Earlier this week, Kate Middleton courageously shared her cancer diagnosis with the public through a self-penned video message.
Choosing to speak directly to her supporters, the Princess of Wales crafted every word of her announcement, aiming to maintain a genuine connection and authenticity.
In an interview with The Times, a close friend of Kate's disclosed, "She took the lead in writing the message entirely herself, and it came together quite swiftly."
The friend emphasized, "She wanted to address her audience directly, the people who have steadfastly supported her and her family, rather than letting rumors overshadow the truth."
Contrary to a written statement, Kate opted for a video message to present a more personal and reassuring tone. The friend elaborated, "She believed a written statement might feel distant. For her, it was crucial for people to see her and to convey her optimism and resilience."
Acknowledging the potentially shocking nature of her news, Kate was determined to share it with compassion and gratitude. The friend added, "In challenging times, Kate and her family always prioritize their gratitude towards the public's unwavering support."
