King Charles family member issues rare health update in new statement

A member of the royal family opened up about her health struggles in a heartfelt message.

Flora Vesterberg, who is the daughter of King Charles' second cousin James Ogilvy, recently revealed that she was diagnosed with autism at 30.

In a special writing piece for British Vogue, the granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, who was a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth, shared that she has been quite struggling due to her disease.

She said, "I've struggled quietly with the challenges of my neurodiversity since childhood, but am now also able to perceive its strengths."

The Art Historian and Broadcaster shared how her medical condition left her "empowered" despite her "underlying concern for how I would articulate this professionally."

"Whilst my journey with autism feels like it only truly began with my diagnosis, I feel relieved to now have a clearer understanding of my emotional needs as well as the strengths that I should lean into," Flora penned.

The royal, who did not let autism leave a negative impact on her education and career, further said, "As a result of the diagnosis, I feel empowered by having a framework with which to understand my experiences and sensitivities."

Flora believes that her opening up about her medical condition will "not only help me to be kinder to myself, but also help my community to support me effectively."
