Breast cancer hit the headlines once more this week as Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, revealed she has undergone an operation after being diagnosed with the condition.
The 63-year-old discovered she had an early form of the disease during a routine mammogram, according to her representatives. She reportedly left the King Edward VII Hospital in Marylebone, central London – which has treated the royal family for decades - on Sunday and is said to be recovering with her family, including ex-husband Andrew, at Windsor.
Before going to hospital, she spoke about her diagnosis on her new podcast 'Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah', which was released on Monday (June 26). It was reportedly recorded before her operation and had been due to air the previous Thursday, before being put off until after she was discharged.
