LONDON, ENGLAND: The Princess of Wales, Catherine, or Kate Middleton, announced on Tuesday, January 14, that her cancer is in remission.

The 43-year-old royal shared the update in a statement on social media, expressing relief as she looks forward to a fulfilling year ahead.

Kate Middleton says 'It is a relief' to now be in 'remission' from cancer

Reflecting on her recovery, Kate Middleton said she was relieved but suggested going back to normal life was challenging. 

“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery," she said.

"As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal," she added.

"I am, however, looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support," she said.

The Princess, who announced her diagnosis in March 2024, stepped back from public duties for most of the year to focus on her health. She completed chemotherapy in September 2024 and has since been on a journey of healing and recovery.
