His touching message came just hours after Kate said her diagnosis had come as a "huge shock" - but she vowed: "I am well and getting stronger every day".
Kate told the public she was receiving cancer treatment in a poignant video message released at 6pm GMT on Friday.
In her address, she thanked her medical team who found the cancer following her "major" abdominal surgery in January.
She also thanked her husband Prince William for his support.
Kate said her children; George, 10, Charlotte, 8, and five-year-old Louis, are aware, assuring them she is going to be "OK".
The royal also said that initially, what was discovered after her surgery was deemed "non-cancerous", but added that post-op tests found cancer had been present.
She said: "My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.
"This of course came as a huge shock.
"William and I have been doing everything I can to process this privately for the sake of our young family.
"As you can imagine this has taken time. It has taken time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment."

A Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed Kate started a course of preventative chemotherapy late last month and is now on a "recovery pathway".
She is the second person in the Royal Family to be diagnosed with cancer in 2024, after King Charles revealed he was also undergoing treatment in February.
The King spoke in support of his daughter-in-law on Friday, revealing he is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did” and remains in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law."
He was joined by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who released a short statement after news came out.
The pair said: "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."
Kate's brother James Middleton also vowed to stick by his sister's, sharing a happy photo of them together on Instagram.
"Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too," he wrote.
Kate said she and her family now needs "time, space and privacy" while she undergoes her treatment.
She will not be returning to public duties for the foreseeable future.
The princess said: "My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.
"At this time I am also thinking of all those lives affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease in whatever form please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone."
