Well, some extraordinary breaking news tonight from Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who in a very personal video, has revealed that she is having treatment now for cancer.

We don't know what type of cancer, but she says that at the start of a year, she had this abdominal surgery that we know about, and that in the process of that, they discovered that she had had some form of cancer.

They found cancerous cells.

And she's now embarking on chemotherapy, which she couldn't do until she'd recovered from the initial abdominal surgery.

She made a very personal statement in which she was very open, very frank, very courageous and very dignified, I thought,

also paid great tribute to her husband, Prince William, who, let's not forget, is going through

the double health heartache of his father, the King Charles III also having cancer.

So I'm joined by Sarah Houston, the Royal Editor for Talk TV. Sarah, a very

busy night for you, I think, from now on. But let's just talk about this remarkable statement.

We got wind of it about an hour before it happened, that it was being released, I think,

initially to the BBC. I was watching it live when it happened. And there was Kate, there was Catherine

the Princess of Wales in a garden setting on a bench, speaking directly to the world in a way

that I've never seen it before do this, or in fact, I can't remember many Royals ever doing this,

and being remarkably candid about what's been going on.

Yes, and this was a video that was filmed on Wednesday, Pears. I understand it was done in one take,

the Princess of Wales speaking directly to camera and addressing the public and giving the details

of her diagnosis, which as she, has come as a huge shock to

them. She talked about what an incredibly tough few months it has been for her and the whole family.

And she described the main focus for her and William, which has been about protecting their children, George,

Charlotte and Louis. And the reason why this video was released tonight is because the children

broke up from school earlier on this afternoon for their Easter holidays. And William and Kate

decided that they could then make this public in the knowledge that they could shield their children from it.
