Prince William has left Kate Middleton overnight. It’s his first trip of this kind in months, and with good reason.

During recent months, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s lives have been “hell,” as some reports have put it.

Kate’s cancer battle is the most significant factor. But it is not the only issue that the Prince and Princess of Wales are facing.

Even the monarchy’s harshest critics can understand why William has avoided straying far from home. This is his first overnight trip since Kate’s diagnosis.

Kate Middleton received her cancer diagnosis in January

On Thursday, May 9, Prince William took a major step. He embarked upon his first overnight trip away from the Princess of Wales following her cancer diagnosis, let alone her cancer reveal to the public.

According to a report by Fox News, William feels “very relaxed” about the decision. Despite the circumstances.

Part of that may be the purpose of his trip. He traveled to the Duchy of Cornwall (an estate that belongs to him as crown prince) to work on a housing project.

Ian Pelham is a royal expert, and he spoke about Prince William’s housing project that took him away from Kate Middleton (for a short time).

“Homeward, the charity for homeless people, is very much at the heart of what William wishes to drive forward,” Pelham emphasized. “And, in reality, is only a short flight away if Kate had any sudden issues.”

The expert explained: “As the Prince of Wales, he also inherits the Duchy of Cornwall, where he is staying overnight in the county.”

Though William takes after Charles in some unfortunate ways, he also walks in his late mother’s footsteps

“I know through contacts close to William working with him on the project that he works tirelessly every day to make the rough sleepers project work,” Pelham continued.

Notably, “rough sleepers” is a very British euphemism for people experiencing homelessness. The euphemism understates the predicament, as if they were insomniacs, but it could be much worse.

“There are several sites around the country which he hopes will be developed to offer rough sleepers support,” Pelham added.

“Obviously, William feels that Kate is on the mend now,” Pelham then asserted.

“And,” the royal expert then reported, “he has been very relaxed leaving London and seen in Cornwall.”

Pelham was quick to pivot to discussing the house-building project. He teased that William is likely to make further visits, and to involve “one of the richest men in Britain.”

Leaving Kate overnight is a big step

With the exception of the documented, grim phenomenon of men who abandon their wives during cancer treatments, most loving partners are reluctant to leave a cancer patient’s side. They might need you. Or things could very rapidly become worse.

But Prince William knows that Kate Middleton has first-rate medical care. He also has a lot of responsibilities. British taxpayers contribute tens of millions to his family every year and afford them vast legal and political privileges. Giving back is part of that social contract.

And given King Charles’ cancer battle, it’s possible that William’s role within the family may expand sooner than anyone had imagined.

Prince William Leaves Kate Middleton Overnight in First Trip Since Cancer Diagnosis was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Prince Harry won’t be visiting with his ailing father King Charles on his trip to the UK this week.

And not because he doesn’t want to!

Apparently, the King is too busy to make time for his youngest son.

…Awkward!

Prince Harry Won’t See Dad King Charles in London Due to Monarch’s ‘Full’ Schedule

When King Charles announced he was battling cancer in February, Harry was on a plane from America to visit his father within the week. Their visit was brief, with Harry staying a mere 24 hours in the country before leaving.

On May 8, Harry returns to his country of birth to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

It seemed the perfect opportunity to reconnect with his royal family, as he has no see his father since his last trip and has not traveled to the U.K. since Kate Middleton annonced her own cancer diagnosis.

However, it sounds like no one has time for Harry right now – literally.

“In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program,” a spokesperson for Harry told The Post ahead of Harry’s visit.

The King’s schedule includes his weekly audience with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as well as the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season.

Prince Harry Snubbed By Father on Solo U.K. Trip

It’s really a shame to hear Harry won’t be seeing his dad, given the state of his health. Harry could also have used some family time, since he made the trek to London alone.

Meghan Markle and their two young kids, Archie and Lilibeth, stayed behind in California.

Still, Harry is trying to save face.

“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

As for Harry’s commitments, he’s expected to give a reading at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to mark the inaugural Invictus Games took place a decade earlier. He will stay, as he did before, in a hotel, rather than a royal residence.

Kate Middleton and Prince William are ‘going through hell’

Prince Harry will also not be seeing his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton on this trip. He has not seen his only brother and that side of the family for over a year, as tensions remain high between the two families.

Besides, it’s clear that Kate and William are going through it right now and extra drama is kind of the last thing they need.

A few days before Harry’s arrival, designer Amaia Arrieta made some seemingly offhand remarks about the royal couple while speaking to the Daily Telegraph.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment,” Arrieta expressed. “I think they are going through hell.”

Arrieta added: “I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

That paints a bleak picture of William and Kate

Most infer that Arrieta is referring to the state of the Prince and Princess of Wales as the latter undergoes cancer treatments.

In January, surgeons uncovered signs of cancer in Kate’s abdomen. Despite her status as a taxpayer-funded national symbol, many details of her diagnosis remain secret. For months, the royal firm concealed her cancer altogether, claiming that she was simply recovering from surgery.

