“My road to healing and full recovery is long”

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has announced that she has completed chemotherapy treatment in a video posted on X.

“The last nine months have been incredibly challenging for us as a family,” Middleton says in the video, reading from the text “A Message from Catherine, Princess of Wales” that is also being released. “Life as we know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and the uncharted road.”

The three-minute, six-second video shows her husband, William, Prince of Wales, and their three children hiking in the forest, walking on the beach, having a picnic and playing cards. It includes footage of the royal couple holding each other tightly.

“This time has mostly reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple but important things in life that many of us often take for granted,” Middleton says. “Just loving and being loved.”

She doesn’t share details of her diagnosis or treatment, focusing instead on how her experience gave her a new perspective.

In March, Middleton announced in a separate video that she had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer. The announcement came after public speculation about her well-being following abdominal surgery.

Middleton says her current goal is to remain cancer-free, but she’s looking forward to returning to work and speaking in her spare time.

“My road to recovery and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” Middleton said. “William and I are very grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from everyone who is helping us at this time.”

Middleton ends the video by expressing sympathy for others who are dealing with the challenges of cancer, saying, “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey, I stand with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness can come light, so let that light shine.”
