King Charles expresses 'delight' over Kate news in 24 word palace statement
King Charles' spokesman has shared that His Majesty is 'delighted' by news that the Princess Of Wales will join her family at tomorrow's Trooping Of The Colour.
In a 24 word statement, the King celebrated his daughter-in-law's decision to join his official birthday celebrations in London. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "His Majesty is delighted that the Princess is able to attend tomorrow's events, and is much looking forward to all elements of the day".
This comes after Kate announced in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer, and would be undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy.
In a statement a spokesperson for William said he was "pleased" Kate was starting her return to the "projects that are important to her". The statement added: "He will continue to focus his time on supporting his wife and children, while continuing to undertake his public duties."
Kate has not been seen in public with the rest of the royal family since Christmas Day last year at Sandringham. Updating the public on Friday, she thanked them for the outpouring of support, saying she had been "blown away". However, Kate cautioned she was "not out of the woods" and would be in treatment for "a few more months".She also addressed the difficult experience of chemo, saying she had both good and bad days.
The Princess explained: "I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home."
Kate said she was I’m looking forward to attending Trooping Of The Colour with her family, and would also be planning to attend several more events this summer. However she cautioned: "I am not out of the woods yet."
She explained: "I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal. Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me."
Kate issued an emotional video message to the nation in March, announcing she was undergoing chemotherapy after post-op tests for an unrelated surgery found cancer had been present.
She and William took the time to sensitively share the princess’s diagnosis with their children ahead of the Easter holidays, giving them time to process the information.
