Upon the “out of nowhere” announcement of her condition, a Kensington Palace spokesman said: “The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. Prince William, the Prince of Wales, expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of love and encouragement received during this challenging time. According to royal sources, he emphasized the Princess’s unwavering determination to overcome adversity and her commitment to prioritizing her health and well-being.
British royal family news reveals that last week Princess Kate Middleton announced to the world that she is undergoing cancer treatment, an unexpected event following her January abdominal surgery.
She and Prince William have three children–Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis–and she included them in her announcement which read in part: “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”
Kate added that “William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” she added.
Kate and William married in April 2011 at Westminster Abbey. George arrived in July 2013, followed by Charlotte in 2015, and Louis in May 2018. Here are some of the memorable quotes the couple have said about their three adorable children.
Royal Family News – Little Rascal
William spoke about Charlotte on the show Talk Vietnam in November 2016: “Having a daughter is a very different dynamic. So I’m learning … [George is] a right little rascal sometimes. He keeps me on my toes, but he’s a sweet boy.”
Kate told a crowd at Mitchell Brook Primary School in February 2017 that “My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life. That is why William and I want to teach our little children, George and Charlotte, just how important these things are as they grow up. In my view it is just as important as excelling at maths or sport.”
Royal Family News – Respect And Honesty
In 2014 William joked about 9-month-old George’s level of noisiness. The family was staying at the New Zealand’s governor’s residence when he said “I hope that George doesn’t keep you up. He has been known to be particularly vocal at 3 a.m. … I swear I heard him doing the haka this morning.”
William also shared that George has a fascination with tractors. He spoke to a farmer working in the royal family’s Duchy of Cornwall for a documentary in 2019 and remarked “I should have brought George today. He would be absolutely loving this. … He’s obsessed.”
In 2016 the Duchess wrote in Huffington Post UK about how she and William are raising George and Charlotte to talk about their feelings: “We hope to encourage George and Charlotte to speak about their feelings, and to give them the tools and sensitivity to be supportive peers to their friends as they get older. We know there is no shame in a young child struggling with their emotions or suffering from a mental illness.”
