US EditionPrince William Calmly Informs Children of Kate's Cancer Diagnosis
Prince William took primary care of their children while Catherine underwent preventative chemotherapy and recovery, sharing a calm, reassuring message with their three young children.
- Earlier this year, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, calmly told Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis about her illness and reassured them she would be okay.
- After secondary tests, doctors found cancer following a routine abdominal operation, and medical teams advised immediate preventative chemotherapy to maximise Catherine, Princess of Wales's recovery chance.
- Friends recall William saying he was left `a state of disbelief` and took charge at home, handling school drop-offs, cooking, and organising playdates for the three children.
- The recorded message, filmed secretly by the BBC, was broadcast on the 6pm national news and online, with family members supporting the children during Catherine’s treatment.
- A security probe shows a criminal investigation was launched at the hospital where Catherine was treated, over alleged attempts by three staff to access her private records, according to the biography.
