Calling all of us to contribute to a greater cause, the Prince remarked how around 50,000 people in the UK get diagnosed with the disease each year. Half of them suffered due to negligence or unawareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer. “So if you’re watching this, please take a second to listen and learn about the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer. It could save your life,” said the Prince before concluding.
