Fraught with questions, that photo caused Kate to apologize for editing it after the Associated Press sent a “photo kill” order, as reported by Monsters and Critics.
Kate has now shared a video on her official X (formerly Twitter) account explaining that she has had an enormous shock and is in treatment for cancer found after her surgery.

The Royal Family is in the middle of a cancer crisis
Kate is the third member of the Royal Family to be diagnosed with cancer within a year.
King Charles was diagnosed with cancer after his enlarged prostate procedure.
He is on the mend with weekly cancer treatments and has resumed some of his behind-the-scenes duties that do not include the public. He takes extreme care because of his immune system and plans to return to public duties once his doctors allow.
Sarah Ferguson revealed that she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma after having beaten breast cancer last summer.
Now, with Kate’s diagnosis of an undisclosed cancer after her abdominal surgery, the senior royals remain in crisis.
Queen Camilla has been bearing the brunt of the load this winter while King Charles and Kate recover. Prince William has returned to his pubic duties as time allows between caring for Kate and the children.
Everyone continues to wish Kate a speedy recovery.
Kate I am so sorry you are going through this. I know prayers do wonders and you have the world praying for your fast recovery. Always stay positive it will help you heal fasters. God bless you and your beautiful family. One day at a time. You got this!
