“this first overseas visit Catherine will make since being diagnosed with cancer more than two years ago”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states she was diagnosed 'more than two years ago'. However, the Wikipedia evidence explicitly states she was diagnosed with cancer in 'early 2024'. Given the trip is occurring in 2026 (as per other evidence), the diagnosis was approximately 2 years ago, but the specific timeline of 'more than two years' contradicts the 'early 2024' diagnosis date relative to the 2026 trip date.
