The Princess Of Wales Is Receiving Treatment For Cancer | This Morning's View

A very touching message, wasn't it really a shock? The shocking news continues to make headlines around the world. We are joined by Camil Tomy and Jes Brandr. Good

morning

to both of you. This

morning

I spoke all week. Camila from Monday to Friday. about what was happening with the

princess

and suddenly, on Friday afternoon, the news broke and she released

this

message, it felt like it was a real shock from all the shock, didn't it? I mean, how many times have we sat here saying? she's recovering she's recovering leave her alone um and then finding out that she's been suffering a lot more than any of us thought and obviously grappling with how to tell the public but also how to tell her children um and I think at the time of the Friday we get it They had received the news of the

cancer

a couple of weeks earlier because when Prince William pulled out of that memorial service for King Constantine II of Greece that was going to take place at St.

George's Chapel, he pulled out at the last minute citing personal reasons that we now know. That's when they found out, but they chose to announce it on Friday and in that particular way she had decided that she wanted to do the video message. I understood that William had his reservations about it because I think he was still quite angry that her need was justified and obviously he lived his entire marriage trying to protect her from wanting history to repeat itself, but she was very determined to record that message . I thought she showed such kind of mental strength and courage that it was extremely well delivered.

I wrote a piece of the telegraph saying that she was actually a little reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth II, just in the quiet dignity of her and the way she carried herself. I think as parents, as human beings, you, her heart goes out to the fact that she has to tell those three. kids, what's going on and the timing was so they could break up on Friday, be home with their parents, they knew it would create another kind of media frenzy and therefore they wanted to protect George Charlotte and Louie as much as possible. possible, but our Our hearts go out to the

princess

and obviously we wish her all the best with her chemotherapy and it was different because it was not a statement issued by Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace as it had been, for example, when we heard about the king's

cancer

this

was a personal message there she is sitting on the bench just talking to us what is encouraging is her positivity yes because it is shocking for people my age or the king's age cancer is not tragically unusual , but for young people like her it is unusual and It is worrying and very scary, but all the research shows that people with a positive attitude help themselves and the results for people who are positive are better for those people who are not positive, so your whole approach is wonderful, encouraging and very moving.

I also think it really gives to other people who are going through something very similar and maybe in a very similar situation with their own young children. I think it was also quite hopeful and I think that's something that can't be. It's not underrated either. I think she was encouraged by the positive reception the king got when announcing what was happening with his own health and we know there was a lot of coverage over the weekend, they were close anyway, obviously this has brought them closer together, we know that. that when they were both in the London clinic at the same time, the King was walking down the hall to see his daughter-in-law, I mean a strange set of circumstances to be in and obviously if you're going through

treatment

in the While I'm a close relative, I think that should help.

I think it should be comforting and reassuring. However, he then realizes the difficulty for Prince William in all of this. Imagine your father and his wife being diagnosed with cancer at the same time and how to deal with that not only as air for the throne and thinking about family as a business, but also thinking about your own loved ones. I mean, I appreciate that they're a king and princess to the rest of the world, but this is his family. I've seen the Prince of Wales at a couple of events. Recently I didn't know any of this and people who watched him thought he was very subdued about what was going on and yet people thought he was really well done. he turned up and did these things, he came, for example, to the Commonwealth day service to accompany Queen Camilla a couple of weeks ago and yes, he seemed calm and somber, but he carried on and it's a strange life these people have what to wear It is stopped by public figures this week, for example, the show will be on Thursday, it will be Monday.

Thursday always at the end of the Queen's year, a very important day, the king would normally be on that, uh, this year, it'll just be Camilla alone with a video message. of the King coming from Wer Cathedral, so it will continue as people say over the weekend, this is a problem, not a crisis, it is a health scare and a worry, yes, as happens in many families, but As K said, that is the reality of this Kim. It also makes them feel more human because everyone will know what your point is about her, her statement, even though the Mago video I thought was very pertinent, felt really authentic.

I made her believe that she chose and insisted on writing every She found out about it herself in a world of PR machines and everyone was very nervous about what she was revealing and what she was saying, insisting that these were all her own. In other words, it all came from her and I think you could tell she was just feeling AB Abely. I mean she was speaking there because she has a public duty as a princess, but she was also speaking, basically, it wasn't her as a woman, wife and mother, and that's how we can always relate to those kinds of statements, it's the same thing. with the statement to reconvene or even the statement after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was there a notion that Kensington Palace had perhaps lost control of the narrative and this was the best way to get it back on track? ?

