Princess Kate Makes Public Return After Chemotherapy

Princess Kate Makes Public Return After Chemotherapy
  • PublishedSeptember 23, 2024

Princess Kate, the Princess of Wales, made her first public appearance since completing chemotherapy, attending church with King Charles III and Queen Camilla near their royal Balmoral estate in Scotland on Sunday, The Associated Press reports.

Kate, 42, announced on September 9 that she had finished treatment six months after revealing she had an undisclosed type of cancer. The announcement came just six weeks after Buckingham Palace announced that the King was undergoing treatment for cancer.

In a video message, Kate expressed her gratitude for the support she had received during her treatment and noted the path to full recovery would be a long one. She pledged to undertake limited public engagements through the end of the year.

Despite stepping back from most public duties during treatment, Kate made two public appearances earlier this year. She attended the King’s birthday parade in June, known as Trooping the Colour, and most recently attended the men’s final at Wimbledon in July, where she received a standing ovation.
