King Charles Hails Kate’s Courage After Cancer News

King Charles III is “so proud of Catherine for her courage” in speaking about her treatment for cancer, Buckingham Palace has said.

The King, who has been diagnosed with cancer himself, is in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law”, a short statement read.

Support has poured in for the princess, who described her diagnosis as a “huge shock” in a video released on Friday.

She has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy since late February.

The princess said it had been an “incredibly tough couple of months” for her family but she was “well and getting stronger every day”.

Her news comes six weeks after King Charles paused his public appearances following a cancer diagnosis himself.

The two were briefly treated at the London Clinic private hospital at the same time.

Catherine had a planned abdominal surgery there in January, and the King was admitted for a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate.

His Majesty is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did’,” Buckingham Palace said.

King Charles and Queen Camilla, who were informed of the news about the princess’s health before Friday’s announcement, said they would “continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time”.
