Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with cancer and has begun chemotherapy. The Princess disclosed her diagnosis and commencement of chemotherapy in a pre-recorded video message shared on Friday, characterizing the preceding months as “incredibly tough for our entire family.”
Her announcement follows King Charles III’s declaration of his own cancer diagnosis and treatment in early February. The revelation emerges after a period marked by uncertainty regarding Catherine’s health, during which she underwent abdominal surgery in January and withdrew from public life to focus on recovery.
Although the specific type of cancer Princess Catherine is battling remains undisclosed, medical professionals emphasize the commonality of discovering cancer incidentally during unrelated medical procedures, as described in her public statement released on Friday.
