Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has been sending messages of support to Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, as she begins her cancer treatment. Ferguson, who was diagnosed with skin cancer this year after facing breast cancer last summer, believes that Kate’s recent video message revealing her cancer diagnosis will do a tremendous amount of good in raising awareness about the disease. The Duchess of York, who has gone through her own share of health struggles, praised Kate’s bravery in sharing her diagnosis publicly and expressed her hope that the Princess of Wales will be surrounded by the love of her family as she gos on her treatment.
Ferguson posted on social media, saying that she knows Kate will be surrounded by her family, and that everyone is praying for the best outcome. She also hopes that Kate will now be given the time, space, and privacy to heal. Kate’s video message announcing her diagnosis has been hailed as a brave and emotional move, dispelling online rumors and conspiracy theories about her health. In the video, Kate described the news as a huge shock and told how her family had faced an incredibly tough couple of months. She also spoke about her desire to shield her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, from the coverage of her health.
The video message was released on Friday evening, just as Kate’s children began their Easter school holidays, and was designed to take advantage of the break to protect them from the media frenzy surrounding their mother’s health. Macmillan Cancer Support has reported a significant surge in visits to its online information and support pages, with traffic increasing by 10 per cent over the past weekend, the highest seen since the first Covid-19 lockdown. The organization believes that Kate’s message will encourage others to seek support and raise awareness about the importance of open communication between parents and children about cancer diagnosis.
Ferguson’s comments demonstrate her admiration for Kate’s bravery in sharing her diagnosis publicly and her understanding of the challenges involved in talking to children about a parent’s cancer diagnosis. She joins many others in expressing support for the Princess of Wales as she begins her treatment and navigates this difficult period. By sharing her own experiences with cancer and offering words of encouragement, Ferguson has shown that she is a true friend to Kate during this challenging time.
