The Princess of Wales says she is in the early stages of treatment after cancer was found in tests.

In a video statement, Catherine says it was a "huge shock" after an "incredibly tough couple of months".

But she sent a positive message, saying: "I am well and getting stronger every day."

Details of the cancer have not been disclosed, but Kensington Palace says it is confident the princess will make a full recovery.

Hopefully the media will leave this poor woman alone! She is in my prayers.

I was just diagnosed two days ago… ovarian. I can’t tell you what your words of encouragement means. You too are not alone sweet lady ❤️‍🩹

When I was diagnosed with cancer, all I heard was the word "cancer". Everything after that was a blurr. Processing this kind of information is a process. Even now, 20 years later, I still get a knot in my stomach every time I look back on that fuzzy time. I pray that she will recover well and live to see her grandchildren grow up and marry.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer when my youngest child was only 19 months old. We were told that my life could be extended, but that I would eventually succumb to the disease. That little boy is about to be 15 and I have been cancer free for YEARS. May The Eternal swiftly and completely heal Her Royal Highness as He did me and allow her to see her children's children to the third and fourth generation. ❤

All those who have hounded her and made fun of her should make public

[aurorabas]

Despite her situation, she still remains so graceful and elegant, and she utilizes her own pain to think of others. It is no wonder that she is so well-loved. I wish Princess Catherine a swift recovery and privacy from the public.

Her description of preventive chemotherapy is actually a positive sign. I'm in the sixth year of preventive oral medication. Living life and grateful. Live long Katherine.

I am in tears. I lost my sister at that age to cancer. I myself had it. I hope she recovers, she a very sweet and lovely woman. Her kids need her and she must focus on her recovery. You too don't lose faith and you are not alone Kate.

[CATTAY]

The media should be ashamed on how they hounded her regarding her photos. Leave her and her family alone! A cancer diagnosis is a lot to process. She needs rest and support from her family. Wishing you well Catherine.

Shame on those who gaslighted her situation and the trolls who bullied her! Praying for your full recovery very soon Princess Catherine. We all love you! ❤

[synsrfem]

Brave and gracious in all ways. May your kindness be returned to you as comfort and strength in your battle, dear Princess.

[gwendolineknox]

A reason to be hopeful dear Catherine.😍 My mother suffered from stomach cancer in her 40s. Still dancing into her 80s, she died last year aged 96.

I have just started chemotherapy for cancer, and one of the things that happens is a need to withdraw, look after oneself and ones family. Putting her family and her self first, show what a tremendous person she is, resilient, focussed and compassionate. Love this woman.

[tasst]

This poor woman has been hounded by the media and trolls. Why can’t people let her alone? Let her heal. May she be blessed with a full recovery soon as she is very missed.

[ewuramalyle]

Dear Princess of Wales. We are praying for your full recovery. God bless you.

[giovanna]

Wish you a speedy recovery, lovely Princess. You are very much loved by all.

[nancysasso]

I can't help cry, she is so strong, her message so powerful. People leave her alone.

[amysutherland]

Will the press leave her alone now?! What more do you want this woman to do? Bless her and her family! From the United States.

[miramohamed]

As a cancer patient myself, may God give you strength to cope with the treatment

[redwoods]

Now the press will insist on knowing what type of cancer she has. Sickening that they won't let her heal in peace.
