Catherine, Princess of Wales, has garnered widespread attention and concern in recent months after announcing her cancer diagnosis and undergoing treatment.
Today, Princess Kate shared some uplifting news: she has completed her chemotherapy and is now “cancer-free.”
“With summer coming to a close, I can’t express how relieved I am to have finished my chemotherapy treatment,” the Princess of Wales said in a statement from Kensington Palace.
The past nine months have been extremely challenging for our family. Life can change so quickly, and we’ve had to navigate through difficult times and face an uncertain future.
Cancer is complex, frightening, and full of unexpected twists for everyone involved, especially for loved ones. It forces you to confront your vulnerabilities in ways you may never have imagined, and it gives you a renewed perspective on life.
Catherine also shared her plans for the future, stating that while she hopes to resume more public engagements soon, her primary focus remains on her health and maintaining her cancer-free status. “The road to full recovery is long, and I need to take it one day at a time,” she said.

William and I are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support we’ve received. It has given us strength during this difficult period. The kindness and understanding from everyone has been truly moving. To all those battling cancer, I stand with you, hand in hand. Remember, even in the darkest moments, light can break through — let that light shine brightly.
This positive news comes as a beacon of hope in what has been a tough year for the British royal family. Both Catherine and King Charles III have faced cancer diagnoses. Charles revealed his in February, but he was able to resume his royal duties by spring.
Kate’s health battle attracted significant public attention and media speculation. In January, she revealed that she would undergo surgery for what was reported to be an abdominal issue. However, her prolonged absence from the public eye led to concerns that her condition might have been more serious than initially disclosed.
Speculation reached a fever pitch when the palace released a heavily edited photo of Kate with her children for Mother’s Day, sparking a media frenzy dubbed “Kate-Gate.” In response, Catherine shared a video in March, confirming her cancer diagnosis, discussing her chemotherapy, and announcing that she would be taking additional time off.
In June, she provided another update, stating she was “not out of the woods yet” but focusing on taking each day as it comes. She also mentioned her intent to gradually resume her royal responsibilities over the summer.
We are thrilled to hear that Princess Kate has completed her chemotherapy and is doing well. Please share this wonderful news!
