Hoda and Jenna on Kate Middleton's cancer news: 'Such grace'
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager commend Kate Middleton for how the princess handled her public cancer announcement. “It isn’t our business to push somebody into saying anything, and she did it with such grace," Jenna says.

So glad this show did not ridicule the Wales family! 🇨🇦
"When cruelty is countered by grace, everything fell away" beautiful comment. Now it's our turn to show the royals compassion and grace.
She hasnt been Kate Middleton for years, thats her maiden name. She is Catherine Princess of Wales

Bravo to these two ladies. You really show the internet trolls what decent human beings should be.
The Princess of Wales needs our support and prayers - there is her husband and their three children to consider. These two presenters are very respectful, please forgive them for calling HRH by her name; Kate. Maybe, if some of the horrible media people saw her as a human being first - whose name is Kate, they wouldn’t have been too quick to be so harsh on the young woman. Just had a close person gone with cancer couple of weeks ago. Blessings to all.

Even her family calls her Catherine. And yes these two are very respectful.
Please can you all call her Catherine the Princess of Wales, she hasn’t been “Kate Middleton “ since her wedding day. Please for heaven’s sake get this right. I do applaud you both for not gossiping about this prior to the Princess of Wales announcement.
My goodness, her name is Catherine Wales, Princess of Wales. She’s been married over a decade, time to get her name right.
Praying for Princess Catherine, for healing.🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please remember, you, journalists, that her name is Catherine, she prefers to be called Catherine, not Kate. Catherine the Princess of Wales 💕💕

Thank you, Hoda and Jenna for your compassionate, eloquent, heartfelt words!! Love you guys!!
I agree, this is a lesson to all of us. 1. When someone went on leave and told you she/he will undergo a surgery, you don't make fun of them, shut your mouth and keep minding your own business. 2. If you're really concern, send a message privately. 3. And when they're back, ask them how they're doing, get on with your life and let them share it themselves.
Thank you, Jenna and Hoda! ♥️

Beautifully said ladies. My heart breaks for what the princess must have had to go through, dealing with this terrible illness whilst battling the daily abuse from vile trolls. I pray people would learn from her example and as you so eloquently put it, learn to ‘counter cruelty with grace’….this world would be a better place.
Beautiful words ladies xx 👍🏻
Stop calling her Kate she is Catherine Princess of Wales! She asks to be referred to this name over a decade ago!
Thank you, Hoda and Jenna Just to reassure you, Catherine's popularity remained high from the Palace announcement of her surgery to the present time. Also of interest is when the public was questioned about the amount of information given the largest majority felt they had been given enough. All of these facts are taken from YOUGOV polls and surveys done during that period. Unfortunately, journalists and the media didn't seem so interested in the facts as listening to the noise from social media. IMO and the facts would tend to support that we didn't lose trust in Catherine, her PR team or the Palace I think it's press that must behave more professionally.
You guys are two of the most thoughtful people to listen to.
Princess Catherine.
"She did it with such grace." Take a leaf from Princess Catherine's book and try to be gracious yourselves. I realize you are American, but that is no excuse. 1. The Princess of Wales has been married for over 11 years, and she requested at that time she be known as Catherine, not Kate. 2. Her title now is Catherine Princess of Wales, not "Princess Kate." 3. No need to pay me even though I am clearly head and shoulders above your writing/research team.

Hoda, why are you referring to her as Kate Middleton? They made it no secret that she likes to be called Catherine. Middleton is her maiden name. And why you make sure to call the other couple as Duke and Duchess of Sussex? That is incredibly unnerving.

I believe it's because PC was already known in the US media for many (8?) years as Kate, PW girlfriend. When Princess of Wales is mentioned, many Americans will still think it's Diana. So I am guessing they can only properly address her when her name becomes Queen Catherine.
Please use her proper title of Catherine, Princess of Wales. She has not been Kate Middleton since her marriage to William in 2011.

For the Princess of Wales to deal with her cancer diagnosis and all the evil speculation tells us all just what a fantastic person she is. Princess Catherine is Diana’s legacy. She is the Queen of hearts ♥️ 💖💕💓
Thank you ladies
What strikes me as well about Catherine’s actions in taking back control of this whole narrative, is that she must have insisted on filming that video alone. It demonstrates in a very positive way, that while she loves her husband, she doesn’t need to be’ protected by William any longer…..at least not in that way. I found that remarkable. She is now in her forties, and has grown immensely over the past 20 plus years. Shows how confident she is in making smart, intuitive decisions now. She should be very proud of herself.
I never saw the terrible things being posted. I just hope she’s ok 🙏🏼
Princess Kate has been the picture of grace and decorum, and her public announcement of her cancer proves that. I could feel her emotion and strength as I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013 and a a survivor. It is not the death sentence it was 50 years ago.
Her name is Catherine, Princess of Wales. Please do her respect by addressing her in the proper context.

Why , as a professioal news outlet, do you use a name that hasn't been hers for at least 10 years and is a trope used by people who do not like her and use it to denigrate her?
Beautifully done.

Kate is truly an exceptional human being. Although her time on Earth will likely be cut short by cancer, she has already accomplished far more than most people can do in 100 years. Her passing will not be in vain. Her spirit will be eternal and serve as inspiration for countless others long after her passing. Heaven is better than Earth. God will be proud of her. May God bless and protect her soul.
What’s wrong with you? Her name is Catherine princess of Wales! people call you by your names. Get her name correct or don’t even cover her at all!

Stop calling her Kate Middleton it is Princess Cathrine of Wales
Quit calling Princess Catherine, Kate! You and all of us are NOT her peers. She has been elevated to a "Princess" status, so use her title properly. HRH, Catherine, Princess of Wales. Jenna, how would you like us just referring to your Dad as plain old "George" instead of former President George W. Bush?
She is Princess Catherine!
Jenna is full of wisdom and I like how she addresses the Princess.
Princess Catherine is a remarkable woman who deserves privacy
Stop just stop it. She is Catherine Princess of Wales, pls use it! It’s ignorant not too, esp when she does not like Kate. Rude rude rude. Now move on, leave her alone and find something else to talk about
It really doesn't matter how she is referred to, as she is both. Yes, officially she is Catherine Princess of Wales, but also she is the Duchess of Cornwall as well as Duchess of Rothesay. However, she will always be also known as Kate Middleton because that's who she is. Some people seem to get offended as they think it's a sign of lack of respect. But that's where they are wrong! It's not for lack of respect, but quite the opposite actually, it's more familiar, friendly, warm and human to call her Kate. And it's shorter ;)
Please.....her name is not KATE MIDDLETON....She is Princess Catherine or Princess of Wales.....be respectful
I wish a recovery! God bless her!!!
Well said ladies! ❤ I don’t think she cares if she is called Kate or Catherine… that is the least of her worries 🙄
