Netizens react to Kate Middleton's first public visit after chemotherapy

Internet shared their honest take on Kate Middleton's visit as several people praised her for taking out time amid a health battle.

A person wrote on X, "The Peoples Princess." 

"She strikes me as someone with a genuine heart and consideration for others. I do believe she’ll be as equally horrified at what happened, and not just there for the cameras," another person added. 

An individual praised, "A moment of resilience and hope. Nothing heals better than community. Thoughts and prayers with Southport and all who suffered."

"It's great to see her & what an important first engagement. Also, stand by for Harkle to compete---probably go to Uvale again. Still, not a peep from the Harkles for the thousands of victims of hurricane Helene--people are still w/o power, food, & water," one shared.

Another wrote, "God Bless her . She is lovely & kind . Her heart is always with empathy for others . We love you Catherine & William."

One joked, "She'd better be careful,Herr Starmer might send her down for three years!"

"This is what Royalty looks like. It’s not celebrity or running up and down a red carpet. It’s about others and it’s about dressing appropriately. The Princess of Wales is elegant, beautiful and represents the best qualities of Britain," another chimed.
