Sarah, Duchess of York has been treated for an aggressive form of skin cancer, just six months after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The Duchess, 64, underwent a single mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery last summer.
But when she had further reconstruction surgery last month, medics removed several moles, one of which was found to be a malignant melanoma.
Despite the double health shock, the “resilient” Duchess is said to be in good spirits and determined to plough on.
She is undergoing further tests to check that the cancer was caught in the early stages and has not spread to other parts of her body.
The news comes as the King prepares to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate and the Princess of Wales recovers from major abdominal surgery.
A spokesman for the Duchess said: “Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
“Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analysed at the same time as the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.”
Recuperation
The Duchess received the diagnosis just days after Christmas. Since then, she has spent time recuperating at the MAYRLIFE clinic, a medical spa in Austria.
The clinic, which is nestled on the shores of Lake Altaussee, offers various health programmes and attracts wealthy A-list stars.
Major Ronald Ferguson, the Duchess’s father, had been diagnosed with skin cancer just months before his death in March 2003 and had planned to undergo chemotherapy. He also had prostate cancer although he died of a heart attack.
Four years earlier, in October 1999, Carolyn Cotterell, the Duchess’s closest friend and flatmate, died from skin cancer.
Princess Beatrice, the Duchess’s eldest daughter, is patron of the British Skin Foundation and has worked with skin cancer patients.
The Duchess’s spokesman said: “She is undergoing further investigations to ensure that this has been caught in the early stages. Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing but the Duchess remains in good spirits.

The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has been diagnosed with skin cancer following the removal of a cancerous mole during treatment for breast cancer, her spokesman has said.
The 64-year-old was diagnosed with malignant melanoma after several moles were removed during treatment for her last cancer and doctors are working to establish if it was caught early.
The royal "remains in good spirits" despite the diagnosis being so soon after she last received treatment.
A spokesman announced: "Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma.
"Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analysed at the same time as the duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.
"She is undergoing further investigations to ensure that this has been caught in the early stages.
"Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing but the duchess remains in good spirits.
"The duchess wants to thank the entire medical team which has supported her, particularly her dermatologist whose vigilance ensured the illness was detected when it was.
"She believes her experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, colour and texture and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma."
Last year the Duchess of York shared how her breast cancer diagnosis changed her life – and given her the confidence to be herself.
The royal underwent a mastectomy at London’s King Edward VII's Hospital last June after doctors detected the disease during a routine test in the Spring.
