Stephen Colbert and other talk show hosts in the US for their recent coverage of Kate Middleton. On Friday, the Princess of Wales released a video announcing that she has been diagnosed with cancer, and is privately been undergoing chemotherapy. This comes after intense speculation surrounding the 42-year-old’s whereabouts dominated headlines around the world – which ramped up last week after
Kensington Palace released a doctored image of the princess with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. During a segment on the
Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week, the host discussed rumors of Kate’s marriage to
Prince William, while fellow comedian John Oliver weighed in with shocking jokes on Watch What Happens Live. Whoopi Goldberg leapt to the Royal’s defense on the View, branding the debate over the edited Mother’s Day picture ‘irritating’. Following the news of Kate’s cancer, Piers rushed to
Twitter to condemn those who made jokes or comments at her expense. Kate Middleton shared the news of her illness in a new video (Picture: Kensington Palace) He slated: ‘The way certain

In footage released earlier today, Kate explained that she had abdominal surgery at the
London Clinic on January 16, for what was then believed to be a non-cancerous condition – however, biopsy results showed that
cancer was present. She has since been undergoing preventative chemotherapy and has been recovering from both the surgery and the treatment in the past three months.
