Privacy Notice Kate Middleton has released a heartfelt new statement and video message, in which she confirmed that she has now completed her course of preventative chemotherapy. In March, Kate, 42, who shares children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with husband Prince William, bravely shared the news that she was undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy. In a lengthy and very personal message today, the Princess of Wales says she is looking forward to undertaking a handful of public engagements over the coming months, but says her focus is on “doing what I can to stay cancer free”. Alongside the new update on Kate’s health, some beautiful pictures have also been shared, showing the royal family embracing on a beach and spending time in the tranquil surroundings of a forest.

The statement from Kate reads: “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. “The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. “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.
Kate said she has finished chemotherapy and is “looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months”
“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved. “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. “I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

“Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life. “William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.” Kate ended her statement with words of reassurance for others who are still being treated 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.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
