BREAKING NEWS : Catherine, Princess of Wales diagnosed with cancer

The 42-year-old royal revealed in a video message on Friday that she was in the early stages of treatment after an unspecified form of cancer was detected following her abdominal surgery in January. "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.
