No, Prince William did not say, ‘It’s over,’ about Princess Kate’s health
Kate Middleton, the princess of Wales, announced her cancer diagnosis in March. But her husband, William, prince of Wales and heir to the throne, has not made an announcement about her health since then, as social media posts suggest.
“Prince William announces heartbreak: ‘My wife, it’s over…’,” multiple Facebook posts said. The comment section of the posts contain links to blog posts that say William “said he hasn’t seen much of his wife lately due to her health issues, which has affected his life.”Another linked blog post says William discussed his family’s health at a charity fundraiser dinner. But none of the blog posts mention Prince William saying, “My wife, it’s over.”
This post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.)
Middleton said March 22 in a video message that she is undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.
Twice in May, William told people who have inquired about Kate’s health that she is “well.”
The Facebook posts include an image of William embracing his brother, Prince William. A reverse-image search led us to a 2023 Medium blog authored by someone who creates artificial intelligence images and who said he created the picture using the AI program Midjourney.
