In 2024, numerous Facebook pages posted a rumor about the British royal family, claiming William, Prince of Wales, had made a sad announcement about his wife, Katherine, Princess of Wales. The posts all read similarly. One example came from a page named “Prey America,” stating, “Prince William makes the sad announcement that leaves fans in tears, ‘My wife, it’s been…’” This rumor emerged after a March 22nd video announcement in which Catherine disclosed she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.
According to a close source, inside the ongoing battle with cancer, Princess Katherine’s struggle has deeply affected her life and her family. It’s known that she is undergoing chemotherapy and will be stepping back from her royal duties for an unspecified period. Initial reports suggested that the public would not be able to see the Princess of Wales until at least June.
Aside from the Facebook posts, it’s true William did once utter the four-word “My wife, it’s been…” as part of a longer statement. The context of these words can be found in an article published by the British tabloid “The Sun.” As for the rumor about William, his words were part of an outdated quote about how William had been unable to watch many of the films nominated for awards due to Catherine’s health.
Many have speculated as to the actual nature of her disease due to the absence of specific information. A lengthy Reddit post claims that the story contains multiple contradictions. Also, it’s questionable that there aren’t any new images of her.

The paparazzi have invaded Catherine’s privacy time and time again, yet surprisingly no images of her as she was being transported from the London Clinic to Sangri which have surfaced worryingly online users wondered if she really had undergone surgery for an abdominal problem or if it was true that she was progressing favorably.
