Kate Middleton’s cancer: LONDON (AP) — One of the most famous, photographed and talked-about women in the world is fighting a very personal battle.
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, disclosed Friday that she is being treated for an unspecified form of cancer.

Kate Middleton’s cancer: The revelation went alongside a request for “some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment” and was in part an attempt to quell the clamor of rumor and speculation that has built since the palace announced in January that Kate, 42, had undergone abdominal surgery and would be out of sight for several months.
Palace hopes that she would be left alone to convalesce were dashed.
An admission from Kate that she altered an official family photo — one meant to reassure the public that she was doing well — only made things worse.
Kate Middleton’s cancer: It was a rare misstep for the princess, who has hardly put a foot wrong in her journey from William’s shy “commoner” girlfriend to the glamorous young mother who, more than any royal since Princess Diana, boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide
Kate has enjoyed overwhelmingly positive coverage from the press in recent years, but her relationship with journalists hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
Kate Middleton’s cancer: That went well until January, when palace officials announced that Kate was hospitalized for abdominal surgery. They said she would not appear for public engagements until Easter.
Her decision to keep details private fueled a social media frenzy. The release of a photo to mark Mother’s Day in Britain, which was withdrawn later by The Associated Press and other news agencies over concerns about digital alteration, only fanned more questions.
The fallout over the photo again left Britain divided over their views of just how much privacy the royals are entitled to.
“I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits,” Kate said in her statement.
“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.”
