    Finally, glad that information has been extracted from her. Now we can go and move on to the next person to make up stories about and harass online.

    The internet, 2024.

    Didn’t expect that. Hopefully she’ll beat it! Can’t imagine trying to reconcile that you’ve got cancer and then the public are making up conspiracy theories about you and your husband.

    William has basically just found out his dad and wife both have cancer, that’s got to be tough.

      I wonder if they’d even announced it had it not been for the media frenzy over the last month or so. Can’t imagine trying to shield your children from this.

      They released an official statement saying the woman had personally photoshopped her own photo because graphic design is her passion.

      This really wasn’t the general public’s fault.

    Impressive that she got from diagnosis to treatment so fast on the NHS.

    With the focus on politics we tend to forget that there are human beings behind the role.

    Cancer is shit, and I hope she gets through it well. I don’t say that as someone with Anarchism tattoos (I have two), I say it as a human being. Like goddamn guys.

      Totally with you. I’d do away with the monarchy in a heartbeat if I could…but I’ll never cheer on someone going through a rough time in this way. Hope he makes a full recovery, same with Princess Katherine.

    I may have missed it, but it doesn’t seem like they said the type of cancer. Not a great sign.

      It says she expects to make a full recovery.

      In the video she says that she underwent abdominal surgery and at the time they thought it wasn’t cancerous, but subsequent tests showed that it was. And they she was recommended to have preventative chemo.

      Sounds to me like they removed an abdominal tumour, it was probably successfully removed, and now she’s getting chemo just in case there’s any spreading or any they missed.

      The news article/statement I read has it related to major abdominal surgery from back in January. So none of the good kinds. Not that any cancer is good.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment," said the princess.

    Catherine and Prince William are now not expected to appear with the Royal Family on Easter Sunday, and there won’t be any early return to official duties for the princess.

    The palace also said Prince William’s sudden absence from a memorial service in late February was because of the discovery of Catherine’s cancer diagnosis.

    The couple have faced intense public speculation and a social media frenzy about her health, since her operation in January.

    In her video statement, she spoke about the support from her family: "Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too.

    Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Catherine had shown “tremendous bravery” with her statement, wishing her a “speedy recovery”.


    The original article contains 512 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 71%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    I’m sure she’s getting the best treatment on our dime, the parasite. I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone.

    Someone getting cancer treatment in a timely manner should not be the news. A third of patients, over 100,000 people, currently wait over 62 days to start treatment. She managed to get care within about 4 weeks.

    She is a person and this will be a hard time for her personally, but far, far worse outcomes are being inflicted on people just as deserving of life-saving treatment due to their lowly standing in society.
