Friends have shared how ‘everything changed’ in an instant for the Prince and Princess of Wales 
Kate is now in remission after being diagnosed with cancer in 2024. The diagnosis came after she was admitted to the London Clinic for major abdominal surgery.
Friends of Catherine say that although she was caught completely in shock, she remained composed. Her first thoughts were of her children and her husband.
William, according to friends, “later told how he was in ‘a state of disbelief’. First his father had been diagnosed with cancer, and a month later his wife was now facing a similar challenge. Catherine called her parents and her siblings to tell them, then she and William resolved to gather the children and impart what they knew in the best and most positive way possible.”
The details come from a new book, William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, which has been written by The Daily Mirror’s Royal Editor Russell Myers
