'We are concerned and worried about her deeply, we know she lives her life publicly and to many she is fair game, but as a family we hope she can find her path privately moving forward during this very difficult period in her life.'
'We are not asking for sympathy - just that it is recognised that Kate is unwell,' they wrote.
