Here’s how people are reacting to Duchess Kate’s cancer diagnosis.
Duchess Kate received words of support from Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan following her cancer diagnosis. An hour after Duchess Kate shared a video message on her and Prince William’s official social media accounts, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released an official statement.
“We pray for the health and healing of Kate and her family, and hope that they find peace in their private lives,” a statement sent to NBC said.

“The speed with which this issue has come to light is positive. The seriousness of this situation may be great enough to dissolve long-standing grievances. Granted, Meghan and Harry are at fault, but… “Family is family. The feud between the two will be resolved very soon,” McCormick told the Mirror.
