CATHERINE, PRINCESS OF WALES, has announced that she is suffering from cancer. The princess, who had major abdominal surgery in January, said in a video statement released on March 22nd that her condition had initially been thought to be non-cancerous; but that later tests found cancer had been present. She is now in the early stages of a course of preventative chemotherapy. She described the diagnosis as “a huge shock”.The question is not what this must mean for the princess. It requires little imagination to know what a mother with three young children must be feeling to be diagnosed with cancer at the age of 42. In her statement the princess said that she and her husband William, the Prince of Wales, had been doing all they could to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis, and to “reassure them that I am going to be OK”.
