The BBC reveals everything about the video where Princess Kate Middleton publicly announced her serious illness

Princess of Wales Kate Middleton's two-minute video message announcing she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy was recorded Wednesday, March 20, in Windsor, produced by BBC Studio, a production unit of the British service. .

Kensington Palace informed BBC News, which is part of BBC Studios, on Friday afternoon of the princess' video announcement.

The BBC journalist who follows the royal family, Sarah Campbell, said that this media company did not participate in the editing of the message and did not change the statement of the princess.

BBC Studio released a statement confirming that they had secured production for the shoot.

"We would like to wish Her Highness a speedy recovery," BBC Studio said in a statement.

The Princess of Wales announced through a video message that she was suffering from cancer and had undergone preventive chemotherapy. The video, posted on the official account of the Princess and Prince of Wales on "X", was viewed by more than 25 million people in the first hour. It had 299k likes, 20k comments and 73k retweets.

Her previous attempt to communicate with the public, posting a photo with her children for Mother's Day, sparked scandal when it turned out that the photo had been edited. The world's leading photo agencies pulled the photo and Kate quickly admitted she edited the photo, which was taken by her husband Prince William.

Instead of calming the public, who were increasingly asking questions about where and what happened to the princess, who is only known to have undergone abdominal surgery in January, the photo sparked a new avalanche of questions and speculation.
