Kate Middleton won’t return to royal duties until she receives approval from her doctors.

“I am so proud of the King going to Cancer Research U.K. and becoming the royal patron, going out there and talking to all these people,” Ferguson told GB News. “It gives everybody that wonderful feeling that they are being listened to, I thought it was very brave for him to do that.”

“The lovely Princess Catherine doing the video was so brave, I think family unity is an extraordinary thing,” she added. “I am so proud, I am sending lots of love and lots of support. We can all rally together.”

Kate Middleton and King Charles were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

In March, Kate took to Instagram to update fans on her health after rumors spread online about her whereabouts.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and understanding whilst I’ve been recovering from surgery,” Kate began in a video. “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. 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 I should undergo preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.”

“This of course comes as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this for our young family. It has taken my time for me to recover from my surgery,” she continued. “Most importantly, it has taken us time to explain to George, Charlotte and Louis and to reassure them I am going to be OK. As I’ve said to them, I am well. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort, and the love and support and kindness that has been shown from so many of you. As a family, we need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy. I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time, I am also thinking of those whose lives have been affected by cancer. Please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
