Kensington Palace has finally taken action to address an apparent error made by a well-known royal reporter, who incorrectly suggested in September that Kate Middleton never had cancer but was instead diagnosed with “pre-cancerous cells.

The 42-year-old attended the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday with Prince William and King Charles III in a coat dress and pearl drop earrings.

In March, Kate confirmed she had been diagnosed with an unknown form of cancer. What followed was a nine-month battle as she underwent “preventative chemotherapy”. She endured intense online speculation in the weeks leading up to the public announcement and has largely stayed out of the spotlight since.
