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.

      About 84% of UK Citizens hold an opinion on them, and 1 in 3 of them answered survey saying they are very important.

      Personally, I’m halfway across the earth from them but I still get a little giddy when one of them dies or is close to dying. When I was young I was ambivalent but the more I hear their opinions about the lesser people the more I see them as enemies of mankind.
