Kate first revealed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024, after months of speculation about her health. She completed her treatment in September 2024, sharing a personal video message, encouraging others battling cancer “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand.”

Her public acknowledgement of her health challenges and ongoing involvement in cancer care advocacy has drawn widespread support and admiration.
