Weeks after attending the same service in 2023, the palace announced that Middleton would undergo abdominal surgery and be out of commission for at least a few weeks.
Rumors and wild conspiracy theories began to percolate as the princess remained out of the public eye for the following months.
However, they were all put to rest when the royal family announced that she was coming treated for an unspecified cancer.
She also carried a black bag and wore black mittens. Samir Hussein/WireImage Middleton looked festive in a tartan scarf that matched her daughter’s coat. Samir Hussein/WireImage
In an emotional video, the mother-of-three told viewers: “In January I had major abdominal surgery in London and at the time my condition was thought to be non-cancerous. The operation was successful.
“Tests after the surgery showed cancer was present,” she continued. “My medical team therefore recommended that I undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”
The princess, who looked pale, admitted the diagnosis “came as a huge shock.”
