London, UK – Princess Catherine of Wales revealed on Friday that she is currently undergoing chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer and still has a few months of treatment left. Despite this, she expressed that she is making good progress. Known as Princess Kate, she also shared her first planned public appearance since her diagnosis.
Earlier this year, Princess Kate received her cancer diagnosis and has since been out of the public eye to focus on her treatment. Her office previously stated that she would only return to her duties once medically cleared. Recently, she made a brief appearance at a farm shop with her husband before making her official return at a military parade on King Charles III’s birthday.
In a statement posted on social media, Princess Kate expressed her gratitude for the support and encouragement she has received during her journey. She shared that while she is making progress, there are still challenging days during her treatment. She mentioned that she has been working from home and plans to gradually take on more responsibilities as she feels able to.
Despite missing the Colonel’s Review, a traditional parade rehearsal, Princess Kate’s commitment to the Irish Guards, of which she is the honorary colonel, remains strong. She sent apologies to the regiment for missing the event and expressed her hope to represent them again in the future. Additionally, a new photo of Princess Kate was released by Kensington Palace, taken at the royal family’s estate in Windsor.
King Charles III, Princess Kate’s father-in-law, was also diagnosed with cancer this year. However, he has been able to resume his public duties, including attending the upcoming Trooping of the Colour parade. He will be participating in a carriage instead of on horseback for the procession, showing his ongoing dedication despite his health challenges.
