Kensington Palace Clarifies Kate Middleton’s Return To Work Timeline

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous,” the princess said at the time. 

While the surgery was “successful,” Kate said that “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 said. 

The royal began chemotherapy in February. 

The palace has yet to issue any updates about Kate’s condition since her announcement, when a palace spokesperson said that “The Princess has a right to medical privacy, as we all do.” 

Prince William gave an update on his wife’s health in April, during a walkabout after an engagement.
