Shock in the United Kingdom following Princess Catherine’s cancer diagnosis

The Princess Catherine He put an end to the rumors that spread after staying away from the public eye for almost two months. Last Friday, the wife of William, Prince of Wales, announced that she suffers from cancer. Not only has the population shown its support, but several felt “embarrassed” for replicating theories days ago about the state of health of the future queen.

“Catherine, you are not alone,” wrote The Sun, echoing the shock and affection for the Princess of Wales in the United Kingdom. The Daily Mail attacked social media commentators “who have been peddling disgusting conspiracy theories to explain her absence from public life”.

The Times clung to the princess’s positive speech in the message in which she announced her cancer, with a hopeful “I will get through this.” While people on the street this Saturday condemned the press speculation about the princess’s health.

The AFP Agency reports that Princess Catherine is very loved in the United Kingdom“and she probably has the same popularity that Princess Diana, mother of her husband and heir to the crown, William, 41, enjoyed in her day.”

The tests that Catalina underwent after her abdominal operation showed that she suffered from cancer. She is currently undergoing preventive chemotherapy treatment, which began at the end of February, according to the British agency PA.

“Preventive chemotherapy after surgery is given to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back in the future,” said Andrew Beggs, lead clinical investigator and colorectal surgeon at the University of Birmingham.

“It’s terrible news. It’s a shock“, royal family expert Richard Fitzwilliams, who appears on several television channels as an analyst on the monarchy, told AFP.

“The way he announced his illness was very emotional“, he pointed. “But there is no doubt that this is a very difficult time for the institution of the monarchy,” he added.

Second diagnosis

Within a period of two months, the British royal family has found that two of its most important members, the king Charles III and his daughter-in-law Catalina, are affected by cancer, the nature of which has not been specified in either case.

Added to this is that Sarah Ferguson, ex-wife of prince andrew, brother of the king, announced in January that he suffers from serious skin cancer.

Carlos III, 75, whose cancer was announced on February 5, after having been discovered in a prostate operation he underwent, said he was “proud of the bravery” of his daughter-in-law.

Prince Henry, William’s younger brother, and his wife Meghanwho broke with the royal family and live in California, expressed in a statement their wish for “health and recovery to Catalina and the family.”
