Sending reporters to Windsor,
Kensington Palace, etc. This is so disrespectful to Kate and typical of the BBC." A third echoed the sentiment, posting on X: "Doing 13 minutes on Kate's Cancer on @bbcbreakfast is not "extending privacy" to the Princess of Wales' family. @newswatchbbc." The mother-of-three publicly announced her cancer diagnosis in televised video message before Friday evening's Six O'Clock News. In her video message, the Princess of Wales explained: "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." She continued: "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. "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 okay."
