First Minister Michelle O’Neill said: “I was very sorry to hear of the Princess of Wales’ illness and I want to wish her well with her ongoing medical treatment and a full and speedy recovery.”

Deputy First Minister, Emma Little-Pengelly said: “I would like to send my warmest wishes to the Princess of Wales as she undergoes treatment following her recent surgery and diagnosis.

“Like so many others in Northern Ireland, I will be keeping her and her young family in my thoughts in the weeks and months ahead.”
