Privacy NoticeThe Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is gradually returning to royal life by attending a matinee performance by the English National Ballet. After announcing earlier this month that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment following a cancer diagnosis in February, Kate attended the performance of Giselle at Sadlers Wells. The future Queen, 42, was so moved by the performance, she shared a personal message on X, saying: “Congratulations and thank you to @ENBallet and @Sadlers_Wells for the wonderfully powerful, moving and inspiring performance of Akram Khan’s Giselle. Creativity at its best! C” A Royal insider revealed: “Over the last few months, a key part of the Princess’ recovery is doing things that bring her joy and the arts, including ballet, is a real passion for the Princess.”

Kate is also planning her return to Royal duties, confirming this week her intention to host her annual charity carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December. The Together At Christmas event, now in its fourth year, will be broadcasted on ITV on Christmas Eve. Royal sources shared more good news, stating that the mum-of-three is feeling well enough to take on more light work as she continues her recovery, while she looks forward to starting some public engagements in the future. Aides have emphasised that Kate’s return to her Royal engagements will be in accordance with her steady recovery. Despite this, the upcoming concert marks her official return since December last year, reports the Mirror. In a quiet step towards normalcy, the Princess of Wales was spotted at the Wimbledon Men’s Final in July with her daughter, nine year old Princess Charlotte, and sister Pippa.

A source disclosed: “The princess continues to be making a good recovery and is looking forward to getting back to public life and is preparing for a light schedule of engagements in the run up to the New Year.” In efforts to slowly resume her duties, Kate met with her team from the Centre for Early Childhood in Windsor last week. This marked her first official professional engagement following her hospitalisation in January due to abdominal surgery. She later bravely revealed her cancer diagnosis. Kate was praised for sharing her experiences earlier this month, expressing in a profound statement that her journey through cancer had been “complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you”. She went on to reflect: “With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.” She continued: “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.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
