Duchess Kate has stopped talking about cancer
Duchess Kate's interlocutors were 73-year-old Karen McLean from North Lincolnshire, who has been battling cancer for 20 years. The woman later told The Telegraph that she had a “little chat” with the duchess about cancer. The Briton said in an interview with the newspaper that “considering what she's been through, the Duchess looked pretty good.” The 73-year-old considered it a “privilege” to be able to share experiences with the wife of the heir to the throne and hug her.
Nicola Halligan and Laura Mather from Warrington also had the chance to speak to the Duchess. The women decided to come to Sandringham because of their grandmother, who died of cancer in May and was a huge fan of the royal family. The women came to the church around 5 o'clock. They gave the team a bunch of flowers.

Nicola Halligan described her meeting with the duchess and described Kate as a “role model for people” in Britain. – (Kate) doesn't give up and is very positive, said the 45-year-old man. – (The prince and the king) are like us. Cancer can happen to anyone, the Telegraph interviewer added.
Wednesday's service at Sandringham was one of the last few opportunities to see Duchess Kate. The wife of the heir to the British throne finished treatment in September of this year. However, she stressed that her road to full recovery will still be long. The Duchess has since made a surprise visit to Southport, where a knife attack took place in the summer, and attended the Festival of Remembrance. He also received, among others: the official reception of the emir of Qatar and appeared at a Christmas carol concert. News of the Duchess's illness broke in the media in March.
