The news comes after many weeks of speculation about the health of the 42-year-old future queen, who has not been seen on official duties since Christmas.
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.
'As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.' She described having her husband Prince William by her side as a 'great source of comfort and reassurance', adding: 'As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you - it means much to us both.
