Catherine says in recorded statement her condition was discovered after she
had abdominal surgery in January
The Princess of Wales has disclosed that she has been diagnosed with cancer
and is in the early stages of receiving chemotherapy treatment.
In a statement recorded at Windsor by the BBC, Catherine said her condition
had been discovered after she had major abdominal surgery in January.
After weeks of speculation about her health, Catherine said she and her
husband, Prince William, had needed time to explain the situation to their
three children, George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five.
“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,” she said. “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.”
The Princess of Wales, 42, had been admitted to the London Clinic on 16
January for major abdominal surgery. At the time, the palace refused to
confirm what Catherine was being treated for, but said the condition was
non-cancerous.
Catherine said it was only after the surgery that the cancer had been found.
The king is also currently being treated for cancer.
In her statement – recorded on Wednesday and made public on Friday, and
which began with words of thanks for those who had sent messages of support
– Catherine said she felt well and was “getting stronger every day”. She
said: “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.
“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.
”
Catherine said she had been able to reassure her children that she would
recover from her diagnosis. “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,” she said. “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.”
The couple have endured weeks of rumours about Catherine’s condition. The
speculation was only fuelled when the first official photograph of the
Princess of Wales to be released after her abdominal surgery two months ago
was recalled by some of the world’s biggest picture agencies over claims it
had been manipulated.
She soon after issued a public apology for the “confusion” and said she had
been responsible for digitally editing the Mother’s Day family photograph.
Catherine asked in the statement issued on Friday for time and space for her
to complete her treatment and said she looked forward to returning to royal
duties.
She said: “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.”
The palace did not provide any further information about the type of cancer.
In January, it was disclosed that the king had been diagnosed with cancer at
the age of 75 after he had treatment at the London Clinic for a benign
enlarged prostate. Buckingham Palace has said the king does not have prostate
cancer but aides have offered no further information.

威爾斯王妃透露她被診斷出患有癌症，並正在接受早期的化療治療。
凱瑟琳在BBC在溫莎錄製的一份聲明中說，她的狀況是在一月接受重大腹部手術後發現的
在對她的健康狀況進行了幾周的檢驗後，凱瑟琳說，她和丈夫威廉王子需要時間向他們的
三個孩子喬治（10歲）、夏綠蒂（八歲）和路易（五歲）解釋情況。
「這當然讓人非常震驚，威廉和我一直在盡一切可能私下處理和管理這個問題，為了我們
年幼的家庭，」她說。「正如你們可以想像的，這需要時間。我需要時間從重大手術中恢
復過來，以開始我的治療。但更重要的是，我們需要時間以適合他們的方式向喬治、夏綠
蒂和路易解釋一切，並向他們保證我會好起來。」
42歲的威爾斯王妃在1月16日被送往倫敦診所接受重大腹部手術。當時，宮殿拒絕確認凱
瑟琳接受治療的原因，但表示情況是非癌性的。
凱瑟琳說，只有在手術後才發現了癌症。
另外，查爾斯國王目前也正在接受癌症治療。
此聲明於星期三錄製並於星期五公開，她在聲明的開頭先感謝那些寄出支持信息的人開始 -
凱瑟琳說，她目前感覺還好，每日漸入佳境。
她說：「對於我們整個家庭來說，這幾個月非常艱難，但我有一個出色的醫療團隊，
他們非常照顧我，對此我感到非常感激。」
關於日前發布修飾過的照片所造成的風波，
凱瑟琳也請求給予她時間和空間來完成治療，並表示她期待重執王室職責。
她說：「我們希望大家能理解，作為一個家庭，在我完成治療期間，我們現在需要一些
時間、空間和隱私。我的工作總是帶給我深深的快樂，我期待在有能力的時候回來，但
現在我必須專注於完全康復。」
「此時，我也在想著所有那些生活受到癌症影響的人們。對於每個面對這種疾病的人，無
論以何種形式，請不要失去信心或希望。你並不孤單。」
白金漢宮目前沒有提供有關癌症類型的任何進一步資訊。
今年1月，有消息指出國王75歲時在倫敦診所接受良性前列腺肥大治療後被診斷出罹患癌
症。白金漢宮表示國王沒有罹患攝護腺癌，但助手們沒有提供進一步的資訊。