Yes maybe. I think there is something too sterile about a statement on an issue as important and personal as this, and there is also a need to look at it and see how it is. I mean, bless her, it looks as good as you could hope for, it couldn't. Considering everything he's been through, he always has to have these moments. Doesn't she give birth? They display it publicly. She is diagnosed with cancer. They display it publicly. um, although I think part of everyone's reaction has been really Counting also, you know the tributes that have come in in the well wishes that she's received and that have been in this extraordinary backdrop over the last few weeks of something real vness online and it's still going on this weekend, still the abuse spills into what I just did.

I wanted to make note of something we heard here from Linda Yaro, who is the CEO of um allow you to move forward without endless speculation. As a reasonable request for respect, I found it quite extraordinary from the CEO of an organization that doesn't seem to be able to stop people from insulting someone who is now a cancer patient. I found it a little ironic, actually, yes, of course, because that's often where these things come out of don't they, absolutely, absolutely me, but the people talking come closer, uh J? We are led to believe that the Sussexes have reached out and this could potentially be the kind of way back to Heal the RIS a little, well come on I hope so, let's hope there was a call from Harry last week telling Paul to listen to the news and send you lots of love.

There was supposedly, we don't know, the official message was for you, send hopes of health and healing, health and healing. health and healing, which is a bit of an American language, but here we go, but it would be a good outcome, but the truth is that Leed loves and respects Katherine and we only wish her and her family all the best and now I am very happy. that we stand back and let her continue with the

treatment

, yes, in fact, wouldn't it be great if Harry stepped into the gap a little? That's not going to happen, don't you think that if you go I know this doesn't seem very exciting to people, but the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are doing a lot more than before and I think you'll see a lot more of Prince Edward, who is the new Duke of Edinburgh , he just turned 60, we're seeing more of him the public attention that he was in this Commonwealth service that the Prince of Wales was in and I noticed that he was doing quite a bit to try to engage the public and he seems more relaxed, so which I think will be filling the gap.

The Princess Royal, who already does so much, will do even more, um, but the show will go on. I mean, Harry must be in the UK because it's the uh, 10th anniversary of the Invictus game, so I think he'll be attending one or two events, but we understand that it's not really the time to focus on Harry and Megan and reconciling with family, it's obviously a time to focus on Kate and the king. and your healing, yes, but if health and healing can come from that type of area, you would think that being able to reconnect in some way would let you know that maybe that would lend itself to many of you healing. touch uh Sylvia says uh poor Prince William losing his mother at such a young age must have been absolutely devastating now that he has to deal with this to support both his father and his wife in the fight against this horrible disease.

I mean, it's to your point. But he has tried to protect her for so long from this type of gaze and there is nothing more painful than having to share a truly personal physical health diagnosis. This will be really agonizing for them because what people don't do. What I don't think I realize about the Prince and Princess of Wales is that, although they are one of the most photographed couples in the world, they are actually very shy, introverted people, basically they are very family-oriented, they are homebodies, you know, no. They are kind. If they don't go out, they are not extroverted partygoers, they prefer to be at home rather than on a red carpet, and then have to expose so much of themselves to the public, they understand their obligation to be so. transparent and to be honest, but I think it will be particularly difficult for him because he desperately wants to balance for children this kind of public obligation and this need for privacy and particularly for children because their childhood became public property.

He doesn't want that for his own children, so they have been hands-on parents, they have been criticized, in fact, they have prioritized their immediate family and not the family business and their response to that has been good. Kate said, well, I was. I come from a very united family. I'm going to bring my children the way I was raised and I also think William thinks that you know his father in particular was quite absent and that he wants to be there for his own children. taking the kids to school every day through all this every day they are trying to strike the right balance yes public duty but really the importance of family and they are the future that's how not We mess things up in the future. is caring for the little ones now is a reminder of the global coverage of this global global that are so critical to the brand Britain, you know people around the world have cared about the Princess of Wales, yes, Paula actually He said I hope everyone leaves. on her own to recover with her family now, so I think she's a key part of this, right?

In announcing her cancer diagnosis, the whale princess offered words of support to those who have been affected by the disease, urging them. No lose faith
