00:04Kate Middleton has become a more powerful royal after battling cancer.

00:09Before revealing her condition, Kate Middleton was publicly criticized for being absent from

00:13certain events.

00:14After months of controversy and conspiracy theories spreading online, the Princess of

00:19Wales announced she had cancer.

00:22This is someone who stared down the abyss.

00:24She didn't just face a life-threatening illness.

00:26The global internet went after her.

00:28It was a character assassination, royal historian Amanda Foreman told People.

00:33She has that steeliness and that tremendous charm and that smile, Amanda Foreman continued.

00:38It's the combination of a willingness to show vulnerability, but at the same time not being

00:43vulnerable.

00:44Once Kate Middleton returned to the spotlight, her demeanor changed.

00:48She is in this confident phase where she is able to define who she is, what she does,

00:52and how much she does, Amanda Foreman said.
