We are deeply saddened to learn that the Princess of Wales is being treated for cancer.
The announcement was made in a video the Princess released this evening.
Responding to the announcement, Sarcoma UK’s Director of Communications Kerry Reeves-Kneip lauded the Princess’ unwavering support for cancer charities over the years. She 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.”
