Jessie J may have "briefed not to" hug Princess Kate Middleton - but she decided to throw caution to the wind. "I just saw a mom that has also gone through cancer publicly and I just wanted to give her a hug," Jessie J, 37, shared in a Wednesday, December 3, appearance on This Morning. "It was as simple as that." Kate, 43 - who shares Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with husband Prince William - announced that she was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in March 2024. She revealed that she was in remission earlier this year.
