Duchess of York Expresses Admiration for Princess of Wales Following Cancer Announcement

The Duchess of York has expressed her "deep admiration" for the Princess of Wales after learning about her cancer diagnosis.

The Duchess, aged 64, who fought breast cancer and skin cancer in recent months, extended her thoughts and prayers to the Princess as she embarks on her treatment journey.

She commended the Princess for openly discussing her diagnosis, believing it will raise awareness and offer comfort to others facing similar challenges.

The Duchess emphasized the importance of granting the Princess privacy and time to recover, surrounded by her loved ones.

Despite the health setbacks, she remains resilient and determined to move forward.

The Duchess is currently under regular medical monitoring to ensure no cancer recurrence.

In January, she disclosed her melanoma diagnosis, expressing gratitude for the medical attention that detected it early.
