Catherine, Princess of Wales, revealed Friday she has been diagnosed with cancer and is in the "early stages" of chemotherapy treatment.
The announcement, which the princess described as a "huge shock," came in a video message. Kate did not say what type of cancer she had been diagnosed with.
The news came two months after she had stepped away from public life temporarily following what Kensington Palace said at the time was surgery for a non-cancerous abdominal condition.
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” said Catherine, 42, who is married to the heir to the British throne, Prince William.