Now, thanks in part to a colossal PR blunder by the royals, everyone knows about Kate’s condition. Like her father-in-law, she has cancer but aims to make a full recovery. We hope that she does.

Some have interpreted Arrieta’s statement as a reference to William and Kate experiencing marital problems.

From the Prince of Pegging’s alleged affairs to the alarming statistics on men leaving cancer-stricken wives, there has been a lot of speculation over the state of their royal marriage.

It is possible that Kate’s cancer diagnosis has brought other marital issues to the forefront, or at least coincided with them. Occam’s Razor, however, suggests that Arrieta is referring to Kate’s cancer crisis. Surely, that is enough “hell” for anyone.

Will the royal firm be angry with Amaia Arrieta?

In general, Kensington Palace likes to keep a strict lid on any comments that anyone with access to the royal family might make to the press. Usually, that means that negative stories about Meghan Markle are fair game, but everything else must remain under seal.

However, historically, the royal family has shown tremendous latitude towards the wardrobe department. There were times when Angela Kelly was effectively Queen Elizabeth’s personal gatekeeper.

One assumes that Arrieta’s relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales will endure.

King Charles Won’t Make Time For Prince Harry During UK Visit was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Earlier this week, Prince William stopped by James’ Place in Newscastle, a male suicide prevent center, and was asked at one point about his wife and kids.

The question came in the wake of Kate Middleton having been diagnosed with cancer.

“We’re all doing well, thank you,” the Prince of Wales replied. “We’re all doing well.”

Now, however, we have a reason to think this may not be the case.

Speaking to The Telegraph a couple days ago, Amaia Arrieta — the designer behind many of the looks worn by the spouses’ kids through the years — said something that has gone extremely viral.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell,” the fashion maven said of Kate and William, adding:

“I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

This revealing quote has left many observers of the Royal Family quite concerned.

Amaia went on to say how honored she feels to have helped dress the royals… ever since Prince George, 10, wore her brand’s corduroy shorts in a 2014 Christmas photo.

More recently, Princess Charlotte was pictured in the designer’s checked skirt on Mother’s Day — yes, we’re talking about the photo that sparked a certain editing controversy.

“Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” the designer told the Telegraph.

“They have put the traditional and classic way of dressing children on the map.”

That’s great and all, but focus is now entirely on how Middleton is feeling these days.

In late March, Middleton appeared in a video to deliver a self-written speech that confirmed her unfortunate cancer news.

Post-operative tests from her “planned abdominal surgery” in January revealed that “cancer had been present,” prompting her to start chemotherapy, she explained at the time.

Referring to the news a “huge shock,” Middleton said that she and her husband “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.”

We don’t know a lot about Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment because she and her loved ones have said very little about the star’s health over the last several weeks.

But Kate’s diagnosis came weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles, announced on February 5 that he was also undergoing treatment for cancer.

There’s a lot going on these days throughout the United Kingdom.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement back then.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William are in “Hell,” Close Friend Claims was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Kate Middleton and Prince William just marked their 13th wedding anniversary.

The Princess of Wales, of course, has been keeping a lower profile in recent weeks as she continues to deal with health issues.

After removing herself from the public eye at the start of this year, Kate recently revealed that she’s been battling cancer.

After sharing her diagnosis, Kate continued to keep a much lower profile than usual.

Earlier this month, the royals celebrated Prince Louis’ sixth birthday behind closed doors.

Now, it looks as though Kate and William took a similarly low-key approach to celebrating their anniversary.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Celebrate 13th Anniversary Privately

William and Kate acknowledged the occasion publicly by tweeting a never-before-seen photo from their wedding day.

Other than that, however, the Waleses celebrated privately.

According to to Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, the couple prefers to mark such occasions “very privately and quietly,” even in less troubled times.

Burrell says that William prefers to treat Kate “as his wife, not as a princess,” and he’s kept up the “family tradition” of presenting the princess with a piece of custom jewelry on each anniversary.

“Both his father and his grandfather fell into that tradition, they both had jewelry made for their wives on a special occasion,” the retired butler tells The New York Post.

Burrell says that Will and Kate maintain a minimal household staff, and he likely cooked for her on their anniversary.

William Cooks For Kate, Says Butler

“They don’t have a full-time cook. They borrow staff from the King whenever they have dinner parties or something formal,” Burrell reveals.

“Privately, they will muddle through themselves. William is quite capable of rustling up a decent meal in candlelight for him and Kate,” he adds.

Burrell notes that William and Kate celebrate their relationship frequently.

“[William and Kate] do have date nights outside their anniversary. They take private time out for just the two of them, they will just have a nice romantic candlelit dinner for themselves,” says Burrell.

The butler claims that these private celebrations are an important part of William and Kate’s marriage.

“They make a special effort to do that because their life is such a public one. They treasure the private moments,” he tells the Post.

Kate’s Battle Continues

Kate has chosen to keep the details regarding her health issues to herself.

That’s her right, of course, and we hope that the press and public will continue to respect her privacy.

