Princess Kate's comments about how she dealt with the aftermath of cancer treatment were a massive "comfort" to American actress Olivia Munn.
Ms Munn, 45, known for her roles in The Predator and New Girl, said the royal's words helped her during her own battle with the disease.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and struggled to "put [it] into words" until she heard the Princess of Wales, 43, discuss her way of handling the situation.
Ms Munn told NBC's Today Show it was "so great" to hear "someone in [Kate's] position" speaking about cancer.

Your Say
Speaking to host Jenna Bush Hager, she said: "The first part is hard, but a lot of people don't talk about how hard the second part is.
"I actually didn't know how to articulate it, and then I heard her say recently that, 'Oh, it's hard, but this other part is really tough. The part after the surgeries and stuff like that'.
"It really made me feel so comforted that someone in her position was talking about it, because I needed to hear that. I needed someone to articulate that."
Kate said she was beginning her chemotherapy in March 2024 and revealed she was in remission in January this year.

The princess discussed her "really difficult" treatement at Colchester Hospital in Essex, as well as the challenges she continues to overcome after her treatment.
Ms Munn said: "It was so great to hear her say it because I wasn't able to put the words in myself, and I've been talking so much about breast cancer."
The future Queen discussed dealing with cancer at the Wellbeing Garden of the hospital earlier this year.
She said: "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal', but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult."
Kate explained the phase after cancer is 'really, really difficult'

"And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.
"You have to find your new normal and that takes time… and it's a roller coaster, it's not one smooth plain, which you expect it to be. But the reality is, it's not; you go through hard times.
"And to have a place like this to have the support network, through creativity and singing or gardening, whatever it might be, is so valuable, and it's great this community has it; it would be great if lots of communities had this kind of support."
