The Princess of Wales has revealed in an emotional video message that she is being treated for cancer.

In a video filmed by BBC Studios earlier this week, Kate opened up about her recent absence from public life.

Kate explained that tests after her abdominal surgery in January had discovered the presence of cancer. The Princess of Wales was put on a preventative course of chemotherapy in February, which coincided with Prince William pulling out of a memorial service for the late King Constantine of Greece.
