Revealing her diagnosis in an emotional video message, the Princess said: “I am well and getting stronger every day.”

She added: “In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.

“The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.

This is a live breaking incident. Follow here for updates.

“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time.”

The Princess was admitted to the London Clinic in January for abdominal surgery.
