The Duchess of York has been diagnosed with skin cancer, has had several moles removed, been having reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy. The Duchess received the diagnosis just days after Christmas. Since then, she has spent time recuperating at the MAYRLIFE clinic, a medical spa in Austria.
The spokesman told The Telegraph that the Duchess was “very resilient” and determined to carry on, despite everything that had been thrown at her.
She is being treated by Dr Andrew Furness, consultant medical oncologist at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, and Catherine Borysiewicz, consultant dermatologist at the King Edward VII Hospital in London.
She is also said to have impressed ITV bosses after co-hosting and guest-editing an episode of This Morning where she appeared as an agony aunt, telling viewers she was there to answer any questions about “love and relationships and having hard times”. Very kind.
Speaking to two callers during the segment, she suggested they reignite their spark by spicing things up in the bedroom with some “lovely saucy underwear”.
Last month, she was permitted to join the Royal family on the traditional Christmas Day walk to church at Sandringham.
It was the first time in more than 30 years that the Duchess had been allowed to join the high-profile outing and was considered a clear sign that she had been welcomed back into the fold by the King.
The monarch, 75, is said to appreciate the loyalty she has shown to her ex-husband, the Duke of York, with whom she still lives at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
She continued to champion him throughout the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as he faced a civil lawsuit from victim Virginia Giuffre.
She's been very open about her health struggles.
It seem we're being nudged to feel closer to her and Andrew. Eww!
Her publicity office is in action.
Hopefully more people will see them as just human, be even kinder to the duke and instead divert any royal animosity westward to somewhere very warm.
