Prince William is reportedly “extremely proud” of the “courage and strength” his wife Kate has shown in recent months.

The Prince and Princess of Wales said they were “deeply moved” after Kate revealed she was undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.

In an emotional video released on Friday, Kate confirmed she had started preventive chemotherapy, which began in February.

Kensington Palace said Kate continues to be positive about her recovery and is in good spirits. The princess said she had reassured her children that she was “fine and getting stronger every day”.

Prince William is said to be proud of Kate’s courage in telling the world such devastating news.

A royal source told The Telegraph: “William is extremely proud of his wife for the courage and strength she has shown not just this week but since her surgery in January. He has been doing everything he can to protect his family. , now more than ever he is focused on ensuring that his wife has the privacy she needs to fully recover and that his children do not take an understandable interest in the news being shared.”

In Kate’s video message, viewed by millions around the world, the princess described her cancer diagnosis as a “huge shock” and confirmed she and William, 41, had revealed the news to their children in person, but told them: “I’ll be fine.”

A royal friend revealed that Kate “quickly” wrote the speech herself. Kate also found the video message more reassuring than a written statement.
