The Princess of Wales‘s video announcement detailing her cancer treatment was rushed out by Kensington Palace aides after her diagnosis had been leaked, sources have claimed.
Kate Middleton confirmed she had been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing ‘preventative chemotherapy’ for the disease in a video message released on March 22.
However, a well-placed source claimed the timing of the video had nothing to do with the speculation that would have come from her missing church on Easter morning, but instead because someone had knowledge of her health condition.
Kensington Palace had been contacted about Kate’s diagnosis, leaving no option but to hurry to get ahead of the story, the insider told the Daily Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle column.
It is unclear as to whether the leak came from within The London Clinic, where the Princess underwent abdominal surgery in January, or from elsewhere.
‘Whatever the reason, the universal acclaim heaped on Kate confirmed it was the right decision’, the column said.
