In her statement from a few weeks ago, Kate Middleton revealed that she had begun chemotherapy. One newspaper delved into what the Duchess is dealing with regarding her treatment.

For the past several months, the British media has been abuzz with the health issues of the British royal family members. The most serious seems to be Kate Middleton's situation, who—apart from the statement about the cancer—has not appeared in public for half a year.

Duchess Kate has cancer. She published a video: "I am currently in the early stages of treatment."

Although the royals are relatively silent, not revealing the details of Duchess Kate's treatment, tabloids are constantly writing about how her fight for health is progressing and how the 42-year-old feels.

A source from the "National Enquirer" is also quoted.

Kate and William are going through hell behind palace walls, a high-ranking royal courtier told the newspaper.

A person close to the royals also added that the princely couple "are going to 'great lengths' to hide the disease from their three children." However, this is reportedly not easy because the cancer is "devastating" Kate.