It might be quite some time before we receive any conclusive updates regarding Kate’s condition, but we continue to wish her well, and we’re happy to hear that she’s receiving the support she needs.

How Kate Middleton Celebrated Wedding Anniversary With William Amid Cancer Battle was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

In recent weeks, there’s been a great deal of speculation surrounding Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment.

Kate revealed her diagnosis back in March, but we still have very few details about her condition.

In fact, Kate seems to be taking a cue from her father-in-law, King Charles, who is also battling cancer.

Both royals have thus far declined to offer any specifics with regard to the type or severity of their respective cancers.

Fortunately, while little is known about the specifics of Kate’s condition, the updates we’ve heard thus far have indicated that the Princess of Wales is well on her way to a full recovery.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Treatment: What Do We Know?

Again, the royals are being quite secretive about Kate’s illness and her course of treatment, so there’s very little that we can report with any certainty.

But some reliable information has been revealed, including a new report from Hello! magazine, which claims that the crisis has only strengthened Kate’s relationship with her husband, Prince William.

“It has been tough on both of them, not least as parents, as they try to reconcile their children’s mental wellbeing and the seriousness of her diagnosis,” journalist and royal expert Robert Jobson tells the outlet.

“But there is no question that William has been Catherine’s rock. He is the constant in her life, and she is at the heart of his.”

Jobson notes that William and Kate’s 13th wedding anniversary is coming up next week.

And he believes that this one will be especially meaningful as a result of everything that the Prince and Princess of Wales have endured in the past year.

“Their forthcoming anniversary is a testament to not only their love, but also their unity. I’m sure they’ll acknowledge their journey, knowing that their strength lies in being together,” Jobson said.

“The ups and downs they have weathered together have cemented their bond, which is now unshakeable.”

Kate Puts on a Brave Face For Her Kids

Other reports have indicated that Kate’s main focus these days is maintaining a sense of normalcy for her kids.

“Catherine has done her best to stick to a routine for the sake of the children,” Jobson said. “She and William know the importance of taking each day as it comes.”

Earlier this week, Kate hosted a private birthday party for Prince Louis, who turned six.

Insiders said that it was not as lavish an affair as the Waleses usually host for their kids’ birthdays.

But the fact that Kate Middleton is undergoing cancer treatment and still throwing birthday parties for her kids should be enough to put her in the running for Mother of the Year.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Oops, Andy Cohen is now saying.

His big bad.

On the Monday presentation of his Sirius XM radio show, the Bravo executive immediately used his time on air to issue a mea culpa.

Of all the famous people who questioned what was going on with Kate Middleton for several weeks, Cohen’s voice rang among the loudest.

Back on March 19, when video footage of Middleton out and about with Prince William went viral, Cohen used Twitter to push a conspiracy theory by typing simply:

“That ain’t Kate.”

From what we can now gather, of course, this was Kate Middleton.

And we’ve since learned that she has been diagnosed with cancer, hence her reluctance to step into the spotlight or speak about her condition until forced to do so.

“We’ve been off the air for a week,” Cohen explained on April 1.

“I just want to say, I am heartbroken by the news about Princess Kate. I think someone on Sky News called me a ‘numpty’ during that whole conversation, and they were right.”

He added:

“Of course, I wish I had kept my mouth shut, and we are all praying for Princess Kate and King Charles.”

In Cohen’s defense, Kensington Palace did not make it easy to understand what Middleton was going through, as a spokesperson simply said she had abdominal surgery in January.

It wasn’t clear, though, why she receded to such an extent from the public view — and then there was the family portrait Photoshop disaster.

We’ve all been very confused for a very long time, which is why Cohen and previously Blake Lively have offered apologies in the wake of learning the truth.

That truth was finally confirmed on March 22 when Middleton released a video in which she said the following:

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful.

“However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

She went on back then:

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ​OK.

“As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.”

We continue to wish Middleton the very best in her recovery and hope to see her return to her Royal Duties in the very near future.

We’re rooting for her!

Andy Cohen: Heartbroken, SO Sorry for Pushing Kate Middleton Conspiracy Theory was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

King Charles has appeared at his first royal event since Kate Middleton’s cancer reveal.

In early 2024, the royal firm unveiled King Charles’ stunning cancer diagnosis.

Following Kate Middleton’s own cancer reveal, the public realized that two of the most prominent members of this famous family are fighting similar battles.

Now, for the first time since the Princess of Wales went public, Charles has made a royal appearance in person.

The annual Faith Leaders Forum was King Charles’ first official public event since Kate Middleton’s cancer announcement

On Tuesday, March 26, King Charles met with alumni of the Windsor Leadership Trust at St. George’s House at Windsor Castle.

The event was The Faith Leaders’ Forum, inviting 18 guests. Though it is not longer referred to as the Three Faiths Forum, reports say that it still limits the addressed faiths to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Notably, those are all three Abrahamic faiths which share much in terms of history and theology. Going by U.K. demographics, the three together only account for slightly more than 50% of adherents.

