Princess of Wales cancer diagnosis: Catherine wanted to protect children from public reaction

The Princess of Wales has announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing the early stages of chemotherapy. In a 2-minute personal video filmed in Windsor on Wednesday, she revealed that the cancer was discovered through post-operative tests after her major abdominal surgery in January. She told the world that while the last few months have been incredibly tough for her and her family, she is going to be okay and is focused on making a full recovery. The cancer was identified during tests after her major surgery on January 16th, and she began her treatment of preventive chemotherapy in late February. Since then, she and Prince William have been focusing on sharing the news in a reassuring way to their three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. She said that they wanted to allow the family to process the huge shock in private. #princessofwales #royals #cancer Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special o
