The Princess of Wales has been diagnosed with cancer, she has announced, in a personal video message to reassure the world: “I am going to be ok.”

The Princess is undergoing a course of preventive chemotherapy and has said she is focused on making a “full recovery”.

The cancer was identified during tests after her abdominal surgery on January 16, and she began treatment in late February.

Since then, she and the Prince have been focusing on sharing the news with their three young children and allowing the close-knit family to process it in private.

She has now chosen to share the news in a video filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, in which she has thanked the public for its support and shared her “huge shock” at the news.
