Princess of Wales has cancer

Terrible news for her family and her. Mother of 3 children

ruthless disease

i just think it's disgusting that poor woman had to divulge that. i dont care about status, tax payers money or any other bull. we are all entitled to privacy. i wish her well and a speedy recovery

Dont give a fcuk about Royals, but wouldnt wish cancer on anyone. Hope she makes a full recovery.

Cancer is a cnut.

Hopefully the media vultures will now leave her alone and give her and her family some space and privacy

I am guessing she wanted to hold off until the kids were finished for Easter possibly. The press (British press are absolutely horrendous) and Internet trolls should maybe take this as a sign to wise up. It's a shame she felt she had no choice but to do a video announcement.

Very sad, three wee kids as well, hopefully the treatment goes really well.

It goes to show that no matter who you are or how rich you are, cancer affects everyone. Tough to have 2 recently diagnosed in the one family.

Fergus Walsh of BBC News has reported on the News at 6 that it's not known what type of Cancer she has been diagnosed at the moment.

However she has been receiving her treatment of preventative chemotherapy since last month. Although the feelings among her having the illness has been very positive.

What a terrible time for Kate and her family. I thought Charles getting treatment for cancer was enough bad news for the Royal Family. However this story about Kate's health has been reverberating within the media for quite a while. It seems that one illness want to commit a double dose of misery seemingly without any questions asked about how this illness got to them so quickly in the 1st place.

Social Media has turned into a cesspit. Even within my own circles, some of the nonsense people were saying about her. I worry fake news is making people stupid. Wishing her a full recovery.

I know someone on the recovery of that - pretty horrible alight - the recovery time is actually quite long so I hope she’s left in peace to come back in her own time- regardless of the specifics

I wish her only happiness for the future.

If her speaking up, saves lives with symptoms etc., it is a good thing, she is a member of the Royal family so the media and others are going to speculate, sorry if my speculation bothers you

Regarding her privacy,the royals live their lives in the public eye- that's what they all sign up for.That's why Harry quit. I wish her well.

Yes, I agree. Heard Jenny Bond in an interview last week about the photoshopping story and she essential said, there's no conspiracy and people need to back off. Can't remember her exact words but struck me that she knew more than what was publicly reported. Equally, in the last couple days Piers Morgan has also been telling people to leave the conspiracies out.

It is disgraceful

Tbf it was moreso online trolls and dopey HarMeg conspiricists that were driving the conspiracies.

Oh fgs just let her recover in peace and stop with the nonsense conspiracies

Daffodil Day.

Hope the treatment is successful.

God love her. She spoke very well on the video clip. Couldn't have been easy. Wish her a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear that. Wish her the best in her recovery.

It must be a nightmare to have to update millions around the world on your health amidst massive news scrutiny, conspiracy theories etc.

Agree with all the sentiments above, what this also points to is all the rubbish posted online (I am aware of the irony) , but cowardly, stupid people having a go at people online with zero substance and engaging in personalised ad hominem attacks. Some of what I understand was going around was beyond the pale and so fantastical to be untrue. W e see it here in our political world and elsewhere. An old maxim I try to follow is … believe half what you see and none of what you hear …

I'd be more embarrassed for RTE. It's the top story on their news website at the moment.
