Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with cancer and has begun chemotherapy, she announced in a video message on Friday, in which she described the past two months as “incredibly tough for our entire family.”

It comes after a period of intense uncertainty about the health of Catherine, who underwent abdominal surgery in January and largely disappeared from public view as she tried to recuperate.

Like the king, Catherine, 42, did not specify what kind of cancer she has, but asked the public and news media to respect her desire for privacy.

    Man, cancer will go for anyone. I hope she makes it through, especially for the sake of her children.

      Yeah, people can throw out hate for the royals, but I’m just thinking about her, as a person, mother and wife. She’s only in her early 40s and her kids are young.
