Full statement from the Princess of Wales:

“I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last few months. It really made all the difference to William and I and helped us both get through some of the more difficult times.

I’m making good progress, but as anyone who goes through chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days. On these bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to resting your body. But on good days, when we feel stronger, we want to make the most of well-being.

My treatment is ongoing and will last a few more months. On days when I feel quite well, it is a joy to participate in school life, dedicate personal time to things that give me energy and positivity, as well as start doing a little work at home.

I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to take part in a few public engagements over the summer, but I also know that I’m not out of the drink.

I am learning to be patient, especially in the face of uncertainty. Take each day as it comes, listen to my body and allow myself to take this much needed time to heal.

Thank you so much for your continued understanding and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.
