Princess Undergoing Chemotherapy Treatment After Cancer Discovery, Confident in Full Recovery, Kensington Palace Confirms

Details of the cancer have not been disclosed, but Kensington Palace says it is confident the princess will make a full recovery.

The princess’s statement explains that when she had abdominal surgery in January, it was not known that there was any cancer.

“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,” said the princess.

She said she was thinking of all those who have been affected by cancer, adding: “For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”

Catherine said recovery from her surgery in January, for a condition which has not been revealed, had taken time and the priority was now reassuring her family.
