Shortly before Kate Middleton made the announcement, the actress, 65, took to Instagram to ask people to stop theorizing about her and her whereabouts.
After the 42-year-old royal revealed on Friday that she has been absent from public duties because she is battling the disease, the Freaky Friday star sent his ‘best wishes to her and her family.
In his first post, Curtis wrote: ‘Can we please just STOP with this bull**** conspiracy theory? This is a human being with small children, and this is clearly some kind of health problem. It is a private matter’.
As Hollywood stars call for apologies to the princess, she added: ‘Don’t we have better things to do and more important things to think about and worry about than this? It’s a real low point in our society when there are SO MANY crucial issues that need our attention.’

“The operation was successful,” she explained. “However, there had been tests after the cancer operation.
‘Obviously this has come as a huge shock and William and I have done everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.’

The princess is now on what has been described as a ‘recovery pathway’ after starting a course of chemotherapy at the end of February.
