Ivanka Trump and Lauren Sanchez 'send love' to Kate Middleton after Princess of Wales announces 'shock' cancer diagnosis

First lady Jill Biden, Casey DeSantis, Ivanka Trump and Lauren Sanchez are ‘sending love’ to Kate Middleton after the Princess of Wales announced her ‘shock’ cancer diagnosis.

The former first daughter, 42, and former TV personality, 54, showed their support for the royal, also 42, who delivered a powerful message, sharing the news on Friday that she was undergoing “preventive” chemotherapy .

In a deeply personal, unprecedented and emotional video message, filmed in Windsor, the princess revealed the news had come as a ‘tremendous shock’ and that she and husband Prince William ‘have done everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.’

The clip was shared across the couple’s social media accounts, and the princess has been inundated with messages of support, including those from Ivanka and Lauren, as well as the first lady.

“You are brave and we love you,” Biden wrote on X.

Biden and Trump have met with Catherine and have a personal connection.

The first lady met the princess for the first time in June 2021, when England hosted the annual G7 summit. The two women visited a local school to talk about early childhood education – a passion project for both of them.

Jill Biden has led the Biden Cancer Initiative with her husband, President Joe Biden, with the goal of ending cancer as we know it.

The disease is deeply personal for the Bidens. Their son, Beau Biden, died of brain cancer in 2015.

Jill Biden has had friends and one of her sisters battle breast cancer.

She and Catherine met during the G7 summit three years ago at a primary school in Cornwall. They played with the children and fed carrots to a giant rabbit in the school garden.

The two women were reunited in May 2023, along with Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska, during the Heads of State Reception at Buckingham Palace after Charles was formally crowned King.

DeSantis, a cancer survivor himself, is not known to have met Catherine, but gave the princess his sympathy.

“From one mother to another, you’ve got this. If I can beat it, so can you. Have faith, be strong, and fight like hell. We’re praying for you!” Florida’s first lady wrote on X.

Casey DeSantis was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2021 and underwent chemo. In March of the following year, she was declared cancer-free.

When husband Ron DeSantis ran for president, Casey talked about how he supported her during five months of treatment, which included multiple rounds of chemo, radiation and surgery.

She also admitted that she had not told her three children about her diagnosis. Instead she told Madison, Mason and Mamie, she had hurt her arm because she didn’t want them to know she had cancer.

Her children are younger than Catherine’s children. Prince George is ten, Princess Charlotte is eight and Prince Louis is five.

“The hard part, for me, I had a four-, three- and one-year-old in the house, and it’s very, very hard when you look at your kids and they don’t know,” DeSantis told Fox News last summer .

‘To this day they still don’t know, they have no idea what mum went through. In fact, I went through six rounds of chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation and three surgeries. I couldn’t use my left arm. I told them I hurt my arm because I didn’t want to tell them,’ she admitted.

Trump met Catherine in June 2019 when President Donald Trump was on a three-day state visit to the UK. She joined the royals for a dinner at Buckingham Palace. She also caught up with William and Kate in June 2023 at the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan.

“Sending love and prayers to you and your family,” the daughter of former President Donald Trump wrote under the princess’ video, along with a dove emoji sandwiched between two white hearts.

In addition, Ivanka extended her sympathy on her Instagram story, writing: ‘I am deeply saddened to hear about Princess Kate’s diagnosis.

In the midst of the trials she faces, she continues to shine brightly and in strength and grace. It is disheartening to see the speculation that has surrounded her, especially at a time when support and kindness is most needed.

‘During this challenging time, my thoughts and prayers are with Kate and her family. I hope for her speedy and full recovery and I look forward to seeing her continue to inspire and positively impact the lives of others.

‘Let’s all show our support by respecting her privacy and focusing on sending positive thoughts her way.’

Meanwhile, Lauren, who is the founder of Black Ops Aviation, wrote simply: ‘Sending love’, also with a white heart emoji.

The bombshell news comes just days after she was spotted smiling with William as they left their favorite farm shop close to their home in Windsor.

During her health battle, the princess said her husband had been “a great source of comfort and reassurance.”

From a bench surrounded by daffodils and spring flowers, the future queen said: ‘It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is suitable for them and to reassure them that I will be OK.

‘As I have told them; I feel good and get stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirit. Having William by my side is also a great source of comfort and reassurance. As well as the love, support and kindness shown by so many of you. It means so much to both of us.’

Catherine’s cancer was only discovered after she underwent major stomach surgery at the London Clinic in January.

Kensington Palace has said it will not share details about what type of cancer the princess has or what stage it is, and has asked people not to speculate.

The king – who is also currently undergoing cancer treatment himself – and the queen were both informed of the news.

In a statement tonight, His Majesty said he is ‘so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking out as she did’ and remains in ‘closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law’.

The King and Queen said they ‘will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.’

It is not known whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were told ahead of the 5pm announcement.

Harry, who once described Kate as the ‘big sister I never had’ and affectionately called her ‘Cath’, is estranged from his brother and sister-in-law.

It remains to be seen whether he will fly back to the UK to see her.
