During a visit to a center specializing in cancer treatment last month, William's wife ended up talking about one of the effects of chemotherapy she felt on her skin and which, in a way, affected her lifestyle.
The Princess of Wales revealed that she "couldn't read" and had difficulty "staying focused".
In a video that went viral on social media, you can hear Kate explaining to a patient at the center that she began carrying out activities related to painting and art after realizing that she was having difficulty reading.
"I don't know about you, but I couldn't really read or concentrate on anything. And actually, painting was my way of exploring interesting things and doing something that didn't require a final product or a finished work. But really, it's just a way of playing and getting carried away, and a lot of thoughts came up during that process," he confessed.
It is worth remembering that the princess revealed, at the beginning of 2025, that she was in remission from cancer.
According to Hello magazine, this cognitive problem, known as "chemotherapy brain", is common among patients. People may experience memory loss, attention deficit and difficulty performing multiple tasks at the same time.
According to the Royal Marsden, where Kate underwent treatment, the condition is caused by both the cancer and the treatments themselves.
