According to Xinhua News Agency, Princess Kate was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024, and her health became the focus of global attention. Although she publicly stated in January 2025 that she had "phasely defeated cancer" and resumed some public activities, such as attending charity events and Wimbledon tennis, the royal family did not seem to be relaxed.

However, this was not because her condition suddenly worsened, but because of the usual cautious operation of the royal family, preparing emergency plans for the death of senior members in advance.
Recently, the British royal family has prepared a detailed funeral plan for Princess Kate, and even the name is named "Operation Reading Bridge", which is the birthplace of Princess Kate, Reading, Berkshire, England.
