Princess Kate announces she is “in remission” from her cancer

Princess Kate announced on Tuesday that she was “in remission” from her cancer and said she was looking to the future, in a message posted on social networks, less than a year after revealing her illness.

It’s a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on my recoverywrote the wife of Crown Prince William, who recently celebrated her 43rd birthday.

As anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer knows, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. However, I am looking forward to this year which promises to be enrichingcontinued Kate, who declared in September that she had finished her chemotherapy (New window).

A few hours earlier, she had gone to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she was treated, to thank the staff and provide support to the patients.

During this visit, she greeted the extraordinary work carried out in this establishment.

Immensely popular since her marriage in 2011 to William, which marked her entry into the royal family, Kate, who appeared almost every day in the press, suddenly disappeared from the media landscape after Christmas 2023.

She was hospitalized in January 2024 for abdominal surgery.

Faced with this absence, all kinds of rumors appeared on social networks. At the end of March, she put an end to speculation about her state of health by revealing in a video that she had cancer, without specifying its nature.

“Huge shock”

Alone, on a bench, with drawn features, she had spoken of a huge shock. Another hard blow for the royal family, since King Charles III had, at the beginning of February, also announced that he was suffering from cancer.

Six months later, the Princess of Wales announced in a new video that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment.

In this video produced in August, she appeared in the campaign accompanied by her husband and their three children, George, 11 years old, Charlotte, 9 years old, and Louis, 6 years old, and spoke in voice-over of the months incredibly hard and his desire to continue to take each day as it comes.

It also opened the way for a resumption of his official commitments.

Kate reappeared for the first time in public on June 15 during the King’s birthday parade. She had greeted the crowd from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, sitting on a chair, with the rest of the royal family.

The wife of Prince William was then warmly acclaimed by the public present in large numbers to attend the military parade Trooping the Colour [Salut aux couleurs]organized every June.

Since then, she has made other appearances, always closely followed by the press.

From the celebrations linked to the anniversary of the end of the First World War in November to her Christmas concert, held in Westminster Abbey, each time she appeared smiling and relaxed.

On December 25 in Sandringham (east of England), where the royal family traditionally meets for Christmas, she once again caused a sensation with the public who had gathered in front of the church.

On Tuesday, visibly moved, the Princess of Wales hugged a woman visiting the Royal Marsden Hospital. I’m sorry. I wish I could help moreshe said.

There is light at the end of the tunneladded the princess, who became the godmother of this London hospital, of which William was already the godfather.

In November, he confided that the past year, also marked by the cancer of his father, King Charles III, had been the hardest of his life.

The heir to the throne, in a message on the occasion of Kate’s birthday on January 9, paid tribute to the most amazing wife and mother and praised her remarkable strength during this same period.
