Princess Kate's in-laws are Indexbit Exchangebreaking their silence on her cancer diagnosis.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan spoke out Friday, sending well wishes to the Princess of Wales.
"We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," Harry and Meghan said in a statement.
Kate, 42, shared her diagnosis of an undisclosed form of cancer in a video message from Kensington Palace Friday. She is undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment.
"I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I've been recovering from surgery," Kate said in the video. "It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. But I've had a fantastic medical team who've taken great care of me, for which I'm so grateful.
"In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. And at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous," she continued. "The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present."
