The Princess of Wales has announced tonight that she has been diagnosed with cancer aged 42 and is undergoing 'preventative' chemotherapy.
In a deeply emotional video message, filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine revealed the news had come as a 'huge shock' and that she and William 'have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family'.
It came days after she was seen smiling with Prince William as they left their favourite farm shop close to their Windsor home.

Not everything is the Vax.
No wish that she be OK, just jumping to the vaccine.
I’m just wondering whether Kate and/or Charles have been fully triple vaccinated?
They haven't been "inbred" as you put it since the 19th c. There have been what we would call outcrosses in the horse-and-dog world for at least 3 generations now. Unlike the Hapsburgs (who of course died out due to actual linebreeding - not inbreeding.)
As for "worship" - more silliness. They're an interesting historical family and have done a lot of good, much of it by stealth without sounding a trumpet before them in the marketplace a la St. Matthew. Other than my dad serving in the British Army by accident, our last ancestor left London in the 1800s, so no particular tie to them. But their job is hard work with very little privacy, and I respect them for that.
And their wealth is largely derived from inherited, non-royal sources (Duchy of Cornwall, etc.) and property owned outright. They have paid taxes on their income since I think the 1970s, when Queen Elizabeth II voluntarily began to do so. Unless you want to decree that all the wealthy in the country "turn over the wealth" -- in which case you're simply a communist and I don't know what you're doing here.
You from Rome? We are related to most every family that’s been there more than 50 years or so.
Exactly. There’s something to be said for an independent head of state that everyone can support. I think Geo. Washington originally envisioned the presidency in that way.
The presidency became too powerful. This wasn't supposed to happen.
I don't think Truthful George would be pleased.
All praise the royal monarchy. Grovel before them. /s
Man, you have got a serious bee in your bonnet. Did some Brit steal your girlfriend or something? Weird.
Sounds like it’s the way you live.
No I am not even alive, in the way you are.
