The Duchess of York has been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer, after undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Her spokesperson stated that several moles were removed and analyzed during reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy. The duchess remains positive despite the recent diagnosis, and she is undergoing further tests to ensure early detection. She expressed gratitude towards her medical team, particularly her dermatologist, and emphasized the importance of monitoring moles for signs of melanoma. The statement also thanked the private medical team that supported her during treatment. Last June, the duchess confirmed her diagnosis of breast cancer and underwent a single mastectomy. She continues to share a home with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, and they have two daughters and three grandchildren. The duchess was last seen in public on Christmas Day. In other royal news, the Princess of Wales will remain in the hospital for two weeks after surgery, and the King will undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate.
