After weeks of speculation about her health and whereabouts, Princess Catherine revealed on Friday she has been battling cancer. Since the shocking news, the 42-year-old received a ton of sympathy and support from the public and other well-known figures. One who has an important connection? Olivia Munn.
The actress took to the comments section of the announcement post on Instagram to send her well-wishes and praise Kate amid her cancer battle. She wrote:

As for Catherine, we don’t know what form of cancer she has at this time. A source for Us Weekly says the royal family do not plan on “revealing what type of cancer it is.” What we do know is that when the Princess of Wales went in for a “major abdominal surgery” it was believed her condition was “noncancerous.” However, doctors later discovered she had, in fact, had cancer and is now being treated with preventative chemotherapy.
The family found out about a month ago — the same day Prince William canceled on attending his godfather King Constantine II of Greece’s memorial service. No wonder he backed out! Oof.
We are sending love and strength to both Olivia and Catherine amid their health battles. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.
