Kate Middleton's Cancer Struggle Reportedly More Intense Than Revealed
Kate Middleton's Cancer Struggle Reportedly More Intense Than Revealed originally appeared on Parade.
Fifteen months after Kate Middleton bravely shared her cancer diagnosis with the world, new reports suggest her private health battle was reportedly more serious than previously revealed. This update comes in the wake of the Princess of Wales pulling out of a Royal Ascot appearance at the last minute, raising fresh concerns about her condition and sparking renewed speculation about her recovery.
Royal editor and insider Rebecca English penned an essay for The Daily Mail, addressing these concerns. She claimed the princess was "seriously unwell" before her surgery in January 2024.
English speculated, "As I have previously revealed, the princess was seriously unwell in the run-up to her surgery in the first place. And while that is a story only for her to tell, if she ever chooses to do so."
"I can say that, from what I understand, she is fortunate to even be speaking of recovery. So, while she may be glowing on the outside, the drama over her last-minute non-attendance at Royal Ascot last week is, perhaps, a timely reminder that the princess was really very poorly not so long ago."

The palace revealed that the Princess of Wales underwent a scheduled abdominal surgery in January 2024. She addressed her health in March of that same year when she took to social media to share a video statement.
Subsequently, Kate took on her first official engagement, 2024's Trooping the Color, six months after her surgery. She continued to maintain a light schedule throughout the remainder of the year.
In January 2025, the princess announced she was in remission during an appearance at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Her statement was printed via Instagram.
During the same appearance, Kate opened up further about her cancer treatment while speaking with fellow patients. The Daily Mail captured a portion of the Princess's conversation, offering a rare glimpse into her health journey.
"You think treatment's finished, crack on with that… daily tasks, but that's still like a real challenge. And talking… the words totally disappear… understanding that as a patient, yes there are side effects around treatment, but actually there are more long-term side effects."
While speaking with a patient, the Princess of Wales gestured to her arm and chest. She appeared to reference the port used to deliver her chemotherapy treatment.
'I got so attached to it,' the Princess revealed. Additionally, she shared her hesitation when doctors said, 'You can have it taken out now.'
Kate Middleton continues to keep a modified royal schedule. She is married to Prince William and is the mother of three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

From Hinge to City Hall? Meet Zohran Mamdani's artist wife Rama Duwaji
Democrat Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory in Tuesday's New York City mayoral primary — leading to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's concession — has also put the spotlight on his wife. The assemblyman first began serving in the 36th Assembly District in 2021, representing the Astoria, Astoria Heights, and Ditmars-Steinway neighborhoods in Queens. Now, he's set to take his campaign to the next level as he looks to become New York City's next mayor this November. In his speech to supporters Tuesday night, Mamdani acknowledged his wife, Rama Duwaji, whom he married earlier this year in a civil ceremony in New York City. 'I must thank my incredible wife,' Mamdani said as the audience erupted in cheers and applause. 'Rama,' he continued as he kissed her hand, 'thank you.' Duwaji, 27, is originally from Damascus, Syria. Now based in New York City, she's an animator and illustrator who has worked with Spotify, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, BBC, Apple, and the Tate Modern. The couple met on the dating app Hinge, he revealed on The Bulwark podcast earlier this month. Mamdani, 33, shared his belief that there's 'still hope in those dating apps.' According to her website, Duwaji uses drawn portraiture and movement to 'examine the nuances of sisterhood and communal experiences.' In addition to her work as an illustrator, she also creates hand-built ceramics and teaches workshops. She posted a series of photos on Instagram Tuesday with the caption: 'couldn't possibly be prouder.' As the mayoral primary race heated up, Mamdani was accused of hiding his wife from the campaign. He then posted about marrying Duwaji at the start of the year, urging naysayers to keep his wife out of the race. 'Three months ago, I married the love of my life, Rama, at the City Clerk's office,' his post began. 'Now, right-wing trolls are trying to make this race—which should be about you—about her. 'Rama isn't just my wife, she's an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms. You can critique my views, but not my family.' Duwaji jokingly commented underneath: 'omg she's real.' Duwaji will likely remain by Mamdani's side as he enters the next phase of the mayoral race. Once the primary results are certified by the New York City Board of Elections in mid-July, they'll look ahead to the November 4 general election. Mamdani will square off against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an Independent, and Republican candidate and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. If elected, Mamdani would become New York's first Muslim and Indian American mayor — and he and Duwaji would become the first mayor and first lady of New York City to have met on Hinge.

