Kate addressed the public in a video shared to Instagram, the Princess opened the message giving thanks for the messages of support she has received.
The 42-year-old said: “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. 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.”
Before her announcement, the hashtag #KateGate was trending on social media as people began to ask what was really going on with the Princess.
Although the Palace had been clear that Kate would not be returning to her Royal duties until after Easter, the media fuelled wild conspiracy theories about her whereabouts.
Many outlets reported that Prince William had been having an affair with Kate’s best friend Lady Rose Hanbury, or even stranger again that Kate had undergone BBL surgery to enhance her buttocks.
A host of A-listers fed into this media frenzy and also poked fun at the seemingly innocent situations at the time.
However, after Kate opened up about her diagnosis many celebrities have come forward with their tail between their legs to apologise.
Here is the list of all those who have extended their deepest apologies and well-wishes to the Royal:
Stephen Colbert
The host made jokes about William’s alleged infidelity on the March 12th episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
“Now there have been rumors of an affair between William and [Rose] since 2019, according to tabloids, back then, when Kate supposedly confronted him about it, he ‘laughed it off, saying there was nothing to it.’ Aha, always a good response when your wife accuses you of cheating.”
On March 25th’s episode, following her diagnosis, the host said: “There’s a standard that I try to hold myself to, and that is I do not make light of somebody else’s tragedy, far too many of us know that any cancer diagnosis of any kind is harrowing for the patient and for their family.”
He added, “Though I’m sure they don’t need it from me, I and everyone here at The Late Show, would like to extend our well-wishes and heartfelt hope that her recovery is swift and thorough.”

The actress joked about Kate Middleton‘s “Photoshop fails” referring to the photoshopped picture of Kate Middleton and her children on Mother’s Day.
Blake took to her Instagram and said: “I’m sure no one cares today but I feel like I have to acknowledge this, I made a silly post around the ‘photoshop fails’ frenzy, and oh man, that post has me mortified today. I’m sorry. Sending love and well wishes to all, always. ❤️”
The View
Cohost Sunny Hostin suggested that Kate was using a “body double,” with cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin comparing the Princess’ public sightings to a “Bigfoot sighting.”
However, A-lister Whoopi Goldberg insisted that the women shouldn’t be “buying into” the conspiracy theories.
On the March 25th episode, Farah said: “I felt awful. Whoopi was right, I’m guilty of having gotten into the fun of where’s Kate and thinking it’s funny and sharing the memes and playing into that.”
Cohost Ana Navarro said, “For me, it was a learning moment, a teachable moment. The lesson I learned was: when Whoopi Goldberg tells me to mind my own damn business, I will mind my own damn business from now on.”
Meghan King
The former Real Housewives of Orange County hired a psychic to try and find out what was going on with Kate.
One of the most scandalous claims the fortune teller made was that Kate was having an “emotional affair probably” with an unidentified man.
Following her announcement, Kate said: “I saw all the news about Kate Middleton, and it’s so horrible. I mean, I’m the same age as her so it really hits home and just sending prayers and good vibes her way.”
“I feel really bad that I participated in the speculation about extramarital stuff, which, I mean, it still could be the case but it’s not at the forefront here.”
