Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, recently took to Instagram to show her support for Kate Middleton after the Duchess of Cambridge revealed her cancer diagnosis. Fergie, who fought her own battle with breast cancer last year, praised Middleton for her bravery in speaking out about her diagnosis and expressed her hope that Middleton will have the privacy she needs to heal.
In her post, Ferguson shared the good news that her own skin cancer has not spread, and she offered words of encouragement to Middleton as she undergoes chemotherapy following surgery in January. Middleton and her husband, Prince William, decided to wait until their children were on Easter break before making the diagnosis public, wanting to shield them from any unnecessary worry.
Middleton has been vocal about the support she has received from her husband, with William being a constant source of comfort and reassurance during this difficult time. Sadly, the royal family is no stranger to cancer, as Prince Charles, William’s father, is also currently battling the disease. Before going public with her diagnosis, Middleton and Charles shared a private lunch where they likely discussed their shared experiences and the challenges ahead.
Despite their health struggles, Middleton and William have traveled to the Sandringham estate with their children for the Easter holiday, trying to maintain a sense of normalcy and spending quality time together as a family. Middleton’s openness about her diagnosis and the support she has received from both her family and the public serve as a reminder of the strength and resilience of the royal family in the face of adversity.
