Thus, according to the new royal biography, in adolescence, Kate Middleton suffered a “emergency surgery”
to remove a lump on the head, reports the journalist, quoted by The Independent.
“Apart from bouts of weakness, morning sickness and, of course, stays in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital to deliver her children, Catherine has thankfully avoided hospitalization for most of her life,” explained Rob Jobson in “Catherine, The Princess of Wales”.
“As a teenager, however, while at Marlborough College, she discovered a bump on the left side of her head, just below her hairline. The school immediately notified her parents, and her mother, Carole, took her to the hospital, where she underwent surgery to remove it.” continues the author of the biography.
This left a five centimeter scar, which was noted at Kate Middleton’s first official event in 2001. The palace later released a brief statement saying “The scar is related to a childhood operation.”
All these details come after the princess was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year following planned abdominal surgery. In an emotional video released in March, Kate explained that at the time of the operation in January, doctors believed her condition was non-cancerous.
She then shared her solidarity with others affected by the disease and explained that she will be staying out of the public eye for the foreseeable future while she undergoes preventive chemotherapy.
However, she returned to public life at the official King’s Day parade, Trooping the Colour, in June. An appearance at Wimbledon this month followed to present the trophies on the final day, one to a standing ovation.
“I was very moved by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last two months. They really made a big difference to William and me and helped us both through the tougher times. I am making progress, but as anyone going through chemo knows, there are good days and bad days. On bad days you feel weak, tired and need to give in to rest. But on good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of your well-being. My treatment is ongoing and will take a few more months”the princess said before her first public event in June.
