Catherine, Princess of Wales, has sent thank you notes for the well-wishes she has received since she announced she was receiving cancer treatment.
The 41-year-old royal announced in a video message last month that she was undergoing chemotherapy after the disease was detected following her major abdominal surgery in January, and now members of the public have begun receiving notes expressing gratitude for their “thoughtful gestures”.
A note obtained by Hello! magazine showed the short message is on Kensington Palace-headed paper and read: “Thank you for your kind well wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. Your thoughtful gesture is very much appreciated.”
But in a break with royal tradition, no photograph accompanied the note, which was instead left blank on one side.
