Earlier this month, Middleton dropped some incredible news about her cancer battle after first sharing back on March 22 that she’d been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.

In a post on Instagram from the royal house of Kensington Palace, the Princess of Wales can be seen in the emotional video spending time with Prince William and their three kids as she opens up about the relief of finally completing chemo and what she’s learned about what matters most. 

“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,” Middleton said. “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,” she added. “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,” Middleton continued. “Of simply loving and being loved. Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus.”

Princess Kate said her “path to healing and full recovery is long” and she must take each day one day at a time. She also revealed that she will be back to work soon and undertaking “more public engagements in the coming months.”

“Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life,” Middleton said. “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,” she added. “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.”