Utah influencer Tanner Martin announces his own death at 30 in video weeks after welcoming first child: ‘I had a heck of a life'
Popular influencer Tanner Martin announced his death at age 30 in a pre-recorded video just weeks after he welcomed his first child. The Utah dad said he had a 'heck of a life' in an Instagram video shared Wednesday following his five-year battle with stage four colon cancer. 'Hey, it's me, Tanner, if you're watching this, I am dead,' Martin said in the heartbreaking clip, which was shared to his and wife Shay's joint account that boasts 454,000 followers. 4 Tanner Martin announced his death in a pre-recorded Instagram video. Instagram / tannerandshay The content creator, who publicly documented his cancer journey, said he wanted to record a 'lighthearted' video ahead of his death so his partner could upload it and focus on grieving. 'I had a heck of a life,' he went on. 'I decided to make this video announcing my death because I saw someone did that, like, a year or so ago, and I think it's a good opportunity to get all your thoughts out and also you can be thoughtful about what your partner or spouse might need and she probably needs some time to grieve.' Martin thanked fans for their support and asked them to pray for his wife and their newborn, AmyLou, who was born on May 15. 'Life was awesome,' he shared. 'I really enjoyed it while I was here. Hopefully, I believe there's something after this and I'm excited to meet those people, and hopefully we're hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds.' In the video, the social media personality discussed the afterlife and claimed he was looking forward to meeting his wife's father, his biological grandpa on his dad's side and other family members. 'I'm excited to see them not in pain and just happy,' Martin said. 4 Martin and his wife welcomed their first baby in May. GoFundMe 4 The content creator's dying wish was for fans to donate to a GoFundMe page to support his wife and daughter. Instagram / tannerandshay 'Death is scary but it's also like a new adventure, you know, and I'm kind of excited for it a little bit, but not in like a, like, you know, 'I want to kill myself' or anything, but I'm excited to see what the experience is like and hopefully it's good,' he said. Martin did not have life insurance and his dying wish, which was shared in a separate pre-recorded video on Wednesday, saw him ask fans to donate to his widow and daughter through a GoFundMe fundraiser. 'For less than the price of a hot and spicy McChicken (Tanner's words…LOL), you can give them a future Tanner only wished he could stay to provide,' the page said. 4 The couple held hands inside a birth recovery room at Utah's Intermountain Health American Fork Hospital on May 15, 2025. The Washington Post via Getty Images The fundraiser has raised nearly $400,000 for his family. Martin was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in November 2020 and he spent five years sharing his personal journey online until he died.

31-Year-Old Influencer Dies Hours After Breast Augmentation, Liposuction and Nose Job: Reports
Brazilian singer and model Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini reportedly died following cosmetic surgery in Istanbul, Turkey, on June 15 She travelled with her husband, Elgar Sueia, from Mozambique to Istanbul, where she had liposuction, a nose job, and breast augmentation In a statement shared with Turkiye Today, Tusa Hospital claimed that there was 'an unexpected complication" during recovery, noting that resuscitation was attempted for 90 minutesA Brazilian singer, model, and influencer has reportedly died following three cosmetic surgery procedures in Istanbul, Turkey. According to local outlet O Tempo, 31-year-old Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini and her husband, Elgar Sueia, 30, travelled from Mozambique to Istanbul, where she underwent liposuction, breast augmentation, and a nose job on Sunday, June 15. Sueia alleges Buldrini — who had had 797,000 Instagram followers — had an agreement with Tusa Hospital to receive the surgeries in exchange for promoting the hospital on her social media accounts. However, her husband told O Tempo that Buldrini died just hours after the operations, after going into cardiorespiratory arrest. He also alleged to the outlet that his wife had not been adequately prepared for the procedures. 'She wanted to undergo these procedures to improve her aesthetic standards. It was a dream of hers,' he said. 'The surgery was scheduled for this Wednesday [June 18], but, due to scheduling issues, the surgeon decided to bring it forward to Sunday [June 15].' 'We went to the clinic on Sunday just to see the place, but the doctor wanted to perform the procedure without Ana being prepared," he added to the Brazilian newspaper.

According to Turkish outlet Turkiye Today, the grieving husband stated that fasting was a requirement for the surgery, yet his wife had eaten. The outlet also reported that surgery took place just two days after the initial consultation. According to G1, Buldrini's surgery was completed by 11 p.m. on June 15. Sueia was told that he could see his wife, and though she was still under anesthetic, she would wake up. "They told me to go to the room, the assistants were acting strangely,' Sueia said, per G1. 'I waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes to receive her. I went down to the ground floor, and a doctor said that her heart was beating slowly, another said that she was already dead.' Sueia took to Instagram to share his heartbreak at Buldrini's death. 'I speak today not only as a husband who lost the love of his life — Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini — but also as a human being demanding truth, accountability, and justice,' he captioned a post sharing a news report about the case from Turkish TV station, EKOL TV. 'On June 16th, 2025, Ana tragically lost her life at a private clinic in Pendik, Istanbul. She came to this country with hope and trust.' He added, 'That trust was broken by the system that allowed this to happen unchecked.' In a statement, per Turkiye Today, Tusa Hospital claimed the patient had been made aware of all legal and medical information, adding that there was 'an unexpected complication" during recovery. They also noted that recusitation was attempted for 90 minutes. 'Despite all efforts by our expert anesthesiology team, the patient could not be resuscitated,' the statement concluded. PEOPLE has contacted Tusa Hospital for comment and the Turkish National Police for comment, but did not immediately hear back. Read the original article on People
