Kate Middleton's family shares emotional tribute after cancer diagnosis
Kate Middleton's younger brother has shared an emotional tribute to his royal sister in the wake of the public announcement of her cancer diagnosis.
On Saturday, the Princess of Wales announced that following her "major abdominal surgery" in January, she had been diagnosed with cancer.
After weeks of speculation, the 42-year-old royal shared that she has privately been undergoing chemotherapy, and thanked the public for their concern about her health, as well as their support.
With the announcements of Kate's health sending shockwaves, James Middleton took to social media to share his support for his sister.
James shared a childhood photo of himself with Kate, writing how he and the rest of his family vowed to stick together during the difficult time.
“Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too,” he wrote in the caption.
Many flocked to the comments of James' post to send well wishes to Kate.
“Praying for a speedy recovery,” one wrote.
“Catherine is very lucky to have such a wonderful, supportive family. All of us in the royal watcher community are praying for your sister and the whole family,” another commented in support.
The announcement of Kate's cancer diagnosis comes after weeks of speculation, after the princess had not been seen in public since Christmas Day.
Despite the Palace sharing that she would not be returning to royal duties until "after Easter", the rumour mill continued with wild conspiracies about her whereabouts.
After a clearly edited family photo was released of the Princess of Wales and her three children to ease the worries of the public, the concern for Kate's wellbeing went into overdrive, no doubt finally prompting the emotional announcement of her cancer diagnosis.
