A Message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales | September 2024

As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.

With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.

Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.

To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light so let that light shine bright.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... YouTube needs to add a "love" button because "like" isn't enough for something like this. Princess Catherine is ready to be the queen that UK really needs ! Anyone who faces reality will see in her the worthy heir to our late Queen Elizabeth II. I really love you, your family and my country, thanks to you !!!

I hope she knows just how much she’s loved by the whole country.

Catherine was truly born to be Queen Consort one day. She has so perfectly embodied all that the Royal Family stands for and more. As a Canadian, I think that the UK and commonwealth countries are lucky to have someone like her to serve as a role model of humility, service, love, and grace under pressure.

I’m in the US, and I just cried in relief and realized that we were mourning the Queen just 2 years ago this week. God save the Prince and Princess of Wales!

A young woman full of grace and dignity! God bless this young family.
