In this episode of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we discuss Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, who announced she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. There is a lot we still do not know – and the palace is not revealing what type of cancer it is or what stage it’s at.
Until Friday, the princess has not been seen in public since Christmas, when she attended church with her family. Three weeks later, the palace announced Kate had a planned abdominal surgery. At the time, officials gave few details about her health. All they would say was that the surgery was successful and the princess would be stepping away from public duties until Easter.
Despite that announcement, there were conspiracy theories about Kate’s whereabouts running rampant online – especially when the couple posted a digitally-manipulated photo earlier in the month. The princess later apologized for editing it. Now, many are just hoping for her quick recovery.
We have an ABC News report from London.
