Kate Middleton shares first official health update since cancer diagnosis

Kate Middleton has shared a health update following her cancer diagnosis announcement in March

Kate Middleton has provided an update on her health after announcing her shock cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

The Princess of Wales said in March that she is undergoing treatment for cancer, in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter. This is what she said at the time:

In a statement posted on social media this evening (Friday 14 June), the 42-year-old opened up about her health.

She wrote: "I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months.

"It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.

"I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting.

"But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.

"On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home."

The Princess continued: "I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.

"I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.

"Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me."

Earlier this month, it seemed that her husband, Prince William, shared some positive news regarding her health during a D-Day memorial event in Portsmouth on 5 June.

During the BBC's coverage of the event, the 41-year-old could be seen chatting to a veteran, who asked the Prince if Kate was 'getting better'.

"Yes, she'd have loved to be here," the Prince responded.

This comes after the father-of-three was asked about his wife's health during a hospital visit to the Isles of Scilly on 10 May.

"May I ask how Princess Kate is doing?" hospital administrator Tracy Smith asked him, to which he replied: "She's doing well, thank you."
