Kate Middleton latest news: Princess WILL attend Trooping the Colour after cancer diagnosis as Royal give update on health battle in moving new statement

To mark the news, Kensington Palace also released a stunning new portrait of the princess, taken in Windsor this week by Matt Porteous, which shows her looking good and in a thoughtful mood.

The photo was taken earlier this week by Mr Porteous, a favorite private photographer of the couple, at the Windsor estate.

‘I have been overwhelmed by all the lovely messages of support and encouragement over the past few months.

‘It really has made a world of difference to William and me and helped us both through the tougher times.

‘I’m making good progress, but as anyone undergoing chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days.

‘On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you need to rest your body. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of your good feelings.

‘My treatment is still ongoing and will last a few more months. On the days when I feel well enough, it’s a joy to get busy with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, and start some work from home.

‘I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade with my family this weekend and hope to take part in some public performances this summer, but I also know I’m not out of the woods yet.

‘I’m learning to be patient, especially when it comes to uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take some much needed time to heal.

“Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who so courageously shared your stories with me.”

Although she will not return to public duties full-time, she is now feeling well enough to take on a small number of public duties in the coming months.

The Princess of Wales will attend Trooping the Color in London on Saturday and said she “hopes to take part in a few public appearances over the summer” as she continues cancer treatment for “a few more months”.

In a statement, the Princess of Wales said she is “making good progress” and has “good and bad days”, adding: “I’m not out of the woods yet”
