The post from James Middleton revealed a never-before-seen photo of himself and Kate as children.
“Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too,” James wrote.
Beautiful.

“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.”
After thanking people all over the world for their encouraging words and “wonderful messages of support,” Middleton continued to say her and Prince William’s focus has been their three children.
“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.”
“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.”
She continued, also thanking her husband for being “ a great source of comfort and reassurance.”
“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,” she assured everyone.
