A source close to the British royal family told the Daily Mail that Princess Kate (42 years old) was recently forced to reveal her cancer diagnosis because the news was in danger of being leaked. Kate personally would have preferred to wait a little longer.
“The palace wanted to get ahead of the story and decided to share the news with the world as quickly as possible.”
Princess Kate announced in a video clip on March 22 that she had cancer. An “informed source inside Kensington Palace” now says the timing was brought forward because someone knew about her health condition and threatened to make it public. “The palace wanted to get ahead of the story and decided to share the news with the world as quickly as possible,” says the source.
It is not clear whether the alleged leak comes from the London Clinic, the hospital where Kate underwent surgery last January. A few days before Kate announced the news, someone at the hospital tried to access Kate's confidential medical records. It is not known who is involved in this matter, but an investigation into the incident is currently underway.
Kate has retreated with her family to Anmer Hall in Norfolk so she can focus 100 percent on her recovery. She is currently undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
