Kate’s last official public appearance before taking a break was in December 2023. One month later, Kensington Palace confirmed that Kate wouldn’t be involved in any royal engagements until after April at the earliest due […]

Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year, limiting all public-facing engagements while she underwent a preventive round of chemotherapy. She confirmed last month that she finished her treatment.

“As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” Kate said in a video statement shared in September. “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.”

Will and Kate share sons Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, 6, and daughter Princess Charlotte, 9, all of whom appeared in the social media video.
