Prince William has issued an update on Kate Middleton’s health following her shock cancer diagnosis.

In March this year, the Princess of Wales revealed she has been undergoing cancer treatment, which came after much speculation online about her whereabouts.

Breaking her silence, she thanked the public for their support and said it had been ‘an incredibly tough couple of months’ for her entire family.

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,” Kate said.

“However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

The royal described it as a ‘huge shock’ as she added that she was ‘getting stronger every day’.

Kate concluded the statement with: “At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer.

"For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”

And earlier this week, the Prince of Wales gave a positive update about his wife’s health.

William was chatting with members of the public at James’ Place Newcastle on Tuesday (30 April) when well-wishers asked how they were.

In a video shared on social media, one of the women asked the Prince: “Do you mind if I ask how your wife and children are?”

“We're all doing well, thank you,” the dad-of-three responded. And the royal fan continued: “And obviously Catherine?”

“We’re all doing well,” he said.

Kerry Whitehouse, the St. Michael’s Church of England High School’s senior mental health lead, told PEOPLE the goodies included Lego sunflowers because ‘building things is therapeutic and sunflowers represent happiness positivity and strength’.

There were also sunflower seeds ‘to sow seeds of positivity’.

Kate also said in her statement in March regarding her diagnosis: “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.

“As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.”
