Princess Kate reveals she has cancer. Princess of Wales bravely announces she is battling disease and undergoing 'preventative chemotherapy' - but reassures nation 'I am going to be ok' in highly emotional and unprecedented video message.

Princess of Wales, Katherine Middleton, 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 Castle on Wednesday, Catherine Middleton revealed the news had come as a 'huge shock' and that she and Prince William 'have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family'.

It came days after Kate Middleton was seen smiling with Prince of Wales, Prince William, as they left their favorite farm shop close to their Windsor home, and she said her husband had been 'a great source of comfort and reassurance' during her cancer fight. Speaking from a bench surrounded by daffodils and spring blossom, Princess Katherine said: 'It has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.

Princess Catherine cancer was discovered only after she underwent major abdominal surgery at The London Clinic in January. Kensington Palace has said it will not be sharing details of what kind of cancer the princess has, or what stage of cancer it is and has asked people not to speculate.
