Catherine, Princess of Wales, recently reflected on her cancer journey at a royal event, just months after completing chemotherapy treatment. She hosted the fourth annual carol service, “Together at Christmas,” at Westminster Abbey, joined by her husband, Prince William, and their three children. In a conversation with singer Paloma Faith, Kate discussed the challenging year she had faced, highlighting the unexpected nature of the events that unfolded. The diagnosis of cancer was shared through a video message in March, following major abdominal surgery in January. However, the specific type of cancer and surgery have not been disclosed.
Kate completed chemotherapy treatment in September and stated her intentions to return to a light schedule of public engagements for the remainder of the year. Despite her treatment, the Princess maintained a low profile while continuing her duties as a member of the royal family. Prince William also acknowledged the difficulties faced over the past year, mentioning both Kate’s cancer diagnosis and his father’s battle with illness. The conversation at the event provided a rare insight into Kate’s personal journey and her experiences with cancer, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by many individuals during the challenging year.
