Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has broken her silence regarding her ongoing battle with cancer in a heartfelt first official statement.
The announcement includes an update on her health and her plans to return to public engagements, beginning with her attendance at the Trooping the Colour event scheduled for tomorrow.
This appearance will mark her first public engagement since revealing her diagnosis.
In her statement, reported by The Daily Mail, Kate expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support she and Prince William have received during this challenging period.
“I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months,” she said.
“It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.”
She candidly shared her experience with chemotherapy, acknowledging the fluctuating nature of her health.
“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
On those bad days, you feel weak, tired, and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
Kate also provided insight into her ongoing treatment and her approach to balancing health and public duties. “My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.
On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”
Looking ahead, the Princess of Wales expressed her excitement about participating in upcoming royal events, while also acknowledging the need for patience and self-care.
“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.
I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much-needed time to heal.”
