THE Princess of Wales has thanked people around the world for their messages of support after she bravely revealed her cancer battle.

Kate and devoted husband. Prince William said they had been "enormously touched" following Kate's revelation she is having chemotherapy.

Yesterday they were seen for the first time since the announcement, boarding a helicopter near their home in Windsor.

It is believed they were heading to their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk, where they are expected to spend the Easter school holidays with their children George, 10, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five.

The King, who aims to lead the family in a show of unity on Easter Sunday, has spoken of his pride in his beloved daughter-in-law for her courage in speaking out.

Royal sources said Charles, who is also fighting the disease after being diagnosed in February, is hoping to make the journey to St George's Chapel in Windsor next weekend to reassure the public amid incredibly testing times for the royals.

We can also exclusively reveal Charles, 75, has recorded an Easter message of hope, to be broadcast on Maundy Thursday at Worcester Cathedral.
