Jessica Yellin Instagram – PRINCESS OF WALES ANNOUNCES CANCER Catherine, Princess of Wales announced today she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. She explained her January abdominal surgery treated an issue initially believed to be noncancerous, but tests after the surgery revealed “cancer was present” in removed tissue. She said she’s now in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy to keep the cancer from returning. The Princess asked the public to respect her family’s privacy at this time as she continues to recover, and that she looks forward to returning to public work when she is better. She is not expected to appear publicly for Easter or anytime soon. King Charles also has cancer, announced in early February. He has continued appearing publicly since revealing his condition, though has suspended certain public duties.
