0 First Lady Jill Biden, Casey DeSantis, Ivanka Trump and Lauren Sanchez are ‘sending love’ to Kate Middleton after the Princess Of Wales announced her ‘shock’ cancer diagnosis.
The former First Daughter, 42, and the ex-TV personality, 54, showed their support to the royal, also 42, who delivered a powerful message, sharing the news on Friday that she was undergoing ‘preventative’ chemotherapy.
In a deeply personal, unprecedented and emotional video message, filmed at Windsor, the Princess revealed the news had come as a ‘huge shock’ and that she and husband, Prince William, ‘have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.’
The clip was shared across the couple’s social media accounts, and the Princess has been inundated with messages of support, including ones from Ivanka and Lauren, as well as the First Lady.
‘You are brave, and we love you,’ Biden wrote on X.

Biden and Trump have met Catherine and have a personal connection.
The first lady first met the princess in June 2021 when England hosted the annual G7 summit. The two women visited a local school to talk about early childhood education – a passion project for them both.
Jill Biden has co-led the Biden Cancer Initiative with her husband, President Joe Biden, with the goal of ending cancer as we know it.
The disease is deeply personal for the Bidens. Their son, Beau Biden, died of brain cancer in 2015.
Jill Biden has had friends and one of her sisters battle breast cancer.
She and Catherine met during the G7 summit three years ago at a elementary school in Cornwall. They played with the kids and fed carrots to a giant rabbit in the school garden.
The two women reunited in May 2023, along with Ukraine First Lady Olena Zelenska, during the reception for heads of state at Buckingham Palace after Charles was formally coronated as King.
DeSantis, a cancer survivor herself, is not known to have met Catherine, but gave the princess her sympathy.

‘From one mom to another, you’ve got this. If I can beat it, so can you. Have faith, stay strong, and fight like hell. We’re praying for you!,’ the Florida first lady wrote on X.
Casey DeSantis was diagnosised with breast cancer in October 2021 and underwent chemo. In March of the next year she was declared cancer free.
When husband Ron DeSantis was running for president, Casey spoke of how he supported her during five months of treatment, which included multiple rounds of chemo, radiation and surgery.
She also admitted she hadn’t told her three children of her diagnosis. Instead she told Madison, Mason and Mamie she had hurt her arm because she didn’t want them to know she had cancer.
Her children are younger than Catherine’s kids. Prince George is ten, Princess Charlotte is eight, and Prince Louis is five.
‘The hard part, for me, I had a four, three, and one-year-old in the house and it is like very, very difficult when you look at your children and they don’t know,’ DeSantis told Fox News last summer.
‘To this day, they still don’t know, they have no idea what mama went through. As a matter of fact, I went through six rounds of chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation and three surgeries. I couldn’t use my left arm. I told them I hurt my arm, because I didn’t want to tell them,’ she admitted.
Trump met Catherine in June 2019 when President Donald Trump was on a three-day state visit to the UK. She joined the royals for a dinner at Buckingham Palace. She also caught up with William and Kate in June 2023 at the wedding of the Jordanian crown prince.

‘Sending love and prayers to you and your family,’ the daughter of former President Donald Trump wrote underneath the Princess’s video, along with a dove emoji sandwiched between two white hearts.
Additionally on her Instagram story, Ivanka expanded her sympathies, writing: ‘I am deeply saddened to hear about Princess Kate’s diagnosis.
‘Amidst the trials she faces, she strength and grace continue to shine brightly. It’s disheartening to see the speculation that has surrounded her, particularly during a time when support and kindness are most needed.
‘During this challenging period, my thoughts and prayers are with Kate and her family. I hope for her swift and full recovery, and I look forward to seeing her continue to inspire and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
‘Let us all show our support by respecting her privacy and focusing on sending positive thoughts her way.’
Meanwhile, Lauren, who is founder of Black Ops Aviation, wrote simply, ‘Sending love,’ also with a white heart emoji.
The bombshell news comes just days after she was seen smiling with William as they left their favourite farm shop close to their Windsor home.
During her health battle, the Princess said her husband had been ‘a great source of comfort and reassurance.’
Speaking from a bench surrounded by daffodils and spring blossom, the future queen said: ‘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.
‘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. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.’
Catherine’s cancer was discovered only after she underwent major abdominal surgery at The London Clinic in January.
Kensington Palace has said it will not be sharing details of what kind of cancer the princess has, or what stage of cancer it is and has asked people not to speculate.
The King – who is also currently undergoing cancer treatment himself – and the Queen were both informed of the news.

In a statement tonight His Majesty said he is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did’ and remains in the ‘closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law.’
The King and Queen said they ‘will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.’
It is not known if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were told in advance of the 6pm announcement.
Harry, who once described Kate as the ‘big sister I never had’ and fondly called her ‘Cath’, is estranged from his brother and sister-in-law.
It remains to be seen whether he will fly back to the UK to see her.
