Princess Kate has emerged as the most beloved royal in the UK, marking a significant shift in popularity that may come as a blow to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as revealed in a recent Gov UK poll. In the poll conducted among 2004 adults, 76% favored Kate, the Princess of Wales, signaling a surge in her popularity by six points since the beginning of the year. This rise in favor contrasts starkly with the popularity of Prince Harry and Meghan, who were favored by only 31% and 21% of respondents, respectively.
Prince William, the Prince of Wales, also shows strong support for his wife, with 73% favoring her. This shift in public opinion is particularly noteworthy as Kate has been undergoing cancer treatment, making her resilience and grace in the face of adversity even more admirable.
Kate's journey took a somber turn earlier this year when she underwent abdominal surgery, initially believed to be non-cancerous. However, post-operative tests revealed the presence of cancer, leading to the shocking revelation last month in an emotional video address to the nation.
In her statement, Kate shared the news of her diagnosis and the subsequent treatment plan, emphasizing her commitment to healing and her family's privacy. She expressed gratitude for the support of her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, whom they've kept informed and reassured throughout the process.
Despite the challenges, Kate remains optimistic, affirming her steady recovery and resilience in the face of adversity, while also thanking the public for their ongoing support and well wishes.
