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.

    Remind me, was her saying she wants to be left alone before or after weeks of them saying “everything is fine and you’re crazy if you suggest otherwise” and releasing obviously fake pictures to try and convince people?

    I promise you, people would give a lot less of a shit if they had just said so from the beginning rather than lie and try to hide it. No one gives a shit that the King has cancer either.
