“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement Friday.
Harry and Markle’s statement comes after Middleton, 42, somberly announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer following a planned surgery in January.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” she said in the video message filmed by BBC Studios.
The Princess of Wales said it has been “an incredibly tough couple of months” for her and her family but she is “so grateful” for the medical team who has taken care of her.
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she explained. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”
Middleton said she was advised by her medical teams to “undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy,” which she said she is now in the early stages of.
