“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.
