The video in which Princess Kate – or more accurately, the Princess of Wales – announced that she was undergoing cancer treatment was officially posted online at 6pm on Friday, March 22. Is there a reason Kate chose to post the announcement at this precise moment?
The British Royal Family is at an unprecedented stage. Both King Charles III and the Princess of Wales (we know her as Princess Kate ) shared that they were undergoing treatment.
In addition, announcing with a video like Princess Kate is also a first. Previously, personal matters, especially related to the health of members of the Royal Family, were traditionally communicated in writing from the Palace.

The video of Kate announcing her illness was posted at exactly 6pm on Friday, March 22. The fact that Kate – or Kensington Palace – chose the time at 6pm was to coincide with the BBC ‘s 6pm News , and news channels and major newspapers were also notified in advance to prepare.
6pm was also the time when the announcement that King Charles III had to be treated was made. The British Royal Family often chooses the time to make major announcements to coincide with the start of news reports or the release of major newspapers. The fact that Kate’s video was posted at 6pm shows that the British Royal Family considers this to be very important information.

Town and Country magazine also said that the BBC recorded a video of Kate’s announcement on Wednesday night at Windsor Castle, 2 days before posting the announcement. This shows that the British Royal Family does not react hastily to rumors surrounding Kate’s health (after things like photos being edited, or William – Kate going shopping at the agricultural store) but still considers it. carefully about the most appropriate time to make the announcement.

In fact, normally the British Royal Family rarely makes important announcements on Friday nights, but this time there is a reason, it is William – Kate’s children (Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis ) finishes school on Friday and will begin the Easter break.
Thus, William and Kate will have private time to talk to their children, avoiding their children being surprised by the reactions of many people around them when the news spreads around the world. Because, as both William and Kate have said, their children are and always will be their number one priority.
