Princess of Wales announces that she has cancer in a video recorded at Kensington Palace. Kate has revealed that the abdominal surgery she underwent in January did not have the expected results.

"It's been an incredibly difficult couple of months for our entire family," says the princess. Kate's characteristic restraint and 'never explain' were taking too long, says journalist Jennifer Weiner, who adds that what has happened leaves Prince William in the background, which, she adds, could be something premeditated.
