Public share their thoughts on Princess Kate's announcement

The Prince and Princess of Wales were today pictured boarding a helicopter on their way to their country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, where they are expected to spend their Easter break joined by their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Following Friday's devastating news that Kate has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and is now undergoing preventative chemotherapy, the family are not expected to attend next week's Easter church service in Windsor and will spend their holidays in Norfolk instead.

The stunning Georgian mansion is the country residence of Prince William and Princess Kate after the late Queen Elizabeth II gifted the mansion to them as a wedding present.

Built in 1802, it has undergone numerous renovations over the years, with the couple's most recent renovation in 2021 costing a reported £1.5million.
