Kate confirmed that doctors diagnosed her with lymphoma after months of unexplained health problems. She said the news was extremely difficult to hear and equally challenging to share publicly. “The type of cancer I have is lymphoma,” she explained. “Hearing those words from my doctors was not easy, and saying them now is still very emotional. But I want to be open with everyone who has supported me.”
According to the princess, the diagnosis followed several months of unusual fatigue and repeated infections that concerned her medical team. After further medical testing and evaluation, doctors identified the illness at an early stage. Kate shared that while lymphoma is a serious condition, her doctors believe the outlook is encouraging because it was discovered early. However, she acknowledged that treatment and recovery will take time. She also thanked people across the world for their messages of support and kindness, saying their encouragement has meant a great deal to her and her family during a difficult period.
