Kate Middleton shared a poignant message on World Cancer Day, more than one year after she revealed she was in remission from her own battle.
The Princess of Wales commemorated World Cancer Day on Wednesday (February 4) by sharing a video montage on Instagram of her visiting The Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea in January 2025, the site where she received treatment during her own cancer journey, People reports.
"On World Cancer Day, my thoughts are with everyone who is facing a cancer diagnosis, undergoing treatment or finding their way through recovery," she said in a voiceover. "Cancer touches so many lives — not only patients, but the families and friends and caregivers who walk beside them."
She continued, "As anyone who has experienced this journey will know, it's not linear. There are moments of fear and exhaustion. But also moments of strength, kindness, and profound connection. Today is a reminder of the importance of care, understanding and hope. Please know you are not alone."
The Princess of Wales announced in March 2024 that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy after a planned surgery revealed "cancer had been present" and revealed in January 2025 that she was in remission. Her husband, Prince William, later confirmed the "great news" and shared how they were navigating the challenging times with their three children: George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7.
