Britain's Princess of Wales says that her cancer is in remission, following a visit to hospital where she received treatment earlier this year.
In a statement on social media, the princess offered her heartfelt thanks to those who helped her and her husband Prince William.
“We couldn’t have asked for more,’’ she wrote. “The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional.’’
I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year.

My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything.

Her Kensington Palace office stressed that she would continue to return to public-facing engagements, albeit gradually. The palace described the visit as reflecting her “own personal cancer journey.’’
The royal family was hard hit by health concerns last year, beginning with the announcement in January 2024 that the king would receive treatment for an enlarged prostate and Kate would undergo abdominal surgery.
In February, Buckingham Palace announced that Charles was receiving treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer. Six weeks later, Kate said she, too, was undergoing treatment for cancer, quieting the relentless speculation about her condition that had circulated on social media since her surgery.
She announced in September that she had completed chemotherapy.
