Kate Middleton was forced to issue a statement on her health condition after Palace was made aware of a breach.
The Princess of Wales, who revealed her cancer diagnosis in a video message released on March 22, was rushed to shut down any further security matters, per a source cited by The Daily Mail.
Reportedly, there had been a leak of the Princess’ medical records at London Clinic, where Kate underwent her abdominal surgery and King Charles was also treated earlier this year.
The outlet’s Ephraim Hardcastle column quoted a well-placed royal source that revealed that the “Kensington Palace had been contacted about Kate’s diagnosis, leaving no option but to hurry to get ahead of the story.”
“Whether the leak came from The London Clinic, or from a flunkey who had been loose-lipped, remains unclear. Whatever the reason, the universal acclaim heaped on Kate confirmed it was the right decision,” the column read.
Previously, there were speculations that Kate’s health condition was disclosed ahead of the Easter service so that her absence would no cause more frenzy to the ongoing rumour mill.
Kate then released the heartbreaking video announcing her diagnosis.
While the Princess did not specify any futher details about her cancer, except that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy, she will be taking time to recover in privacy.
It is unclear when Kate Middleton would be able to return to her public duty.
