Despite dealing with her own health predicaments, Kate Middleton shows concern for others around her, with actress Manisha Koirala experiencing her caring nature in a touching letter amid her battle with cancer. The Princess of Wales spent the better part of 2024 dealing with health struggles. In January, the royal mom underwent a planned abdominal surgery to treat an undisclosed medical condition. The sad announcement of Kate’s cancer diagnosis followed in March. Her health woes prompted the princess to take time off royal duties to focus on health and recovery.
Thankfully, the final quarter of the year has been more promising for the royal, who recently completed her chemotherapy treatment and made a triumphant return to her public engagements. Having experienced the turmoil of dealing with cancer, Kate understood how tough it could get, especially for someone in the spotlights. Hence, Kate Middleton did not hesitate to respond to Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala, 54, when she reached out to her at the height of her own cancer battle.
Kate Middleton Pens Congratulatory Letter to Manisha Koirala
The actress, who is in remission from stage four ovarian cancer, revealed in a lengthy statement that the Princess of Wales penned a touching message to her. In the letter, which the actress did not make public, Kate Middleton congratulated Manisha on her successful recovery and return to work. In response, the star, touched by Kate’s warm gesture, expressed her gratitude in a statement to Online Khabar, saying,
“I wanted to reach out to HRH The Princess of Wales to send my good wishes, particularly due to my own experiences. I am deeply heartened to receive such a warm response from her and wish her the very best of health.”
Going further, Manisha explained that she would continue lending her voice in support of cancer patients, and to raise awareness about “the need for equitable healthcare access.” The Mann actress, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012, also highlighted the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms of the condition, which is an indispensable tool for early detection and treatment.
Details about Kate Middleton’s cancer battle or the nature of the illness remain widely unknown. Regardless, like anyone dealing with the ailment, it took a toll on Kate’s family, disrupting the royal life as we knew it. Her husband Prince William had to step up to take on the roles of dad and mom to their three kids while putting some royal responsibilities on hold. The constant heckling from the curious public did little to abate the stress, coupled with King Charles’ cancer diagnosis. Thankfully, the royal family emerged from these dark moments stronger, with Kate returning to royal life full-time, while the British monarch is gearing off to embrace his normal schedule, overseas trips inclusive, come 2025.
