Nicole Eggert Sympathizes with Kate Middleton's Public Most cancers Journey

Nicole Eggert — who’s battling cancer herself — says she can sympathize with what Kate Middleton is now going through herself … telling us there’s a lot to juggle on this journey.

We talked to the actress Friday and she weighed in on Kate’s announcement — where she revealed she’d been diagnosed with cancer and was receiving preventative chemotherapy. Nicole, who has breast cancer, tells us there’s a lot she can relate to with her own diagnosis.

For starters, NE says there’s a lot of pressure having to weather this storm for public figures — and perhaps even doubly so for someone like Kate … who’s a senior Royal.

Nicole says the public should lend her some grace during this time and not scrutinize as much as they have been … because Kate will undoubtedly go through some changes in the near future, some of which she might not want to share with everyone despite the curiosity.
