Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has announced that she is undergoing preventive chemotherapy after successful abdominal surgery during which she was diagnosed with cancer.
“The surgery was successful, however, post-surgery tests revealed that the cancer was present. My medical team therefore advised me to undergo preventive chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of treatment,” the princess said in a video statement.
