Fmr. Writer for the Daily Mirror Says Kate Middleton Was Forced to Make Video Announcement of Cancer Diagnosis

EXCERPT:

MINEARDS: “Well, good afternoon, Martha. Yes, I think everyone is totally thunderstruck. And as your previous correspondent said, the tone will change from total speculation to total reverence. I think that Kate was forced to make this video in some ways because of the rampant speculation that’s been going on about her missing for the last two or three months since she is treated at the London Clinic initially. And, of course, cancer loomed large over the Windsors. We have the king, Charles III, having cancer, and more recently Sarah, the Duchess of York, with breast cancer and more recently skin cancer. So, hopefully, it’s all being caught very early in the circumstances. The London Clinic is very much on par with the Mayo Clinic, or the Cleveland Clinic, the best medical treatment in the world. And certainly, I think — as I say, I think all these cancers are being caught early, so I think there’s room for optimism.”
