Kate Middleton reveals that she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatments. The palace is not expected to give further details about the type of disease and its progress.

Meanwhile, Prince William faces a double challenge: taking care of his wife and family - and fulfilling his public duties. As heir to the throne, William's public presence is needed to signal that the palace is strong.. CNN called it "the biggest crisis in the history of the royal house". As you may remember, King Charles was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of February.
