A summary of today's developments

  • The Princess of Wales has disclosed she has been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer and is in the early stages of receiving chemotherapy treatment in a video message on Friday evening.

  • The Princess, 42, said that when she underwent major abdominal surgery in January, “it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous”.

  • The surgery, which took place at the London Clinic, was successful. After 13 nights in hospital, the princess left the clinic on 29 January. “However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” she said on Friday.

  • Kensington Palace said it would not be sharing any further medical information about the form or stage of cancer that was discovered.

  • The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have wished “health and healing” for the Princess of Wales. Harry and Meghan said they hoped Kate and her family were able to heal “privately”.

  • A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said King Charles is “so proud of Catherine (the Princess of Wales) for her courage in speaking as she did”. The statement said that after their time in hospital together, the king has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks”. It added that the king and queen “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time”. Charles is also receiving treatment for an undisclosed cancer, which was announced on 5 February.

  • The UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, said: “My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales, Prince of Wales, the royal family and in particular her three children at this difficult time” and that she has “the love and support of the whole country”, while criticising what he said was the “intense scrutiny” and unfair treatment of her by “certain sections of the media around the world and on social media”.

US First Lady Jill Biden has joined leaders from across the world in sharing her support for the Princess of Wales.

For the royal family, Catherine has been a dream princess. After the turbulent years of Diana and Sarah Ferguson, the royals were delighted when William became romantically involved with the nice, middle-class girl from the home counties when the pair were studying at St Andrews University.

Since then, there has been a fairytale wedding, three healthy children, and a princess to be proud of: calm, cheerful and devoted to her job as wife and mother to the future king and his siblings.

After her cancer diagnosis, made public on Friday, William, the children, her parents and her in-laws will be coming to terms with a serious health crisis and an uncertain future in the glare of global media coverage. No wonder she wanted privacy.

Catherine and William met in 2001 when she took part in a charity student fashion show that the prince attended. The following year, they shared a student flat with two others. At this point they were just friends.

Here is the remainder of Saturday’s front pages.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has praised the Princess of Wales for her “compassion and sense of service” in speaking out about her cancer diagnosis.

The Archbishop, in a post on X, said: “I join the whole country, and the world, in praying for her full recovery.

“I take this opportunity to praise her for her spirit of optimism in the face of such difficult news, and am pleased to hear that she is feeling stronger every day.

“Her bravery in sharing in this way and her continued commitment to supporting others speaks to her compassion and sense of service.

“Please join with me in praying for The Royal Family as they deal with this private matter and I would urge people to respect their privacy at this time.”

The Church of England also released “A prayer for HRH The Princess of Wales” in which hope was made for “her continued recovery” along with support for her family and “all who are affected by sickness”.

Messages of support for the Princess of Wales have poured in from all of Scotland’s major political parties after she announced she was receiving cancer treatment.

First Minister Humza Yousaf said: “My thoughts and prayers are with Catherine, The Princess of Wales, at what must be the most difficult and anxious of times for her, the Prince of Wales, their children, and of course Catherine’s family and friends, and the whole Royal Family.

“This news is all the sadder following His Majesty The King’s own recent cancer diagnosis, and I wish Her Royal Highness a speedy return to full health and a resumption of public duties at the time that is right for her.”

Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, said: “I join people across the world in sending my best wishes to Her Royal Highness for a full and speedy recovery, following her dignified and courageous statement.

“So many people will be able to relate to this situation because of their own experience with cancer, or that of a loved one.

“My thoughts are with the Duchess of Rothesay and the entire Royal Family as she begins her treatment.”

Anas Sarwar, leader of Scottish Labour, said Kate was “courageous” for posting the video statement.

On X, he wrote: “This is a courageous video from the Duchess of Rothesay.

“My thoughts are with her, her husband and children, and all of the Royal Family.

“We wish her a full and speedy recovery.”

Alex-Cole Hamilton, leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, wrote on X: “On behalf of the (Scottish Liberal Democrats) I’d like to wish the Princess of Wales all the very best on her journey to recovery following her diagnosis.

A spokesperson for the Scottish Green party wished the princess a quick recovery.

They said: “As with all those suffering from cancer, we would wish Catherine a speedy recovery.”

When the late queen stood up to give a speech marking 40 years on the throne, in June 1992, she conceded to the assembled dignitaries, and the watching nation, that her family had had an “annus horribilis”.

The phrase came to be remembered as an acknowledgment that even the staunchly dutiful monarch, who rarely betrayed emotion, had felt the cumulative effects of a series of blows.

Yet the past 12 months have surely been marked out as ranking among the most traumatic for the royal family in living memory.

