Tonight, the Princess of Wales shared in a heartfelt video message that at the age of 42, she has received a cancer diagnosis and is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy. Filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine expressed the immense shock of this news, emphasizing that she and William have been diligently navigating this situation privately, prioritizing their young family’s well-being.

Seated amidst daffodils and blossoming spring trees, she spoke earnestly, «This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.»
«As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits. Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance, too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.»

During her January abdominal surgery, Kensington Palace initially stated it was non-cancerous. They reiterated tonight that no tests had indicated cancer. However, subsequent post-operative tests revealed its presence. This evening’s revelation will undoubtedly reverberate globally, following weeks of speculation and unfounded conjecture about her health. It presents a new challenge for the British Royal Family, coinciding with King Charles’s own cancer battle.
The princess is currently following a recovery plan, having begun chemotherapy in late February. Consequently, Prince William withdrew from a memorial service honoring his late godfather, King Constantine of Greece. Kensington Palace has emphasized against speculation regarding the type of cancer.

In her video statement, the Princess appeared casually attired in a striped Breton top paired with jeans. She said: «I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.»
«In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and, at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.»
«We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.»

Even amid her personal turmoil, she had a message of hope for others battling cancer. She went on, saying, «At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.»
We extend our well-wishes for a swift recovery to Catherine, Princess of Wales. Recently, the princess was seen in public for the first time since her surgery, accompanied by her mother. View her photo here.
Only boys understand
Technology has become an inseparable part of our daily lives, but for boys, a computer isn’t just a tool—it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s for work or entertainment, one thing remains constant: the computer setup stays the same, but the purpose changes dramatically. This subtle yet hilarious reality is something only boys truly understand.
The Dual Life of a Computer Setup
At first glance, a desk with a computer might seem like just another workspace. But for guys, the same setup serves two very different purposes:
- During Work Hours – The computer is a productivity powerhouse, running spreadsheets, emails, and video conferences.
- When Home Alone – That same machine transforms into a gaming station, movie theater, or a deep-dive research center for the most random internet searches.
It’s not just about using the computer—it’s about how the setup evolves depending on the situation.
Work Mode: The Serious Setup
When it’s time to work, everything feels structured and optimized for productivity.
- The mouse stays on the right side – Perfectly positioned for efficient clicking.
- Screens filled with work tabs – Spreadsheets, emails, and task lists dominate the display.
- Minimal distractions – Noise-canceling headphones on, focus mode activated.
- Professional posture – Sitting straight, keyboard at the perfect angle.
In this state, the computer is a workhorse, designed to tackle deadlines, meetings, and professional tasks.

Home Alone Mode: The Ultimate Comfort Zone
As soon as work ends and no one’s around, everything shifts. The computer, once a tool for productivity, now becomes an all-in-one entertainment system.
- The mouse switches sides – Because now, everything happens at a relaxed pace.
- Tabs full of games, movies, and YouTube videos – Researching something serious? Maybe. But probably not.
- Relaxed posture – Leaning back, feet on the desk, one hand on the mouse, the other on snacks.
- Speakers blasting – No need for headphones, the room becomes a personal theater.
This transition happens almost instinctively. One moment, you’re handling work calls; the next, you’re watching an obscure documentary about ancient civilizations at 3 AM.
Why This Duality Exists
There’s a reason why guys naturally shift between these two modes:
- Work requires discipline – Efficiency is key, and distractions are minimized.
- Home is all about comfort – The brain switches gears to relaxation, and everything from posture to mouse position changes.
- Multitasking at its finest – Who says you can’t binge-watch a series while playing an online game?
The Unspoken Rules of the Setup
Video : Memes Only boys understand
Every guy who owns a computer setup follows an unspoken code:
- Never let anyone mess with your settings – Once the mouse sensitivity is perfect, it should never change.
- The workspace should remain untouched – Even if it looks messy, there’s a system in place.
- One screen is never enough – Work mode needs efficiency, and home mode needs immersion.
- Gaming peripherals double as work tools – A mechanical keyboard isn’t just for gaming—it makes typing emails more satisfying.
The Mouse Switching Phenomenon
Perhaps the funniest part of this reality is the simple act of switching the mouse’s position. When working, it stays on one side. When watching movies, leaning back, or casually browsing, it moves to the other.
This tiny, almost subconscious habit is something only guys truly understand.
Conclusion: The Secret Life of a Computer Setup
To the outside world, a computer is just a machine. But for guys, it’s a dynamic, ever-changing space that adapts to the moment. Work or play, the setup remains the same, but the experience transforms entirely.
So if you ever catch yourself switching the mouse’s position without thinking twice—congratulations. You’re officially part of the club that only boys understand.
