Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has announced that she is now in remission after battling cancer for most of last year. She and her husband, Prince William, were named joint patrons of the Royal Marsden, the cancer hospital where Catherine received treatment.
After battling cancer for most of last year, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, announced that she is now in remission. Catherine confirmed in March of last year that she had cancer, following months of speculation surrounding her health. In a statement shared on social media on Tuesday, she expressed relief at being in remission and a focus on her recovery. 'It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain on recovery,' she said.
'As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.'Catherine and her husband, Prince William, the heir apparent to the British throne, were named joint patrons of the Royal Marsden, the cancer hospital where Catherine received treatment last year. Prince William has served as president of the Royal Marsden since 2007, a position previously held by his mother, the late Princess Diana. 'I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year,' Catherine said in her statement. 'My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional.' In her new role, Catherine hopes to save more lives and improve the experience of all those affected by cancer. She aims to achieve this by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family well-being.Catherine's health journey became a global topic early last year when Kensington Palace announced she needed a break from royal duties after undergoing 'major abdominal surgery' in January. The princess's withdrawal from public life sparked widespread speculation about her condition, fueling months of concern. In March, she publicly addressed her cancer diagnosis in an emotional video message, following reports of a breach in her medical records at the London Clinic. She began treatment in late February and announced in September that it was complete, confirming her return to light public duties.The announcement of Catherine's patronage was made during her visit to the Royal Marsden's hospital in Chelsea. During the visit, the mother of three met with patients undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Cally Palmer, chief executive of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, welcomed Catherine and expressed delight at her joining Prince William as Joint Patrons. Palmer highlighted William's nearly two decades of support for the hospital's work and emphasized that both royal patrons inspire staff and patients, allowing the hospital to showcase the exceptional care provided daily to patients and their families.During her visit, Catherine shared some of the side effects she experienced after her cancer treatment, including speech difficulties and brain fog. 'You think treatment’s finished, crack on with that … daily tasks, but that's still like a real challenge,' she told hospital staff, according to the Daily Mail. 'And talking … the words totally disappear … understanding that as a patient, yes, there are side effects around treatment, but actually there are more long-term side effects.
