Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been diagnosed with cancer and has begun chemotherapy, she announced in a video message on Friday, in which she described the past two months as “incredibly tough for our entire family.”

It comes after a period of intense uncertainty about the health of Catherine, who underwent abdominal surgery in January and largely disappeared from public view as she tried to recuperate.

Like the king, Catherine, 42, did not specify what kind of cancer she has, but asked the public and news media to respect her desire for privacy.

    most of lemmy talks of guillotining rich people, nature takes action and we are all up in arms. it’s just nature happening to one person. she gets special care in a country where the health system has been gutted. I can’t feel empathy

      exactly - I guess Lemmy users are just the same old Reddit users… I used to think we had a more logical bunch here but I guess not lol.
