Kate Middleton cancer video: Eagle-eyed royal fans spot all the details you may have missed
In a moving video, the Princess of Wales opened up on her cancer battle and said that while she has finished chemotherapy, the past few months have been hard for her family
The Princess of Wales released a moving video shot with her husband, Prince William, and their three children earlier this week to reveal she has finished a course of chemotherapy treatment.
Catherine, 42, opened up on the hard times her family has faced over the past few months as she described the cancer journey as “complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.” In the clip, Catherine and William can be seen out and about with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis while spending time together as a family following her diagnosis.
The princess said her path to healing and full recovery is still long as she declared: “I must continue to take each day as it comes.” The video, narrated by Catherine, moved royal people all over the world and some eagle-eyed fans spotted some details you may have missed.
Dogs enjoying Norfolk countryside
The video features two dogs, a black English cocker spaniel named Orla, and a brown spaniel named Nala, running in the Norfolk countryside. Orla was given to the Waleses by Catherine’s brother James Middleton, and Nala belongs to him.
Tropical plant
At some point, as the family plays cards at home, a giant pot plant can be seen in the background of the video. The plant is believed to belong to the Alocasia family. There are about 90 accepted species native to tropical and subtropical Asia and eastern Australia.
These beautiful plants can decorate indoor spaces but must be handled carefully as they contain calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic and can cause severe pain and swelling. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) says gloves should be used when handling these plants – and they should be kept away from children and pets.
Battle of Britain playing cards
During their picnic, the family had Battle of Britain playing cards to keep the children entertained. On the official website, these cards cost £7.20 but they’re also sold for £5.49 by Gibson Games. The website says these cards celebrate Churchill’s 1940s nation during Britain’s “finest hour” and feature “images of the brave RAF fighter pilots who won the Battle of Britain against odds and withstood the blitz, doodlebugs and V2s, nostalgically reminding the player of the past commanders, spitfires and posters from the war.”
