Paddy Harverson, who was previously an official spokesman for Kate and the Prince of Wales, was asked on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuensberg program where responsibility for the pressure lay: social media or mainstream media.

“Well, it feeds on itself,” he said.

“It’s kind of a constant doom cycle. And it’s the worst I’ve ever seen.”

However, he said the royal family would still make the announcement in the same way, even without the pressure.

“I’m absolutely convinced that if we hadn’t had all this craziness and social media, if we hadn’t had the mistake in the Mother’s Day photo, they would still have done it this way,” he said of Kate’s video statement on Friday .

“They would still wait until the last Friday when schools let out to make the announcement.”

In a carefully choreographed look, Kate sat poised and graceful among the spring daffodils and shared her story. She told us it had been an “incredibly difficult few months” and that her cancer diagnosis had come as a “massive shock”. The princess spoke of being in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy treatment and reminded us of her ‘young family’, name-checking each of her children, and her ‘fantastic medical team’ before breaking off with an appeal to all those with cancer, “you are not alone,” she assured them.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly disclosed Kate’s medical condition to the public at the same time it was announced on television.

A source told the Times: “It is understood that Kate’s cancer diagnosis was not shared with Harry and Meghan in advance.

“Several sources confirm that no such conversations took place and Harry is believed to have learned of Kate’s diagnosis from television at the same time as the public.”

Shortly after the Princess of Wales announced she had started preventative chemotherapy, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said: “We wish Kate and the family good health and healing and hope they can do so privately and in peace.”

As the royal family faces a series of health problems, the close relationship between King Charles and his ‘beloved daughter-in-law’ has become increasingly apparent.

Charles is said to have driven to Windsor Castle to have lunch with Kate on Thursday, just a day before she announced she had been diagnosed with the disease.
