**LONDON** – Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has announced she has completed chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with cancer in March. In a heartfelt video message released by Kensington Palace on Monday, she shared her relief at finishing treatment and described the past nine months as “incredibly tough” for her and her family.

“Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus,” she said, acknowledging that her “path to healing and full recovery is long.” The Princess expressed gratitude for the support she has received and acknowledged the challenges faced by others navigating their own cancer journeys.

The video message, featuring Prince William and their three children, was filmed last month on a beach in Norfolk. The palace confirmed the Princess is gradually returning to public life, starting with a “light programme of external engagements” for the remainder of the year.

While no specific details about the Princess’s illness were disclosed, citing medical privacy, she is expected to attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in November and work on a carol service scheduled for December.

The Princess’s openness about her diagnosis and treatment has been lauded by cancer experts for its potential to destigmatize the disease and offer support to others facing similar challenges.

The Princess’s return to public life is a welcome sign of her resilience and determination to continue her duties, while also prioritizing her health and recovery.
