This has been the worst week in memory when it comes to the health of the members of the royal family (or those who at least at one time were members of the royal family). After the Princess of Wales’ office at Kensington Palace announced she had planned abdominal surgery this week—and would be off of royal duties until at least April—Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles would be hospitalized in the coming days to treat a benign enlarged prostate. Now it seems the phrase “things come in threes” is true: Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been diagnosed with skin cancer, it was announced today.
“Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York, has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma,” a representative of Ferguson’s told People.
