Seated amidst daffodils and blossoming spring trees, she spoke earnestly, «This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.»
«As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.»

During her January abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace initially stated it was non-cancerous. They reiterated tonight that no tests had indicated cancer. However, subsequent post-operative tests revealed its presence. This evening’s revelation will undoubtedly reverberate globally, following weeks of speculation and unfounded conjecture about her health. It presents a new challenge for the British Royal Family, coinciding with King Charles’s own cancer battle.
The princess is currently following a recovery plan, having begun chemotherapy in late February. Consequently, Prince William withdrew from a memorial service honoring his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece. Kensington Palace has emphasized against speculation regarding the type of cancer.

In her video statement, the Princess appeared casually attired in a striped Breton top paired with jeans. She said: «I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.»
«In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and, at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.»
«We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.»

Even amid her personal turmoil, she had a message of hope for others battling cancer. She went on, saying, «At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.»
We extend our well-wishes for a swift recovery to Catherine, Princess of Wales. Recently, the princess was seen in public for the first time since her surgery, accompanied by her mother. View her photo here.
‘The Union’ Premiere Stir: Halle Berry Flaunts Curves in Lace Dress That ‘Looks Like Lingerie’ Next to Mark Wahlberg
Berry stunned everyone with her stunning debut in a silky black outfit. This audacious ensemble made a statement rather than just being a stunner.
Featuring a tight waist, a deep V-neckline, and a flowery lace pattern, the knee-length dress artistically displayed just enough to keep the focus on the star.
The Ohio native struck poses for eager photographers from every angle, obviously enjoying the limelight. Her dress’s thin material offered enticing views that caused heads to turn.
Berry added an additional touch of refinement to her attire by selecting black shoes with semi-sheer mesh material and double leather straps.
Her expression was equally mesmerizing. Berry radiated carefree grace with her chin-length chestnut hair fashioned in soft, beachy waves. She went for a beautiful, sun-kissed look with a bit of soft pink blush, a sparkle of gold highlighter, and a glossy nude pout, keeping her makeup basic with warm dramatic smokey eyes.
Berry wore understated yet elegant accessories. She wore round diamond-studded earrings on her ears and stacked a few little rings on her fingers. Her manicure, done in dazzling white, made a dramatic contrast.
Berry’s recent performance on the red carpet left little room for interpretation. She also caught people’s attention and generated a lot of responses from both supporters and detractors. She looks good in it, praised one ardent fan. I adore it as underwear, but not as much as a dress.
Berry’s audacious wardrobe choice appears to have raised questions about whether it belonged in a boudoir rather than at a premiere. Another trending theme was glamour that defied age. Berry,58, had admirers in awe of her glowing youth. “58???? What????” cried out one stunned fan.They said, “Dang, she looks beyond amazing.”
Much impressed, a different admirer screamed, “How is she 58? My mind is acting strangely! She looks amazing.”Prettiest 58-year-old, I’ve seen,” another person commented.All of her admirers agreed that Halle Berry is still the height of fantastic at the age of 58.
However, not everyone admired Berry’s audacious ensemble. After voicing their criticisms, one commentator suggested that people “put some clothes on and have some class.”
“She’s better than this,” remarked someone else, and “This ain’t an age-appropriate dress,” was brought up by a third.It’s evident that although Berry’s ensemble stunned many, it also sparked discussions about age, class, and style.
The effortlessly stylish Mark Wahlberg, 53, joined her, demonstrating that age is no longer a hindrance to elegance. Wahlberg wore a muted blue zip-up jacket, black jeans, and a white T-shirt for a stylish yet simple ensemble.
His effortlessly attractive suit was given a contemporary twist by his white sneakers. With a broad smile on his face, the actor displayed a picture-perfect family moment in a family portrait with his supermodel wife and their children.
