The unexpected cancer diagnosis of Kate Middleton, also known as Catherine, Princess of Wales, has garnered an outpouring of support from prominent figures around the world. First Lady Jill Biden, Ivanka Trump, Casey DeSantis, and Lauren Sanchez have all expressed their solidarity with Middleton during this difficult time.
Middleton shared the news of her diagnosis in a video message posted on social media from Windsor. In response, Jill Biden took to Twitter to send a message of love and support, calling Middleton brave and expressing her love for her. Ivanka Trump, former first daughter, also sent her love and prayers to Middleton and her family, urging others to respect Middleton’s privacy and send positive thoughts her way.
Lauren Sanchez and Casey DeSantis, who battled breast cancer in 2021 and won the fight a year later, also sent messages of support to Middleton. DeSantis, in particular, shared words of encouragement from one mom to another, emphasizing faith, strength, and resilience in the face of the diagnosis.
The specific type and stage of Middleton’s cancer have not been disclosed by Kensington Palace, which has requested that people refrain from speculating. The news of Middleton’s diagnosis comes after weeks of speculation and rumors surrounding her prolonged absence from the public eye.
This announcement also follows the news of King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis in February. The 75-year-old monarch of the U.K. and 14 other Commonwealth realms was diagnosed with cancer following a hospital procedure for benign prostate-related issues.
The British Royal Family has been embroiled in controversy following the release of a heavily edited photo of Middleton and her family to address concerns about her absence. Instead of quelling rumors, the edited photo sparked further controversy and criticism.
In times of hardship, it is heartwarming to see prominent figures come together to show their support and solidarity. Middleton’s battle with cancer serves as a reminder of the importance of strength, resilience, and the power of love and support from those around us.
