She’s part of a new royal family.
Cancer patients and survivors rallied around Kate Middleton Saturday to boost the princess with their love and support after she revealed her shock cancer diagnosis.
“We’re sisters for life,” Long Island breast cancer survivor Roseanne Simone told The Post.
Cancer “is life-altering, but it does not define us,” said Simone, 57, who beat the disease five years ago.
“I’m praying for her,” Simone said.
“It’s the least I can do, but it’s really the most I can do.”
An ocean away, the family of little Mila Sneddon was still gutted by the shocking announcement.
Kate bonded with Mila, then 5, in 2021, after including the girl’s photo in her book “Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020.”
“We are deeply saddened upon hearing the news,” Lynda Sneddon, Mila’s mother, posted on X Saturday.
“A kind caring soul who has always championed Mila both during and after her treatment.”
The heartbreaking picture showed the child, bald from chemotherapy as she battled leukemia, kissing her father through a window during their forced separation in the COVID-triggered national lockdown.
One year later, the princess treated Mila to high tea at Holyrood Palace — dressed all in pink, the little girl’s favorite color.
The royal family remained silent Saturday, making no public appearances or statements in the hours after the princess disclosed her plight.
But celebrities who have grappled with cancer rushed to boost her spirits as they bonded over their shared fight.
“To Princess Kate, I admire your strength thru the endless onslaught,” actress Shannen Doherty, who has stage 4 breast cancer and had surgery to remove a brain tumor in 2023, posted on Instagram.
Olivia Munn, who went public with her breast cancer diagnosis this month, praised Kate’s bravery.
The latest on Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis:
“Thank you for showing what it’s like to fight with grace and determination for yourself and for your family,” Munn wrote on Instagram.
“Wishing you all the best.”
Meanwhile, former “Baywatch” star Nicole Eggert, who is currently fighting breast cancer, told TMZ she will “pray for strength and send [Kate] healing.”
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is such a personal thing,” Eggert said.
“I think the public onslaught, yeah, it adds this horrific amount of pressure, and this is a time when she shouldn’t be feeling any pressure.”
Kate’s fight against cancer began long before she herself was diagnosed: she’s made it a focus of her charity work for years.
In 2010, she and Prince William chose the Teenage Cancer Trust Christmas Spectacular, a fundraiser in Norfolk, as their high-profile first public outing after announcing their engagement.
“Our thoughts are with Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and we wish her all the best for her treatment,” said Emma Greaves, the group’s deputy director.
Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis: Everything we know so far
In 2012, Kate selected East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice, which cares for children with terminal illnesses, as one of her first major charities, deeming it a “royal patronage.”
The group praised their “wonderful patron” on Facebook Saturday, lauding “the huge empathy and total compassion she has shown to so many children and families” there.
And in 2018, the then-duchess donated her own hair to make wigs for kids with cancer.
“It was sent using someone else’s name, so that the trust didn’t know it was from a royal source,” an insider said.
“It’s lovely to think somewhere a little girl is happily wearing a wig made from a real princess’s hair.”
