The legacy and credibility of the Princess of Wales is under scrutiny after a resurfaced article by a respected royal journalist about the royal's health issue announced the presence of pre-cancerous cells instead of cancer.

AceShowbiz - Kate Middleton is once again at the center of controversy after an article by a respected royal reporter about Kate's health issue re-emerged. Contrary to the widespread news about Kate's cancer diagnosis, Sky News correspondent Rhiannon Mills reported in September that the Princess of Wales had "pre-cancerous cells," instead of cancer.

According to Mayo Clinic, pre-cancerous cells and cancer are separate conditions. Pre-cancerous cells are "cells that have changes that increase the risk of" cancer.

The skepticism about her cancer diagnosis erupted following Kate's Festival of Remembrance appearance. The royal was accused of lying, with social media users alleging that she "played the sympathy card" to boost the Royal Family's popularity, which hit an all-time low following Queen Elizabeth's death due to the family's problematic past.

However, some other users defended Kate, arguing that "pre-cancerous cells can easily evolve into cancerous" cells.

Kensington Palace has remained tight-lipped in the face of this controversy. Middleton underwent abdominal surgery in January, announced her battle with cancer in March, and declared herself cancer-free in September.

"Tests after the operation found cancer had been present," she said when announcing her diagnosis. "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."

Medical experts have weighed in, with one doctor telling The Daily Beast, "You either have pre-cancerous cells or you have cancer, the two terms are not interchangeable." The statement sparked widespread debate and scrutiny, yet no correction has been issued by Sky News, partly due to Mills' longstanding credibility as a royal reporter.
