In a heartfelt statement released by Kensington Palace, the Princess of Wales, Kate, has shared her ongoing battle with cancer. Despite facing “good days and bad days,” Kate has announced her attendance at the upcoming Trooping the Colour parade, marking her first official public appearance since revealing her diagnosis in March.
The photo accompanying the statement captures Kate’s resilience, as she prepares to join the royal family for The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend. Her words reflect both hope and caution: “I hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”
Kate’s treatment continues, and she acknowledges the rollercoaster of emotions that come with chemotherapy. On tough days, she feels weak and tired, surrendering to rest. But on better days, she seizes the opportunity to feel stronger and engage with life.
“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty,” Kate shares. “Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much-needed time to heal.”
During the parade, Kate is expected to ride in a carriage with her children, emphasising her gradual return to public life. Her courage and determination inspire us all as she navigates this challenging journey.
