Here is Why the Princess Waited Until Now to Reveal Her Diagnosis

Given the fact that King Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis to the world shortly after it was detected, many have wondered why the princess waited several weeks.

Well, as she mentioned in her video message, it has “taken time” to come forward to explain the condition to her and William’s three children. Royal expert Victoria Murphy added to that, telling ABC News the Palace stated the reason Kate chose to tell the world now is “not some kind of reaction to these conspiracy theories that have been swirling.”

The reason is because Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have now “broken up” for the Easter holidays. Prince William and Kate thought speaking out now was the best option as their children will be off for a few weeks and not at school having to listen to what others are saying or being asked about their mother’s diagnosis.

Murphy said this way, William and Kate can “keep [their kids] in a bubble with them and really protect them from the outside world while this news, while this reaction, hits the rest of the world and while people are talking about it.” When concluding her video message, the Princess of Wales asked for privacy that she hopes the public will now respect, saying: “We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment.

My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