The Daily Mail reports that Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Charles will join Camilla at the annual Easter Mattins Service.

This will take place at St George’s Chapel, which is also at Windsor Castle.

The palace’s statement explained Charles’ event

“The King heard about [the Windsor Leadership Trust alumni’s] involvement in The Faith Leader’s Forum,” the Royal firm’s Twitter account wrote.

The account continued: “Where they had an opportunity to openly share their experiences of leading in their communities at a time of heightened international tensions.”

While the gathering could clearly have been more inclusive and demographically representative of the United Kingdom’s diversity of faith, it’s an effort in the right direction. For all of his flaws, Charles has historically tried to be progressive.

Officially, King Charles has not disclosed what form of cancer he has. The fact that he has not shared this, but that he did make the cancer news public, has allowed people to infer that it is serious.

In fact, a recent report alleged that Charles has pancreatic cancer and an estimated two years to live.

As the head of an influential family with over $10 billion (according to estimates) in known net worth, he has access to the best healthcare on the planet. Sometimes, however, that is not enough.

King Charles and daughter-in-law Kate Middleton have something in common

Previously, their royal duties and shared (albeit very different) love for Prince William linked Kate and Charles. Now, they are both battling cancer.

There are many instances where cancer has environmental causes. However, given that both of these individuals have been wealthy for their entire lives, this is likely a tragic coincidence.

It is unclear if Charles plans to resume royal duties more regularly, or if he was simply feeling up to it for a few days.

King Charles Attends First Royal Event Since Kate Middleton Cancer Reveal: Photos was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Carole Middleton is living every parent’s nightmare at the moment:

Her daughter, Kate Middleton, has been diagnosed with cancer.

The Princess of Wales made this shocking announcement in a video she shared on social media last Friday, telling the public at the time:

“I have been doing everything [I] can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

Prior to this confirmation, Kate Middleton conspiracy theories were prevalent around the Internet, as observers tried to figure out why she had disappeared from public life after undergoing abdominal surgery on January 16.

We now know the answer, of course.

We don’t know Middleton’s type of cancer; nor do we know exactly when she might be able to resume any sort of official Royal duties.

But we know that Kate is following a “course of preventative chemotherapy” and is “now in the early stages of that treatment,” which means she’s more or less incapacitated in general.

Enter Carole Middleton.

“Carole has been the driving force keeping the family together with minimum fuss and maximum modesty,” a source recently told The Independent, referencing both her three young grandkids and a famous fictional character as follows:

“She’s ferried and fetched George, Louis and Charlotte, taken them to school sports matches and given them endless support.

“She’s been a real Mary Poppins-like figure.”

Carole is 69 years old and founded a company in 1989 that sells supplies for children’s parties.

She has mostly tried to stay out of the spotlight ever since her daughter met and then married Prince William… but folks may be seeing a lot more of her in the days and weeks ahead.

“She’s come to the rescue, provided reassurance, and has been a rock to Catherine and William as they come to terms with the news,” this same insider explains.

Middleton, of course, has been receiving words of encouragement and support from basically anyone who has ever met her ever since revealing this diagnosis.

Heck, even rivals Prince Harry and Meghan Meghan relayed a message last week that reads:

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

Most recently, Sarah Ferguson has reached out to her fellow cancer patient.

“All my thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales as she starts her treatment,” Fergie wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

“I know she will be surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome.”

Following her bombshell announcement, Middleton and Prince William went out of their way to express the gratitude for the well wishes they have received.

“The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message,” this follow-up statement says.

“They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”

Carole Middleton: Meet the Heroic Mother of Princess Kate! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

It’s very unfortunate, but it’s true:

Sarah Ferguson can relate to Kate Middleton at the moment.

The Duchess of York confirmed just this past January that she had been diagnosed with cancer for the second time, in this insance for skin cancer… just months after she announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer last June.

Relatedly, as the world found out on March 22, Middleton also has cancer.

We don’t yet know the type of cancer Middleton has been battling for just over two months now.

“All my thoughts and prayers are with the Princess of Wales as she starts her treatment,” Fergie wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

“I know she will be surrounded by the love of her family and everyone is praying for the best outcome.”

As crazy as it may be, King Charles was also recently diagnosed with cancer — and may only have two years to live.

The monarch issued his own statement in response to the Middleton news over this past weekend.

“[I am] so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” he said through a Kensington Palace spokesperson.

The statement also said the king, who received treatment in the same hospital as Princess Kate, has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks,” adding that he and his wife “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”

For her part, The Duchess of York added a day ago:

“As someone who has faced their own battles with cancer in recent months, I am full of admiration for the way she has spoken publicly about her diagnosis and know it will do a tremendous amount of good to raise awareness.

“I hope she will now be given the time, space, and privacy to heal.”

Ferguson was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 to 1996; she has remained fixture at Royal Family events and shares two daughter — Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 34 — with her controversial ex.

Earlier this month, Fergie learned that skin cancer has not spread.

It appears to be too early to know exactly what is going on with Middleton’s diagnosis and/or status.

