Biden and First Lady Send Well Wishes to Princess Kate Following Diagnosis

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have expressed their support for Catherine, Princess of Wales, following her announcement that she is battling cancer. In a message shared on social media, the President joined the First Lady and millions around the world in wishing the Princess a full recovery. The announcement came after the Princess had been absent from public duties since January, following major abdominal surgery.

The Princess, aged 42, conveyed the news through a video message, where she thanked her medical team, family, and supporters. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also issued a statement, praising her bravery and calling for respect for her privacy as she focuses on her treatment. The White House emphasized the need for respecting Middleton's privacy and cautioned against speculation regarding her health.

Catherine's diagnosis has resonated deeply with the Bidens, as they have personal experience with cancer's impact; their son, Beau Biden, passed away from brain cancer in 2015, and Jill Biden has had friends and a sister who battled breast cancer. The King and Queen Consort have been informed of Catherine's condition, and there is a collective sentiment of support for her and those affected by cancer across nations.