In 1992, the revelations included the release of salacious details about the troubled private lives of Diana and Charles, the Prince and Princess of Wales; the separation of the queen’s son Prince Andrew, and the divorce of the queen’s daughter, Princess Anne; and the fire that had raged through Windsor Castle.

Here is a roundup of Saturday’s front pages starting with The Sun.

The Joe Biden White House has expressed sympathy and support to the Princess of Wales after her announcement that she is being treated for cancer.

Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, wished Catherine a full recovery at a Friday press briefing.

“All of us just heard the terrible news,” she said. “Our thoughts are with the Duchess of Cambridge and her family members and friends during this incredibly difficult time, and certainly we wish her a full recovery.”

Jean-Pierre said it was important for the public to respect the privacy of the royal family, a remark that came after rampant speculation – especially online – about what was behind the low profile Catherine had been keeping.

A statement from the sarcoma cancer charity, Sarcoma UK, following the news of the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis.

Sarcoma UK’s director of communications Kerry Reeves-Kneip said: “The princess has long been an outstanding supporter of cancer charities.

“We vividly remember when she donated her own hair for wigs for children undergoing chemotherapy. The fact that she herself is now undergoing chemotherapy is very sad, and our thoughts and good wishes are with her throughout this journey.

“Cancer makes no distinction, and we are saddened that two much-loved members of the Royal Family, who have both been outstanding supporters of cancer charities, are now being treated for this cruel disease.

“All of us at Sarcoma UK want to send our very best wishes to the Princess of Wales and hope that her treatment is successful and that she recovers soon.”

French president Emmanuel Macron has said the Princess of Wales’s “strength and resilience inspire us all”.

In a post on X, Macron wrote: “Your Highness,

“In this difficult period you are going through, Brigitte and I wish you a full recovery.

“Your strength and resilience inspire us all.”

Updated

The maternal uncle of the Princess of Wales said he hopes Kate’s cancer announcement “draws a line over the continued speculation and horrible conspiracies” after weeks of public speculation about her health.

Gary Goldsmith said in a statement on X: “Let’s give Kate, William and the children time and show some love back.”

Goldsmith, who was the first contestant evicted from ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother, also confirmed he had pulled out of his scheduled appearance in the live final on Friday evening.

Harry and Meghan wish princess 'health and healing'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have wished “health and healing” for the Princess of Wales.

Harry and Meghan said they hoped Kate and her family were able to heal “privately”.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” the couple said in a statement.

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has said his thoughts are with the Princess of Wales following the news of her cancer diagnosis which was “so courageously shared”.

More expert comment from Dr Mangesh Thorat, honorary reader, Queen Mary University of London and consultant breast surgeon, Homerton University hospital.

Dr Thorat said: “Surgery is the most curative form of treatment for early-stage cancers of solid organs. However, occasionally some cancer cells escape the organ of their origin and start residing in other organs such as lung or liver.

“Tests and scans currently available are unable to detect such microscopic spread and therefore to improve chances of cure, presumptive treatment of such likely spread is often undertaken even after the cancer in the solid organ of origin is completely removed.

Depending on the type of cancer, a range of drugs that can reach all organs of body where such spread might have occurred are used.

“Chemotherapy is one such type of treatment that uses drugs which particularly act on rapidly dividing cells, for example, cancer cells and kills such cells.

“As these drugs cannot distinguish between the cell types, they also end up killing many rapidly dividing normal cells in the body, for example, white blood cells or cells from the mucosal linings.

“It is this collateral damage that often leads to some of the side effects of chemotherapy, eg low blood counts with increased risk of infection or mucositis/mouth ulcers or diarrhoea.”

The Princess of Wales has announced she is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. She revealed the news in an emotional video message that was broadcast on Friday evening.

Here is the statement in full:

Former prime minister Boris Johnson has said he is wishing the Princess of Wales “all possible strength” for “a full and rapid recovery”.

Johnson wrote on X: “Wishing Catherine, The Princess of Wales all possible strength and sending good wishes to her and her family for a full and rapid recovery.”

Key event

James Middleton, younger brother of the Princess of Wales, said the family will rally around Kate.

In an Instagram post, alongside a picture of the two as children, he wrote: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”

Updated

Cancer Research UK’s chief executive, Michelle Mitchell, said the charity wishes Her Royal Highness a full, swift recovery and return to good health.

“During this difficult time, it’s important that the Princess is given the time and space to focus on her treatment and that we respect the family’s privacy.

“Nearly one in two of us will develop cancer during our lifetimes, but many more are affected when someone they love is diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to research there is hope – cancer survival has doubled in the last 50 years.

“High profile cancer cases often act as a prompt to encourage people to find out more or think about their own health. If people spot something that’s not normal for them or isn’t going away, they should check with their GP.

“It probably won’t be cancer. But, if it is, spotting it at an early stage means treatment is more likely to be successful.”