“My medical team [has] advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she told the public in the Instagram video that confirmed her cancer.

“This came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

Following her announcement, Middleton and Prince William went out of their way to express the gratitude for the well wishes they have received.

“The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message,” this follow-up statement reads.

“They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”

Shannen Doherty can relate to Kate Middleton.

It’s tragic, but it’s true.

Late last week, the actress shared a message on Instagram shortly after Middleton revealed to the world that she has cancer.

This reveal came two months after Middleton underwent abdominal surgery and amid a number of rumors regarding just why the Princess of Wales had disappeared from public life.

Shannen Praises Kate Middleton’s Cancer Reveal

We’re sure you’ve read all about these Kate Middleton conspiracy theories at this point.

While praising Middleton for sitting calmly and explaining her condition to the world on Friday, Doherty — who is battling stage IV breast cancer — also did her best to shame the Internet trolls, haters and critics.

“Being a public figure does not mean the public owns that person. We ALL have the right to go through illness or life privately,” Doherty began.

“The onslaught of conspiracy theories, ownership, and plain, morbid curiosity forced this person to explain herself before she had come to terms with it and explained to her children.

“I pray this is a learning moment for us all to respect, privacy or others, regardless of being in the public eye.”

Doherty is sort of right here.

Yes, Middleton is entitled to privacy… but Kensington Palace clearly tried to fool the public about her status, even going so far as to force Kate to release a family portrait in honor of UK Mother’s Day.

It then forced Middleton to claim responsibility for editing the photo after it became clear the image had been doctored.

Really, all the Palace had to do as soon as the cancer was discovered (back in January) was to release a statement of its own that confirmed this unfortunate truth — and then no one would have said a single negative word.

Shannen Admires ‘Her Strength’

But anyway. Back to Doherty.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum ended her post by sharing a heartfelt message for Middleton directly.

“Princess Kate, I admire your strength through the endless onslaught you’ve been under while going through cancer,” Doherty wrote.

On that point, we all hopefully agree.

On March 22, Middleton shared a two-plus minute long video in which she revealed she’s been battling cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy following weeks of speculation about her health and her whereabouts.

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she said in the footage.

“My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery…

“At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”

Blake Lively has an apology for Kate Middleton.

The Princess of Wales vanished for months. After an infamous photoshop fail, numerous royal conspiracy theories and jokes circulated.

In the wake of Kate Middleton’s cancer news, some are rethinking their previous jokes.

Blake Lively, for one, would like to offer an apology.

After Kate Middleton’s phony family photo, everyone was cracking jokes

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Blake Lively announced updates for her alcohol brand, Betty Buzz and Betty Booze.

Her post included some deliberately obvious photoshop featuring the caption: “Now you know why I’ve been MIA.” Blake posted this on March 15, well over two months since Kate’s last official appearance.

The official Betty Buzz account added a comment: “Haters will say it’s photoshop.” It was a cute, topical promo.

The ad did not actually mention Kate Middleton by name

However, it was an obvious nod to Kate’s months of seclusion following a January abdominal surgery. And, of course, to the botched (British) Mother’s Day post that deepened suspicions.

(After all, if someone is alive and well, they can just pose for a family photo without fabricating one)

Rumors ranged from claims that Kate was in a coma to suggesting marital problems with Prince William following years of reports on his alleged affairs. A normal celebrity can simply go into seclusion; a princess is going to have a harder time doing so.

In light of the cancer news, Blake Lively offered an apology

On Friday, March 22, just shortly after Kate’s public revelation that she has cancer and has been undergoing treatments, Blake Lively took to her Instagram Story. Instagram automatically deletes Story posts, but Deadline and other outlets preserved the message.

“I’m sure no one cares today but I feel I have to acknowledge this,” Blake Lively began.

“I made a silly post around the ‘photoshop fails’ frenzy,” she acknowledged. “And, oh, man, that post has me mortified today. I’m sorry.”

SHOULD Blake Lively apologize to Kate Middleton?

Celebrity apologies are so ubiquitous that the “Notes app,” ostensibly for jotting down a reminder or a grocery list, has become synonymous with them.

Sometimes these apologies come too late, or are incomplete or otherwise flawed. Other times, they are gracious and appropriate.

Not everyone is convinced that Blake Lively owes Kate an apology over this, however.

Obviously, Blake was not making a joke about cancer, directly or indirectly. Not only did she not know that Kate has cancer, but the butt of the joke was a clumsy PR blunder on the part of the royal firm.

And, to be clear, this was a PR blunder. The royal firm decided to withhold Kate’s cancer diagnosis for months. The baffling PR strategy simply caused one of the world’s most famous women to disappear for months with a dubious explanation, and also included a blatantly phony photoshop image.

Blake Lively is welcome to apologize for anything that she likes. But making fun of one of the planet’s wealthiest families making an amateurish PR blunder isn’t really wrongdoing.

