- Princess Kate has released a statement
- In it, she announces that she has finished her chemotherapy
- Why this time of day?
Princess Kate announced in a personal video, that their preventive chemotherapy has been successfully completed. The announcement was published to media representatives on September 9, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. (U.K. time)
This is remarkable, as in the past such announcements were usually published on Fridays at 6 pm to synchronize with 'BBC News at Six' broadcasts, as reported by the British 'Express, among others.
Why was Princess Kate's announcement made then of all times?
Kate's original announcement that she was undergoing cancer treatment was also made on Friday, March 22, at 6 pm. Historically, care has always been taken to make important royal announcements at times that coincide with news broadcasts or newspaper publication times.
The timing of the current announcement deviates significantly from this tradition. This raises questions as to why the announcement was not made at a later date as usual.