Updated

No edits were made to the Princess of Wales’s video message announcing her cancer diagnosis, it is understood.

The PA news agency understands BBC Studios made no edits to the recording, had no editorial input into the message and were not involved in the finished film’s distribution.

Friday evening’s video address to the nation follows days of speculation after a “manipulated” photo of the princess with her children was posted on social media.

The photograph was later withdrawn after international picture agencies did not use it because of suspicions it had been digitally altered.

In a statement, BBC Studios said: “BBC Studios filmed a message from the Princess of Wales at Windsor this week.

“We would like to wish Her Royal Highness a speedy recovery.”

A Q&A with Dr Shivan Sivakumar, associate professor in oncology, University of Birmingham

What is preventative chemotherapy?

“Unclear what this actually is. I presume it is what the medical profession call adjuvant chemotherapy. This is chemotherapy after an operation to prevent recurrence after an operation. This is to attempt to destroy any circulating cancer cells.”

Does age affect the success of chemotherapy and the survival rate from cancer?

“Ultimately it is the biology of your cancer and how you tolerate chemotherapy that determines its success. How you tolerate chemotherapy is determined by your performance status (known as your baseline health status). The younger you are, the more likely you are to tolerate chemotherapy well.”

Dr Sivakumar added: “There is an epidemic currently of young people getting cancer (under 50s). It is unknown the cause of this, but we are seeing more patients getting abdominal cancers.”

What is the general length of time of chemotherapy treatment?

“It really depends on the cancer, but adjuvant regimes are 3-6 months.”

What are the general side effects of chemotherapy?

“Fatigue, nausea, vomiting, sepsis, anaemia, constipation, diarrhoea are general side-effects.”

What is the recovery time after chemotherapy?

“The recovery time is usually a couple of weeks.”

Leading politicians in Northern Ireland have added their voices to the statements in support of the Princess of Wales. Sinn Féin’s first minister, Michelle O’Neill, wished Catherine a “speedy recovery”, and deputy first minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the DUP said the Princess of Wales will be “in the thoughts and prayers of so many across Northern Ireland”.

O’Neill said: “I am very sorry to hear the news of the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis. I send her my best wishes and the strength for her treatment, and a full and speedy recovery.”

In her post on social media she added: “A special word of thought to her young family at this challenging time.”

Little-Pengelly wrote on social media:

Sending heartfelt best wishes and love from so many in Northern Ireland to the Princess of Wales. May God bless her and support her and the family through this difficult time. I know the Princess will be kept in the thoughts and prayers of so many across Northern Ireland.

O’Neill and Little-Pengelly met Queen Camilla on Thursday in an event at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland to mark World Poetry Day.

Andrew Gregory is the Guardian’s health editor

The head of the NHS in England has described the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis as a shock and praised her for speaking out publicly about the condition.

NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard said: “On behalf of the NHS, I’m really sorry to hear this shocking news.

“Our thoughts are with the Princess of Wales and the royal family, especially while her treatment continues. We know how difficult a diagnosis and treatment journey can be for patients and their families.”

Pritchard added: “Speaking out about it is really brave and it can help others to get worrying signs and symptoms checked. If you’re worried about cancer, the NHS website has more information here.”

Heather Stewart has written this analysis piece for us, looking at how the series of health announcements from the royal family echoes 1992, when the late Queen Elizabeth II said that her family had had an “annus horribilis”. Here is an excerpt:

The past 12 months have surely been marked out as ranking among the most traumatic for the royal family in living memory.

A furore about the manipulation of a picture of Catherine with her children, which set social media aflame with outlandish conspiracy theories, followed weeks of speculation about the much-loved princess’s health. Catherine’s admission to hospital was announced in January, on the same day as King Charles III’s own diagnosis with an unspecified cancer.

The lack of detail about either’s condition, and the royal family’s silence during the ensuing weeks and then months, fed a sense that the public had not been told the whole story.

Charles had only recently led mourners at his mother’s funeral, and family tensions and troubles were evident even at the time. Prince Andrew did not wear military uniform as he walked behind his mother’s coffin, after having been stripped of his royal duties in the wake of claims of sexual abuse made in a US court case, which the prince has always denied.

Harry returned for the funeral of his beloved grandmother; but his presence only served to underline his semi-detached status. And Charles has barely had time to establish himself as reigning monarch, the post he had waited his life to occupy, before his own diagnosis forced him to reduce his public duties.

The news of the Princess of Wales announcing she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy comes at the same time that her father-in-law King Charles III is also receiving treatment for cancer. His diagnosis was announced on 5 February. At the time a statement from Buckingham Palace said:

During the king’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer. His majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

The announcement that Catherine was recovering from planned abdominal surgery was made on 17 January, the same day that it was announced Charles was to be treated for an enlarged prostate.

