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.

      No one should. Cancer is a boring, private thing. It’s a family matter.

        She’s even explicitly stated she wants to be left alone with her family to recover. I mean, fuck the lot of them, the leeches… But also, yknow, she’s human and suffering and just leave her alone for god’s sake.

      Apparently all the people saying she was dead and it was a body double at the shops.

      I suspect most of them work for The Sun.
