In her recent update, she expressed gratitude for the support she has received, stating, "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."

She further explained the realities of her chemotherapy treatment, highlighting the fluctuations between good and bad days. Kate said, "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 and 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."

Expressing her anticipation for the upcoming events, Kate confirmed, "I’m looking forward to attending Trooping the Colour with my family, and would also be planning to attend several more events this summer. However, she cautioned, "I am not out of the woods yet."

Kate emphasized the importance of patience and listening to her body, stating, "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."
