Princess of Wales (Kate): just revealed that cancer was discovered when she was in hospital for abdominal surgery. She is undergoing chemo at present. Source: The Independent.

In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. 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. - Kate Middleton.

As you might expect, the news of Kate Middleton having cancer is all over the news media websites today. She says that she is going to be okay and tells us in an emotional video of major surgery and chemotherapy. The King talks of her as his "beloved daughter in law".

The Princess of Wales is undergoing treatment for cancer. She said: "I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirit."

We don't know what type of cancer it is. The King said that he was "so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did".

Rishi Sunak led politicians in support of the Princess saying that she had "shown tremendous bravery" and he wished her a speedy recovery.
