But she revealed that later tests showed that cancer had been found and has since been advised to follow preventative chemotherapy.
The royal didn’t disclose what type of cancer she has but said she is “well and getting stronger every day”.
Now a royal commentator has commented on Princess Kate’s brave announcement and labelled her “a bright light in an often troubling world”.
US-based journalist Lee Cohen exclusively told Express.co.uk: “All of our thoughts and good wishes should be focused in our hearts and prayers on the Princess of Wales.
“We in America pray for her full and speedy recovery.
“She is beautiful and courageous and a bright light in an often troubling world.”
Talking about whether it’s important that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should have sent a message of support to the duke’s sister-in-law, Mr Cohen commented: “This is surely not a moment for anyone to seek notoriety.
“Let’s see who has the grace to comply.”
Harry and Meghan have been estranged from the Royal Family ever since they quit their royal duties and moved to the US back in 2020.
The pair are understood to “not be on speaking terms” with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
