Princess Kate announces she is being treated for cancer

The Princess of Wales melted hearts over the weekend after she surprised a royal fan who had wished her well with a thank you card.

Princess Kate has currently withdrawn from royal duties as she undergoes preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed type of cancer.

The future queen announced the shocking news of her diagnosis last month and revealed the cancer was found by post-operative tests following the major abdominal surgery she had in January, which at the time, was thought to be non-cancerous.

Now a royal fan has taken to social media to share her sweet story of receiving a Thank You card from Kensington Palace, the office responsible for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

User @AllexmarieHoll1 wrote on X that she had sent Kate a get-well letter after it was announced that she was admitted to hospital on January 16.

The fan said: “Back in January when we were informed our beautiful Princess of Wales had undergone surgery I sent her a card with our (my family and I) sincerest best wishes for healing and of course an abundance of love.”

She added that last Saturday, April 6, she received the letter from Kensington Palace, and joked her husband thought it might have been an invitation to a royal garden party.

The user added: “Today I received this beautiful acknowledgement and I can honestly say I shall treasure this my entire life.

“The envelope has Kensington Palace on the back lol hubby thought he was going to have to get his suit out for a garden party (silly him) but he is just as blown away as I am to receive this beautiful, and much treasured card. Continued prayers and healing to our beautiful Princess of Wales.”

The card read: “Thank you for your kind well wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. Your thoughtful gesture is very much appreciated.”

Kate is likely to have sent similar cards to other well wishers.

Royal fans went into a frenzy over the post and praised the future queen for the Palace’s response.

One user wrote: “Wow this is such a beautiful response… You have a beautiful heart to have sent her a card which I’m sure meant so much… How can one find her address… I’d like to send one too…”

Another one agreed: “How very special dear friend. Your kindness was appreciated [heart emojis]
