After months of rampant speculation, Kate Middleton has broken her silence as she announced on Friday that she’s undergoing chemotherapy.

The Princess of Wales released a video on social media, revealing her cancer diagnosis.

Middleton had underwent “major abdominal surgery” in January, she said.

“At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” Middleton said. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.

“My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment,” she added. “This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

She and William have been reassuring their three kids that she’s going to be OK.

“As I’ve said to them, I am well,” Middleton said. “And getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal, in my mind, body and spirits.”
