Kate, Princess of Wales, has revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
In a personal message, the 42-year-old said planned abdominal surgery in January was successful and it was initially thought her condition was non-cancerous.
But tests after the operation found cancer had been present, she said, adding: "This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family."
