Duchess of York remains in good spirits and is undergoing further investigations, spokesperson says

The Duchess of York has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of skin cancer months after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

A spokesperson for Sarah Ferguson, 64, said medics had removed a mole on her body, which tested as a malignant melanoma, during treatment for her cancer. Doctors are now working to establish whether it was caught early.
