Sarah Duchess of York is currently recovering after breast Cancer surgery that took place last week.
“She was advised she needed to undergo surgery which has taken place successfully,” said a representative of the former Sarah Ferguson, who is 63, according to the Independent.
“The Duchess is receiving the best medical care and her doctors have told her that the prognosis is good. She is now recuperating with her family,” the representative said.
“The Duchess wants to express her immense gratitude to all the medical staff who have supported her in recent days,” the representative added.
“She is also hugely thankful to the staff involved in the mammogram which identified her illness, which was otherwise symptom-free, and believes her experience underlines the importance of regular screening,” the representative said.
The surgery took place at the King Edward VII Hospital in London which has treated other members of the Royal family, according to the BBC.
The BBC said Sarah was recovering at her Windsor home.
