Kate Middleton sends secret message to public with striped sweater from cancer diagnosis video

During her video, Kate wore a nautical striped sweater, which she has worn several times before.

It’s been said the princess went with the £650 ($821) sweater not only because it was reminiscent of happier times, but it also served to remind the public that Kate was not only royalty but a “school-run mum, a wife and a homemaker.”

Dressed in jeans and a comfortable sweater, Kate delivered the heartbreaking news that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

Her emotional announcement came weeks after conspiracy theories and rumors about her whereabouts swept the internet.

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

Kate added that she and Prince William “have been doing everything” they can “to process and manage” the news privately.

“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.”

She then went on to assure the public that she was not only “well,” but “getting stronger every day.”

Kate ended her somber video message asking for continued privacy as she continued her course of treatment.

“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.”
