Kate Middleton’s New Photo and Health Update
Alongside the photo, a heartfelt letter from Kate was also released, offering an update on her treatment journey.
“The kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months have blown me away,” Kate expressed. “They’ve made a world of difference for William and me, helping us through some of the tougher days.”
Kate shared that her treatment is ongoing, mentioning the challenges and the small victories. “I am making good progress, but anyone undergoing chemotherapy knows that there are good days and bad days. On the bad days, you feel weak and exhausted, and you have to let your body rest. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well,” she elaborated.
Her letter also confirmed that her treatment would continue for “a few more months.” She revealed how she spends her better days. “When I feel well enough, it’s a joy to engage in school life, spend time on things that give me energy and positivity, and even start to do a little work from home.”
Kate is set to attend Trooping the Colour, King Charles’ official birthday celebration, on June 15. This will be her first public appearance with the royal family since Christmas.
“I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer. But I’m also aware that I’m not out of the woods yet,” she stated. “I’m learning to be patient, especially with the uncertainties. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself the time I need to heal. Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”
Recently, Kate was seen out with her family and running errands alone, sources . Prince William mentioned last month that his wife is “doing well.”
No decisions have been made on specific future plans, but Kate will attend events as she is able, without marking a full-time return, as she continues to focus on her treatment and recovery.