The Guardian’s health editor, Andrew Gregory, has written this explainer on what we know about the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis. He writes:

The Princess of Wales, 42, has been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer. Kensington Palace said it would not be sharing any further medical information about the form or stage of cancer that was discovered.

In her personal message, the princess said her medical team advised that she should undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is a treatment in which medicine is used to kill cancer cells. There are many different types of chemotherapy medicine but they all work in a similar way. They stop cancer cells reproducing, which prevents them from growing and spreading in the body.

Catherine said on Friday she is now “in the early stages” of the treatment. The Guardian understands that Catherine began a course of preventive chemotherapy in late February. She is still in the early stages, and the decision on when it might be completed will be subject to medical advice.

Other political leaders in the UK to have commented on the announcement that the Princess of Wales is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer include the leaders of the Scottish National party, the Liberal Democrats, the Labour mayor of London and former prime minister Liz Truss.

The SNP’s Westminster leader, Stephen Flynn, said he had “no doubt” that the Princess of Wales’s words will be “of comfort and support to others” facing a battle against cancer, posting to social media:

We all know the suffering and distress that a cancer diagnosis brings to individuals, their families and friends. I wish Kate well in her battle, and have no doubt that her words will be of comfort and support to others facing their own.

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said:

On behalf of Londoners, I wish the Princess of Wales a swift recovery as she undergoes treatment. My thoughts are with her and her family. Cancer has an impact on so many of us and her bravery in sharing her diagnosis will help raise awareness and encourage others to get checked.

Former prime minister Liz Truss said “My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales and her family at this very difficult time” and that “the entire country will be wishing her a full and speedy recovery.”

The Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey, described it as “sad news”, calling for Catherine and her family to be given “space and privacy at this difficult time”.

Keir Starmer sends 'very best wishes' to the princess

The opposition Labour leader in the UK has said that on behalf of his party he wanted to send his “very best wishes to her royal highness at this distressing time.”

He added “Our thoughts are with the whole royal family as they come to terms with the news and as they support the Princess of Wales through her treatment and recovery.”

The Labour leader also criticised “lurid speculation” about the health of Catherine in recent weeks.

In his statement, Starmer said:

On behalf of the whole Labour party, I want to send my very best wishes to Her Royal Highness at this distressing time. Our thoughts are with the whole royal family as they come to terms with the news and as they support The Princess of Wales through her treatment and recovery.

Any cancer diagnosis is shocking. But I can only imagine the added stress of receiving that news amid the lurid speculation we’ve seen in recent weeks.

Their royal highnesses are entitled to privacy and, like any parents, will have waited to choose the right moment to tell their children.

I am heartened by the Princess of Wales’ optimistic tone and her message of faith and hope. Her royal highness will be in our thoughts and prayers as she progresses through her treatment with the love and support of not just her whole family, but the whole nation too.

Rishi Sunak calls for privacy for Princess of Wales and criticises 'intense scrutiny'

The UK prime minister has said: “My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales, Prince of Wales, the royal family and in particular her three children at this difficult time” and that she has “the love and support of the whole country”, while criticising what he said was the “intense scrutiny” and unfair treatment of her by “certain sections of the media around the world and on social media”.

Rishi Sunak said in a message posted to social media:

My thoughts are with the Princess of Wales, Prince of Wales, the royal family and in particular her three children at this difficult time. The Princess of Wales has the love and support of the whole country as she continues her recovery.

She has shown tremendous bravery with her statement today. In recent weeks she has been subjected to intense scrutiny and has been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social media.

When it comes to matters of health, like everyone else, she must be afforded the privacy to focus on her treatment and be with her loving family.

I know I speak for the whole country in wishing her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her back in action when she’s ready.

Full statement by Princess of Wales announcing she is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer

Here is the full text of the video statement given by the Princess of Wales announcing that she is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer, in which she appealed for others with cancer not to lose hope:

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery.

It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.

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 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.

It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.

As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.

Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too.

As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both. We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.

My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery.

At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.

Princess of Wales receiving chemotherapy treatment for cancer

The Princess of Wales has disclosed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is in the early stages of receiving chemotherapy treatment.

In a statement recorded at Windsor by the BBC, Catherine said her condition had been discovered after she had major abdominal surgery in January.

After weeks of speculation about her health, Catherine said she and her husband, Prince William, had needed time to explain the situation to their three children, George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five.

“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,” she said. “As you can imagine, this has taken time.

The Princess of Wales, 42, had been admitted to the London Clinic on 16 January for major abdominal surgery. At the time, the palace refused to confirm what Catherine was being treated for, but said the condition was non-cancerous.

Catherine said it was only after the surgery that the cancer had been found.
