Kensington Palace has issued thank you cards to kind-hearted members of the public who sent their well wishes to Kate Middleton as she undergoes chemotherapy.The Princess of Wales, 42, revealed in a heartfelt video message at the end of March that she is in the early stages of treatment following a cancer diagnosis.

In the video, the future Queen described the past few months as 'incredibly tough' for her family but reassured everyone that she was 'well and getting stronger every day'.

Since the public became aware of Kate's health battle, other working royals have been handed cards and notes from well-wishers to pass on to her.

Royal fans have also sent their messages directly to the Palace. One woman was delighted to receive a letter from the Palace on Saturday, April 6, after she had sent a card to Kate, wishing her well upon hearing about her abdominal surgery in January.The brief note, printed on official Palace stationery, read: "Thank you for your kind well wishes to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. "Your thoughtful gesture is very much appreciated." The Palace typically sends out cards in response to correspondence from Royal fans during special occasions like birthdays and Christmas.