Blake Lively Apologizes to Kate Middleton After Cancer Reveal: Sorry About My … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

As you very likely know by now, King Charles and Kate Middleton have some very painful, personal and simply unfortunate in common:

Both members of the Royal Family have been diagnosed with cancer.

The monarch reportedly has pancreatic cancer and may only have two years to live… while the Princess of Wales revealed to the public her tragic piece of tragic news in a video released this past Friday.

It took the entire globe by total surprise.

Following a “successful” surgery on January 16 — which Kensington Palace alerted us to, yet provided very few details about about — Middleton explained on March 22:

“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 am now in the early stages of that treatment.

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

We do not know at the moment the type of cancer Middleton is battling.

Not long after learning of this terrible news, meanwhile, King Charles released his first statement.

“[I am] so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” it said.

The statement also said the king, who received treatment in the same hospital as Princess Kate, has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks,” adding that he and his wife “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”

Related, despite their estrangement from Middleton, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said over the weekend:

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”

The world is rallying around Middleton at the moment in the wake of a confusing couple months during which the Palace tried to hide her from the public and also pretended as if everything was fine.

We can’t say at the moment just when Middleton will return to her Royal life and her Royal duties.

She has three young kids and must focus on them and her recovery above everything else.

On March 23, one day after the Princess of Wales announced in a video message that she had been diagnosed with cancer, A Kensington Palace spokesperson sent this follow-up message:

The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’ message.

They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.

Kate Middleton has cancer.

The Princess of Wales ended all questions about her recent surgery and subsequent absence from public life on March 22 by releasing a two-plus minute that revealed this stunning diagnosis.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Middleton said in her first official appearance since undergoing abdominal surgery in January.

“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family.”

From there, Kate explained post-operative tests just over two months ago “found cancer had been present.”

She went on to say she’s in the “early stages” of a course of preventative chemotherapy and that she and husband Prince William took time to outline the situation to their kids: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

It’s all very sad.

And we hope it makes those behind those Kate Middleton conspiracy theories feel sort of awful about themselves.

Perhaps she mishandled aspects of this diagnosis… but can anyone blame her? She was likely taking orders from Kensington Palace, and, in the end?

The mother of three is sick.

Following Middleton’s admission, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry — neither of whom is really talking to Kate these days — released a simple statement of sympathy on Friday.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” it reads.

Prior to releasing this message, an insider had told People Magazine that Markle and Harry had no idea what was going on with their estranged family member.

“They are aware of everything that goes on back in England, but are being left out of any details regarding Kate,” this source said. “There is clearly no trust.”

In the aforementioned video, the 42-year-old said that, at the time of the procedure, her condition was thought to be non-cancerous, something the Palace even said in its initial statement on the topic.

However, further testing found that cancer had been present.

“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” she continued.

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

This unexpected reveal by Middleton comes not long after King Charles also announced he had cancer.

According to a recent report, Charles has prostate cancer and only had two years to live.

We cannot verify that information at this time.

But we wish Kate Middleton and King Charles nothing but the best.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry React to Kate Middleton Cancer Diagnosis was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

It isn’t every day that Andy Cohen disses someone as high-profile as Prince William. But William is not the most popular — or sympathetic — royal at the moment.

On Friday, March 22, Kate Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis after months of eerie silence and somewhat justified conspiracy theories regarding her disappearance.

The public didn’t buy the official story about her recovery from surgery. That suspicion was spot-on. Similarly, a lot of the public aren’t buying the idea that Prince William has been entirely faithful.

Andy Cohen doesn’t sound like he’s bought those claims, either. He’s put the Prince of Wales on blast, with a blistering comparison to King Charles.

Andy Cohen has some thoughts about Prince William

During the Friday, March 22 episode of his Daddy Diaries podcast, Andy Cohen addressed the longstanding infidelity rumors about Prince William.

The salacious claims earned William nicknames like the “Prince of Pegging” and simply “Peggy,” referring to an alleged sex act that he preferred with Marchioness Rose Hanbury.

Years after the story broke, Hanbury has denied the alleged affair. Critics of the secretive and bizarrely influential royal firm have debated how meaningful any official statements on this story could possibly be.

Andy Cohen specifically delved into speculation that Kate’s absence from public life could have some connection to William’s alleged infidelity.

“It all seems to come back to this lady Rose who he’s had an affair — who he allegedly had an affair with,” Cohen said, rephrasing to more legally safe phrasing as he spoke. Smart!

Andy then pointed to the timeline of William and Kate’s romance before they ultimately married.

Prince William wasn’t always in a rush to marry Kate Middleton

“Don’t forget he broke it off with [Middleton] after they dated for years and sowed his wild oats for a time and then went back to her,” Andy recalled.

There is truth to that: Prince William and Princess Kate did break up in both 2004 and in 2007, reconciling both times.

Some fan theories suggest that William resolved to marry Kate and “lock it down,” as it were, once he realized that his hairline was receding. That is, perhaps, a mean-spirited theory.

Andy Cohen doubled down on shadiness with a reference to King Charles famously cheating on William’s mother, Princess Diana. The other woman in that relationship is now his wife, Queen Camilla.

