 October 2022. Britain's Catherine announced cancer diagnosis on 22 March 2024.

The announcement ended weeks of speculation about Catherine's health, with many praising her courage and others criticising the conspiracies that spread over her absence. "The prince and princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness' message," Catherine and her husband, Prince William, the heir to the throne, said in a statement released late Saturday.They are extremely moved by the public's warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.

Charles - who was just 17 months into his reign when Buckingham Palace announced in February he would be cancelling all public engagements - led tributes to his"beloved daughter-in-law".Following other warm words from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the White House, British newspapers hailed her courage.

The Daily Mail tabloid denounced the"social media trolls who have been peddling disgusting conspiracy theories to explain her absence from public life".Finance minister Jeremy Hunt, whose younger brother died of cancer last year, told Sky News on Sunday that"the thing that really cut me to the quick was when she explained the hardest thing of all for people who've had cancer in their family, which is how you tell your kids".

In the video - recorded on Wednesday in Windsor, west of London, where the future queen and king live with their three young children - she insisted she was"well".
