Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles III is extremely proud of Catherine for her brave nature in sharing her experiences of overcoming cancer.
The statement read that the King, who has been personally diagnosed with cancer, is currently in frequent communication with his dear daughter-in-law.
Many people have shown their support for the princess after she revealed in a video on Friday that being diagnosed was a big surprise to her.
Since the end of February, she has been receiving preventive chemotherapy.
The daughter of the king expressed that the past few months have been very challenging for her loved ones, but she is doing better and gaining more strength with each passing day.
She announced her news after six weeks of King Charles stopping his public presence due to his own cancer diagnosis.
Both of them received medical attention for a short period of time at the London Clinic, a hospital for private patients.
In the month of January, Catherine underwent an abdominal surgery that had been scheduled beforehand. Around the same time, the King was hospitalized due to an enlarged prostate and was given a corrective procedure.
Buckingham Palace stated that His Majesty feels extremely proud of Catherine for displaying immense courage while expressing herself.
Before the announcement made on Friday, King Charles and Queen Camilla were already made aware of the princess's condition. They expressed their commitment to providing love and support to the entire family during this challenging period.
The Prince and his wife expressed their desire for Kate and her family to recover and get better, while hoping that they can go through the process without any unwanted attention or disturbance.
Catherine's sibling James Middleton shared a comforting message on Instagram, saying: "Throughout the past years, we have faced many challenges together. As a united family, we will also overcome this obstacle with you."
The kind of cancer that Catherine has been diagnosed with has not been revealed by Kensington Palace. Nevertheless, they are optimistic that she will completely recuperate.

The general public has been expressing their condolences to the princess through various messages.
During an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Karl - a resident of Yorkshire - expressed his well-wishes for Catherine. He shared that he had received a cancer diagnosis approximately two years ago, and breaking the news to his three grown-up kids was among the most challenging tasks he had to endure.
He stated that he hadn't revealed his sickness to his six-year-old daughter since he doesn't seem to be sick. He further expressed that he doesn't envy Kate, as she doesn't have the ability to remain anonymous like him.
According to Rod Laight, the Primrose Hospice's trustee chairman in Bromsgrove, Catherine's words can offer a great deal of solace to numerous families.
According to him, the accomplishments of Princess Kate will bring about incredibly advantageous outcomes for those who are engaged in the field of cancer care.
Eve Watts, a Windsor resident, expressed her surprise at the news, stating that the victim's young age was shocking. She emphasized that this incident serves as a reminder that such events can happen to anyone.
Valerie, who came to the historic town from Southport to visit Ms. Watts, expressed her desire that Catherine's video would bring an end to all of the uncertainty and rumors.
On the other side of the street from Windsor Castle, Sonia Dunn, who was visiting, stated that the princess was a remarkable young lady and a substantial benefit to the country. Dunn further commented that we should give her enough time and freedom to accomplish her goals.
Eve Watts was surprised upon hearing the news from Catherine, stating that it is a possibility for anyone to experience such a situation.
In the meantime, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed on Friday that Catherine exhibited "remarkable courage" in spite of "harsh examination."
He included: "In terms of one's well-being, similar to everybody else, it's essential that she's allowed her privacy to concentrate on her therapy and remain with her caring family."
Sir Keir Starmer, the head of the Labour party, expressed his sympathy towards the Royal Family. He also mentioned that he was uplifted by the princess's positive outlook and her inspiring "belief in goodness and positivity".
Sir Keir also mentioned the examination that Kate had to go through in the past few weeks. He talked about the extra pressure she was under when she received her diagnosis as there were many unfounded rumors going around.
The Most Reverend Justin Welby, who is the Archbishop of Canterbury, expressed admiration for the princess for showing "compassion and dedication" in discussing her medical condition. He also conveyed his well-wishes to her during this incredibly challenging period.
In other places, President of the United States Joe Biden announced that he would be participating with the millions of people worldwide who are praying for the complete recovery of Catherine.
French leader Emmanuel Macron expressed that the princess's fortitude and ability to overcome adversity serves as a source of motivation for everyone.
In Catherine's recorded message, she clarifies that during her recent abdominal procedure, there was no prior knowledge of any presence of cancer.
Back in January, Kensington Palace made it known to the public that the princess had undergone a pre-arranged surgery, which had nothing to do with cancer, and that she would continue to receive hospital care for a time period of 10 to 14 days before going back home to recuperate.
The princess revealed on Friday that tests conducted after her surgery determined the existence of cancer.
She stated that her medical team recommended a preventive chemotherapy treatment for her and she is currently starting that treatment.
The individual who is 42 years old stated that they were considering all of the individuals who have been impacted by cancer. They included: "To anyone going through this illness, no matter how it presents itself, please don't lose your belief or optimism. Remember that you are not by yourself in this."
It's unlikely that Catherine and the Prince of Wales will join the rest of the Royal Family on Easter Sunday. Additionally, the princess won't resume her official duties anytime soon.
According to Kensington Palace, Prince William did not attend a memorial service on 27 February due to receiving news about Catherine's cancer diagnosis.
The pair has experienced a lot of scrutiny from the public and an overwhelming response on social media regarding her wellbeing - even including some unfounded theories - since she underwent surgery earlier this year. She has not made any appearances at official engagements since the end of last year.
Back in March, the prince and Catherine put out a picture of the princess and their three kids in honor of Mother's Day. Some news outlets later removed the photo because they were worried it had been altered.
Afterwards, Kensington Palace issued a statement on behalf of Catherine expressing regret "for any misunderstanding" regarding the picture and clarifying that she sometimes tries out photo manipulation techniques.
Although Catherine has taken a step back from her royal obligations, Charles has persisted in carrying out his constitutional responsibility as the leader of the state. He was recently observed participating in a virtual address for a ceremony commemorating Commonwealth Day.
