People across the UK and around the world gathered to hear the announcement.
The princess is the third member of the royal family to be stricken with the disease. Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and Kate’s father-in-law, King Charles III, were also diagnosed with it recently.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak led messages of support for the princess from across the political spectrum and praised her “tremendous bravery” after her announcement, which followed weeks of mounting speculation and wild rumours in both the media and on social platforms about her ailment.
Members of the public have also been spotted gathering outside Kensington Palace, the official residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

One woman said the news was “incredibly sad”. “Whenever anybody gets cancer, it’s a horrible thing to hear and I can only imagine what her family’s going through right now.
“I hope they do everything they can for her and that she’s able to recover,” she said.
Members of the press have also gathered outside the palaces to provide updates for news channels across the world.
