SAD ANNOUNCEMENT: Fans are left in tears when Royal Prince William delivers the heartbreaking announcement, “My wife, has been… See More

A rumor about Prince William circulated on Facebook in the weeks after Kate, Princess of Wales, announced she had been diagnosed with cancer. In April 2024, numerous Facebook pages posted a rumor about the British royal family claiming William, Prince of Wales, had made a sad announcement about his wife, Kate, Princess of Wales.

The posts all read, “Prince William makes the sad announcement that leaves fans in tears: ‘My wife it’s been…’” This same text was shared on Facebook in March, too. This rumor was shared on Facebook after a March 22 video announcement in which Kate disclosed she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. The news followed King Charles III’s own cancer diagnosis, which was disclosed by Buckingham Palace on Feb. 5.

Kate stood solemnly on the balcony at the Cenotaph, dressed in traditional black, including a netted hat, twisted chignon hairstyle, and a military-style coat adorned with black epaulettes and a velvet bow at the neck.

Supported by Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, she watched as King Charles and Prince William led the ceremony, laying wreaths in honour of the fallen. William’s tribute stood out with the Prince of Wales feathers, but fans noted one difference this year – the card was signed solely by William, reading, “In memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. We will remember them. William.”

Previously, both William and Kate would sign the tribute card together. Her attendance at the event was only confirmed on Friday, suggesting that this last-minute decision may have prevented her from adding her signature in time.

The Princess’s participation in the Festival of Remembrance the night before marked her first back-to-back public engagements this year.

Her appearance follows Prince William’s heartfelt admission that 2024 has been “probably the hardest year in my life,” acknowledging the challenges both Kate and the King have faced amid their cancer diagnoses.
