"It's a testament to the power of early diagnosis and intervention, and I hope it serves as an inspiration for those who may face cancer in the future. Early diagnosis is a life-saving measure."
The video message, recorded at Clarence House, was shown during the Stand Up To Cancer show on UK Channel 4, supporting a fundraising initiative with Cancer Research UK.
