Kate confirms she has completed chemotherapy treatment
The Princess of Wales has announced she completed her chemotherapy treatment in an emotional tree-minute video released by Kensington Palace.
The video also shows the royal enjoying summer in Norfolk with her family, including Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Speaking in the video, Kate describes the past year as "incredibly tough", adding that "life as you know it can change in an instant". She also describes her experience of cancer as "complex, scary and unpredictable".
"With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything," she explains in a rare, personal film from the royals.
The princess is expected to return to the public eye later this year for upcoming events, such as the annual Remembrance service at the Cenotaph.
She has slowly started to make more public appearances, recently attending the Wimbledon final with daughter Princess Charlotte. Kate received a standing ovation from crowds while attending the match. The first public appearance of the year came at Trooping the Colour in June, when she waved from the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Kate's health problems began in January when she was in hospital for an unspecified type of abdominal surgery. She then revealed that she was undergoing treatment for cancer in March this year.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who’ve taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful,” she said in another personal video.
Kate has since added that she still has a long way until she recovers. "My path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes," she says.
She continued that her medical treatment has given her a "renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life".
