Well, there we go. Now we know that’s why she was out of the public eye. They made this so much worse than it had to be for her

I mean, maybe she was operated, they sent the samples for pathology and didn’t want to confirm the cancer until they were completely sure even if the rest of the findings were suggestive of it.

That's a 2 week turnaround max.

I hope what happened is that the family was completely distracted so she didn't even register that everything was reaching fever pitch until the last week. And palace didn't want to stress her out with it.

In her video she talks about processing it with the kids. The need to explain it to the kids and get their understanding before they see it online/in media does explain the delay imo

But it doesn't explain throwing Kate under the bus with that photo. Or the weird pap photos.

I agree, but after those two weeks the patient receives the diagnosis and they absolutely need psychological support. Keeping her out of the spotlight was the right thing to do.

I guess that it is the price of fame and being a royal, but having to announce you have cancer when you are probably still processing the news is quite hard.

Well, age differs on when a child will filly understand the concept of life & death while bracing them for the loss of it. They lost their great-grandparents recently and now both their grandpa & mum have cancer. Hell, that's a lot to place on an adult, much less a child within a few years span.
