Since standing out atKing Charles’s coronation in May2023, Ayesha Shand has become a more well-known public figure.
As the daughter ofCamilla Parker-Bowles’s late brother, Mark Shand, she is the Queen Consort’s niece.
Not only can this cause a host of debilitating symptoms, but it can also impact fertility.
In a video posted toInstagram, Shand confessed what the medical diagnosis means to her.
It’s isolating, agonizing, and completely unbearable."
This is all followed by intense waves of helplessness and depression."
She explained, “Endometriosis is very difficult to diagnose, treat and ultimately cure.
Treatment is possible when a diagnosis is achieved, though there is currently no cure for endometriosis.
Shand revealed that she is taking steps to manage her symptoms.
In a few weeks, she will have surgery that can potentially alleviate her discomfort.
However, sometimes, a hysterectomy is performed.
Queen Camilla herself had a hysterectomy in 2007.
The royal family did not disclose exactly why she underwent the procedure.
However, they did make the announcement ahead of her surgery date and weren’t secretive about the operation.
Shedding light on issues personally close to her is not something new for the art enthusiast.
Speaking honestly to the camera, she captioned herreel, “Today is International Bipolar Day.
Having grown up alongside it, I know how isolating, confusing, and shameful it can feel.
Shand did not disclose which parent, however.
