Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, re-emerged on social media for the first time since his wife, Princess Kate Middleton, shared her cancer diagnosis. His message was directed towards British soccer player Rachel Daly, who recently announced her retirement from the sport.
In his post, William expressed gratitude to Daly for her remarkable performances with the Lionesses and extended his well wishes for her future endeavors with Aston Villa.
“Thank you for countless unforgettable moments with @Lionesses, @RachelDaly3. Here’s to many more goals with Villa! – W,” wrote the prince on X (formerly Twitter).
This note, signed “W,” was shared on both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s accounts, indicating that it was personally penned by Prince William.
Netizens Rally in Support as Princess Kate Undergoes Chemotherapy
Netizens flooded the X (formerly Twitter) post with love and prayers for Princess Kate, expressing their heartfelt support. One user wrote, “Wishing her all the best. Same for Catherine too. Sending love from Florida.” Another commented, “Perfect William, and best wishes for Kate!”
Many users expressed admiration for Prince William’s dedication to his family, with one saying, “A prince proud of his nation and his love for his family.” The comment section was also filled with prayers for the princess, such as, “Sending healing thoughts and love to the Princess.”
Princess Kate herself shared the news in a pre-recorded clip aired on March 22, 2024, via the BBC network. She revealed that she is undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
The couple’s three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were informed about their mother’s condition right before their Christmas break. While Princess Kate tried to soften the news for her youngest son Louis, she had to have a more difficult conversation with George and Charlotte.
Princess Kate’s parents, Michael, 74, and Carole Middleton, 69, are providing support to their grandchildren during this challenging time. Meanwhile, Prince William is managing his royal duties while caring for his wife during her cancer treatment.
