Kate Middleton health update given by Fergie who has her say on emotional family video
Sarah, Duchess of York, who was diagnosed with breast and skin cancer, appeared on This Morning where she was asked about the Princess of Wales, who also received her own cancer diagnosis earlier this year
Fergie has given an update on the Princess of Wales as she continues her cancer recovery – and has given her verdict on Kate’s emotional video.
Kate announced she had finished her chemotherapy course in a heartfelt video in September, in which she spoke about her cancer journey as footage played of the Waleses and their children enjoying time together outdoors.
And appearing on ITV’s This Morning, Sarah, Duchess of York praised the princess for “showing the world what it is to really look after yourself”. She also told how she was “so moved” by Kate’s video announcing the end of her cancer treatment, describing footage as “just incredible” and adding: “I think that’s extraordinary, what’s she doing.”
The Duchess, who was herself diagnosed with skin cancer in January after being treated for breast cancer last year, told presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: “The video that the princess did was just incredible. I was so moved. It was beautiful.” Asked by Shephard how Kate was doing, Sarah replied: “She’s just showing the world what it is to really look after yourself and self-love in order to help others. I think that’s extraordinary, what she’s doing.”
Sarah also described how the King, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer this year, had empathy with other cancer patients. “I love when the King went to the Cancer Research UK (in April) and actually sat on the sofa,” she said. “And of course, it’s coming from a place of empathy, because he does understand, and… yesterday, the first time when I was sitting there with someone, it’s not just ‘I understand’ – patronising. It’s ‘I know’.”
