-- Princess Catherine is being treated for cancer, she said in a video statement, shedding light on a royal health crisis that has been the subject of intense media speculation in Britain and beyond.Catherine, the Princess of Wales and wife to the heir to the British throne, Prince William, said Friday that her scheduled abdominal surgery in January uncovered the presence of cancer.
The princess’s health scare led William to suspend some appearances, suddenly leaving three of Britain’s most senior royals out of the public eye. While King Charles has continued light royal duties, such as delivering a video message last week to mark the anniversary of the Commonwealth, it remains unclear when he might return to a fuller schedule.
Speculation about the princess’s health was amplified after Prince William failed to attend a Feb. 27 memorial service for his godfather, King Constantine of Greece. He was due to give a reading, but he withdrew less than an hour before the event. On Friday, she requested “time, space and privacy” while she receives medical care. She indicated that she might continue to keep a low profile, saying she would return “when I am able.”