The Bravo exec called William “his father’s [son].” That line can, on rare occasions, be a compliment. Certainly not in this instance.

Andy is not the first to imply that William has followed his father’s footsteps with the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. Even if most of us try to avoid pronouncing that particular name (it’s pronounced “Chumlee,” which is infuriating) at all costs.

Andy Cohen’s diss of Prince William came out before Kate Middleton shared her news

In a video that took many in the public by surprise, the Princess of Wales revealed on Friday, March 22, that she had cancer.

According to her claims in the video, the abdominal surgery in January and subsequent tests had detected the presence of cancer.

So she, like her father-in-law, King Charles, has cancer and has been undergoing treatments for it.

Of course, Kate’s revelation comes after months of speculation, concern, and bungled PR opportunities.

It’s clear that, initially, the royal firm intended to withhold this information from the public. The family did so for months, hoping that a blatantly phony family portrait would silence questions. It didn’t.

With that in mind, people are less willing to believe anything coming out of that family. It wasn’t so long ago that (allegedly) Kate herself was claiming to have caused the photoshop fail. The royal firm will say what it wants to the public, and nothing else.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sent a supportive message to Kate Middleton just hours after it was revealed that she has cancer.

Though the relationship between Harry and Meghan has been strained in the past years, they still took time out to make sure the family – and the world – knew they wanted nothing but “healing” for Prince William’s wife.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Message To Kate After Cancer Reveal

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement Friday.

It remains unclear when is the last time the pair have seen Kate. Reports have suggested that both have reached out privately to Kate during her health struggles.

But while Meghan has reportedly reached out with an olive branch to Kate, Harry apparently did not see her, nor his brother William when he traveled to the UK to see their father after his cancer announcement.

So, this might be a step in the right direction, but it may not be a sign of complete healing between the families.

Let’s hope that’s still down the line.

Kate Middleton’s Full Statement on Her Cancer Diagnosis

On March 22nd, Kate Middleton finally put to rest the rumors and speculation about her condition. She revealed that over the last several weeks, she had been battling cancer, though did not disclose what kind.

Here’s what she shared with the world:

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” she began in a video message posted to her social media channels and distributed to news outlets.

She continued:

“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”

She then went on to give more details about her surgery in January, and then make a heartbreaking reveal.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. 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 am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

She then segued to talk about how this has impacted her family, including her three children.

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.”

Finally, she let the world know how she is doing now:

As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits. 

Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both. We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. 

My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery. 

At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. 

You are not alone.

After announcing to the world that she is battling cancer, Kate Middleton has hopefully put all the conspiracy theories to rest.

Yet, there are still many unanswered questions.

What kind of cancer does she have? Does she require more treatment? And when will she return to royal, public life?

To that last question, we have some information.

When Will Kate Middleton Return to Royal Duty amid Cancer Treatment?

Though the royal family has made no official announcement regarding Kate Middleton’s return to public life, Kate did allude that she’s eager to get back to work in her cancer reveal statement.

“My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy,” she said, before adding:

“I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.”

The weekend before her announcement, there was a glimmer of hope that the Princess of Wales might soon step back into the spotlight.

Kate was spotted shopping near Adelaide Cottage, her home in Windsor.

There’s only one brief video of the excursion, but the news that Kate was out and about and seemingly in good spirits was enough to reverse the tide of pessimism that’s been rising for several weeks now.

Kate Middleton: When Will She Return to Public Life?

Given the new developments, a new report from Us Weekly indicates that there’s no official timeline for Kate’s recuperation, and all questions relating to her health crisis will be ignored until the Princess of Wales has made a full recovery.

“When she goes back to work after Easter, she will likely be ready to talk about it,” a source tells the outlet, noting that Kate may open up “when she’s doing a royal walkabout and meeting and greeting members of the public.”

The report indicates that Kate’s return to public life has been “delayed,” but it seems that no new date has been set.

This is somewhat distressing news, as it may indicate that Kate’s recovery is taking longer than expected.

Reports of the postponed return were echoed today by Radar Online, where it was reported that Kate’s condition has made it difficult for her to eat.

Kate Middleton’s Health: The Latest on Her Abdominal Issues

“Kate is struggling to eat,” an insider described as “a well-placed royal source” told Radar.

“She continues to recover after the surgery, but the recuperation has been more difficult than expected,” the source continued, adding:

“Kate was already painfully thin, so this is a cause for major concern behind palace walls,”

There are those who still believe that Kate’s withdrawal from public life had nothing to do with her health issues and was instead the result of Prince William’s alleged affair with Rose Hanbury.

However, that seems highly unlikely.

There’s no evidence that such an affair ever took place, and even if it had, Kate’s commitment to her royal duties is such that she’d likely honor her late mother-in-law by continuing to maintain appearances as she plotted her next move.

The news that Kate’s return has been postponed is unfortunate, but reports that she was seen out and about over the weekend seem to bode well for her recovery.

