Princess Kate of Wales shared on Monday that she has completed her course of preventative chemotherapy for cancer, expressing gratitude for the support of her family and a renewed appreciation for life.
The 42-year-old princess, wife of Prince William, underwent major abdominal surgery in January that revealed cancer. Since then, she has been receiving treatment. In a personal message accompanying an intimate family video, Kate revealed that she would be undertaking a few public engagements later this year but emphasized her focus on staying cancer-free.
Reflecting on her journey, Kate described the past nine months as incredibly challenging and noted the profound impact the experience has had on her perspective. She highlighted the importance of cherishing the simple aspects of life and the support of loved ones.
King Charles and Queen Camilla expressed their delight at Kate’s progress and will continue to support her as she continues her recovery. In the video filmed last month, Kate appeared healthy and engaged in family activities, including spending time outdoors and playing with her children.
Kate concluded her message with a hopeful outlook, acknowledging the ongoing nature of her recovery and expressing solidarity with others facing similar challenges.
