The Princess of Wales has said she is receiving preventative chemotherapy after King Charles and Sarah Ferguson were diagnosed with forms of the disease earlier this year.
Buckingham Palace announced in early February that the King had been diagnosed with a form of cancer following a hospital procedure for an enlarged prostate.No details of the type of cancer were shared by the palace, however, they said that the King wanted to share the diagnosis to "prevent speculation" and "assist public understanding".
Kate has stayed out of the public eye since, although a flurry of online speculation about the princess has recently developed online. In a shock announcement from the Princess of Wales on Friday evening, Kate said that her operation revealed cancer had been present. She said that her surgery in January was for what was thought at the time to be a non-cancerous condition. However, tests carried out after the successful operation found that cancer had been present.