We wish her all the best as she continues to recuperate.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

When Will Kate Middleton Return to Royal Duty After Cancer Reveal? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Kate Middleton is ready to put the record straight about her health, speaking to the world for the first time since her mysterious surgery.

In a video released by Kensington Palace, Kate addressed the ongoing rumors and speculation about her health.

It’s finally time to put the conspiracy theories to bed, but also to send our very best to a young family struggling with very difficult news.

Kate Middleton Speaks On Her Cancer Diagnosis: “It Has Been An Incredibly Tough Couple of Months”

For the first time in weeks, the Palace has released an official update on the Princess’ condition, and who better to share the news but Kate herself. 

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales)

Sitting comfortably in her garden, she thanked the world for their well wishes and support through an incredibly difficult time.

Then she revealed just how difficult it has actually been, following her surgery at the start of this year.

“The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” Kate said in a video message on Instagram.

“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” the Princess added.

The princess did not reveal what type of cancer she is battling, which seems to be par of the course with the royal family. Buckingham Palace nor King Charles have yet to confirm what kind of cancer he is battling, the the latest suggests pancreatic cancer.

Kate Talks About Her Children & How They Are Coping With The Cancer News

“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful,” she said in the video, which was reportedly recorded in Windsor on Wednesday.

She then spoke about her “young family,” namely her 3 young children – George, Charlotte, and Louis – and how this news has been handled for their benefit.

She revealed that everything about her condition has been “explained in a way that is appropriate for them” as well as assured them that “everything is going to be ok.”

Kate’s Medical Journey So Far

Kate entered the hospital in January 2024 for “scheduled abdominal surgery.” She spent 13 days at The London Clinic before returning home, where she has been recuperating.

No additional, official information was shared with the public after that.

When reports of the Princess being in a coma surfaced and conspiracy theories about her absence ran rampant, the Palace tried to quell fears by releasing a photo of Kate with her kids on UK’s Mother’s Day.

Unfortunately, this only exacerbated the drama, as it became clear in less that a few hours that the photo had been doctored. 

Kate released a statement, saying she had edited the photo herself. However, the damage had been done. 

Fuel was added to the fire and royal fans worried that Kate was hiding for sinister reasons. 

Prince William Affair Rumors 

Alternatively, one of those reasons was believed to be that Kate was not retreating from her royal duties due to health issues, but personal ones. 

Many are convinced that Kate stepped away from the public because of the allegations of an affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury. 

These allegations have since been denied – repeatedly – by Lady Rose and Prince William. Kate did not address these rumors in her message to the public.

She also did not address the wild speculation that she was using an impersonator to pretend to be her on recent outings with Prince William.

Kate Middleton Reveals She Has Cancer In First Statement Since Surgery: Watch was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

We’re one week removed from PhotoshopGate.

As pretty much every human being walking the face of the planet knows at this point, Kate Middleton underwent abdominal surgery on January 16. 

At the time, Kensington Palace released a vague statement that said the procedure was “not cancerous” in nature, but which also said Middleton would be sidelines from her Royal duties until after Easter.

Then, she disappeared. And then, one week ago, she released a photo that she confessed had been edited.

With Middleton and company refusing to release the original version of this photo, and with the Princess of Wales still seemingly hiding out somewhere in England, conspiracy theories abound.

No one has a clue what’s going on.

Is Kate Middleton actually on a road to recovery? Was this surgery very serious in nature?

Is Kate Middleton dead? Is she considering a divorce because Prince William has been cheating on her with Rose Hanury?

So many questions. Truly, no answers.

But perhaps we’ll have some soon?

This weekend, The Times of London has has published an article that claims Kate and Middleton are extremely unhappy with this entire situation.

The outlet references “close friends” and reports that the world famous spouses are “shaken and devastated” by the questions raised over the state of their marriage – there was also no wedding ring on Kate’s finger in the controversial photo – and moreover… that Middleton may speak out about her health at public engagements next month.

It seems like she would almost have no choice but to do so, considering the fervor this apparent medical crisis has caused around the globe.

“They are at their most open when out interacting with members of the public and I can see a world in which the princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements,” an insider told The Times over the weekend.

“If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it.

“They will want to be clear and more open, but they’ll do it when they feel ready. I would expect that to be her instinct and it will be her call.

“They’re not going to be rushed.”

Maybe not.

But it’s worth looking at the calendar for a moment.

Easter arrives early this year, which means observers will expect to see Middleton back in action as soon as we hit April…. based on what the Palace previously said about her recovery process.

On April 23, meanwhile, son Louis turns six years old and the family has released a family portrait in honor of this occasion every year of his life to date.

Can you imagine how closely this next one will be analyzed if, indeed, Kate and William choose to do so again?

Finally, in maybe the most glaring sign of how concerned everyone out there is about Kate Middleton, author Tom Quinn recently told the Mirror that even Meghan Markle has tried to reach out.

Yes, even Kate’s most heated rival wants to make sure everything is okay.

“She is genuinely worried about Kate’s health,” Quinn says.

Aren’t we all at this point?
