The Princess of Wales has publicly announced her return to public duties after completing a challenging course of chemotherapy. In a deeply personal video message, Kate shared her emotional journey through cancer treatment and the impact it has had on her and her family.

The video, released on Monday, features intimate moments of the Wales family, including scenes of Kate, Prince William, and their children enjoying the outdoors, walking through serene woods, and sharing tender moments together. The Princess’s message is spoken over these images, giving a glimpse into the personal side of the royal family during this difficult time.

Reflecting on the past nine months, Kate described the experience as “incredibly tough for us as a family” and spoke candidly about the complexities of dealing with cancer. “The cancer journey is complex, scary, and unpredictable for everyone,” she said, adding that the ordeal has given her “a new perspective on everything.”

In her message, Kate expressed her determination to focus on staying cancer-free, acknowledging that while chemotherapy has ended, her path to full recovery is ongoing. “Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long, and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” she stated.

Despite the challenges, the Princess of Wales conveyed her readiness to gradually resume her royal duties. She shared her excitement about returning to work and undertaking more public engagements in the coming months, even as she continues her recovery. “I am, however, looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can,” she said, expressing a renewed sense of hope and appreciation for life.

The video concluded with a poignant message of reassurance and solidarity for others who are still undergoing treatment for cancer. “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright,” the Princess said, offering words of comfort and encouragement.

Kate has been receiving preventative chemotherapy following a diagnosis of an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year.
