The true extent of Kate Middleton’s struggle with cancer has never been fully disclosed.
In 2024, royal supporters were devastated when the Princess of Wales revealed she had been fighting cancer. For months, her absence from public life sparked widespread speculation, but she chose to keep the specifics of her condition tightly guarded.
Eventually, she felt compelled to share a personal video message on the royal family’s Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts, shedding light on the seriousness of her illness.
Despite the emotional revelation, the mother of three surprised many by appearing at the 2024 Trooping the Colour event, looking as elegant and composed as ever.
Still, few knew the true toll her health battle had taken. According to insiders, the princess had endured an incredibly difficult ordeal — described as having gone “to hell and back.”
Only last week, she unexpectedly canceled her appearance at Ascot, a major British horse racing event, reportedly triggering concern within the palace.
A well-placed source has indicated that Kate plans to significantly reduce her public engagements for the remainder of 2025, highlighting just how unwell she had been the year prior.
According to the Daily Mail, details about the true extent of her battle with the condition have now been revealed.
They reported that Kate had been fitted with a ‘semi-permanent port into her chest,’ that administered chemotherapy medication.
Royal editor Rebecca English said: “This small device was inserted under the skin and kept in place until her treatment (delivered via the port through a special needle and a thin tube in a vein close to the heart) was over, several weeks later.”
According to the expert, even for a royal, there is no guaranteed success of survival.
Revealing the true extent of what was going on, English said that Middleton ‘is fortunate to even be speaking of recovery.’
How long it will be before the princess is ready to return to her pre-cancer workload is largely unknown, given the unpredictability of cancer.
It was never revealed which cancer exactly she had been diagnosed with, despite speculation.
Fans were heartbroken to learn details of the severity of her illness, and the impact it’s had on her life behind closed doors.
One wrote: “Continued prayers for health. Get well, princess, the world needs you.”
As another said: “This is incredibly brave of you to share after these past few months.
“My thoughts are with you and your family Catherine. We love you.”
“Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and children, and the whole country is behind you,” a third added.
Another said: “Ma’am, as a member of the public and great supporter of The Royal Family: All the best wishes for a speedy recovery. I know you’ll be okay.”
Middleton’s next public appearance is set to be at Wimbledon, which starts on June 30.
The royal family-of-five also have a state visit planned to France in July.
