Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has announced that she's having treatment for cancer via a video message.

The Princess recently had a successful stomach operation in hospital.

However, in the checks afterwards, cancer was found to be present.

The Princess has been given chemotherapy to prevent the cancer from growing.

The unexpected news shocked tourist Amy Watson, from Australia.

The video ends weeks of discussion about the Princess' health, after reporters and the public were curious to know why she'd had the operation.

Hannah Dickerson, who's from the US, understands the difficulty with mixing their public and private lives.

Kate said the hospital news had been an enormous shock.

As a family, time was necessary to break the news to their three young children.

King Charles has spoken about how brave the Princess is to give her video message.

The whole royal family has faced a challenging year.

King Charles made an announcement in January that he was having treatment for cancer.

His brother Andrew's former wife Sarah, the Duchess of York, has also been having treatment - she has breast and skin cancer.

For the Princess of Wales, what she and her family need now is time, space and peace, so she's able to complete her treatment.
