IN a touching video shared on September 9, Princess Kate revealed that she is done chemotherapy and is now focused on being “cancer free”.
In the heartwarming clip, the 42-year-old royal said she was “so grateful” for the support she received after first announcing she had an undisclosed form of cancer in March.

The video offers an intimate look at the Wales‘, featuring clips of George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, playing games in the woods with their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
But according to royal commentator Victoria Arbiter, there is a hidden meaning behind part of the video.
It turns out that the royal couple announced they were expecting their second child, Charlotte, ten years after they shared the video.
She wrote on X, formally Twitter: “For the royal history and fact freaks – of which I am one – William and Kate announced 10 years ago yesterday that they were expecting their second child.”

That could mean that some of the touching clips, such as Kate walking hand-in-hand with her only daughter, are a nod to the anniversary of the announcement.
She said: “As summer draws to a close, I can’t put into words what a relief it is to finally have completed my chemotherapy.
“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and unfamiliar roads.
“Cancer is a complicated, frightening and unpredictable process for everyone, especially those you love.
“With humility, it also confronts you with your own vulnerabilities in a way you’ve never considered before, and that brings a new perspective on everything.
“This time has especially reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life that so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
Kate also shared that “doing everything I can to stay cancer free” is her focus now, and she indicated that the road to recovery is still long.
But she said she was looking forward to getting back to work and making some public appearances in the coming months.
How Princess Charlotte has already changed history

After the birth of Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte became the first female royal to retain her claim to the throne despite having a younger brother.
For the Succession Under the Crown Act 2013, the birth of a son meant he would leapfrog older daughters in the line of succession to the throne.
Princess Anna, despite being the Queen’s second child, was therefore in line to the throne below her younger brothers Andrew and Edward.
Princess Charlotte is the first royal not to be excluded on the basis of gender, meaning Prince Louis will be fifth in line to the throne.
Charlotte is said to have already acquired a nice nickname among her friends.
When it comes to her friends, Charlotte has another secret name.
William and Kate’s only daughter was nicknamed ‘Warrior Princess’ at nursery because of her ‘feisty’ personality, Katie Nicholl previously claimed.
Katie said Entertainment tonight: “The other nickname she had when she was at Willcocks Nursery, until just before the summer, was Warrior Princess.
“I wonder if that’s a nickname that will stick with her. Apparently she earned that nickname because she’s clearly a princess, but she’s quite a tomboy.
“She loves climbing trees and is a real adventurer. She was known for her feisty character.”
Princess Charlotte was given the nickname when she attended Willcocks Nursery and then Lambrook School.

It’s time to show Kate more respect, criticizes Sun’s Royal Editor
THE Sun editor-in-chief Matt Wilkinson says it’s time for cruel trolling of Kate to stop as he gives his take on her shocking cancer diagnosis.
Sometimes it’s hard to realize and understand that this is a family and they are going through very difficult things right now.
I find it very interesting that she says that they took the time, that they needed time, to process this information and that she also told their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, which would be an incredibly difficult conversation.
Many people who have ridiculed Kate to gain online traction, like Kim Kardashian, need to take a good look at themselves and apologize for their behavior.
People have been asking where is Kate? Well, she’s been dealing with this cancer diagnosis and she’s had to tell her young family.
Much of the abuse has also come from so-called ‘Sussex Squad’ members on Twitter who are fans of Harry and Meghan. This was a disgraceful episode and people should show the Princess of Wales more respect.
We know that the Princess of Wales went to hospital in January for abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it was not cancer. However, subsequent tests found cancer and she began preventive chemotherapy in late February.
They took their time to process this and Kate announced this to the world today.
They chose today because it is the last day of school for George, Charlotte and Louis, which means they can spend the next few weeks together as a family, away from all the drama, and really deal with the cancer diagnosis together.
Kate says she found the cancer diagnosis shocking, but it is also a cancer diagnosis that many people around the world will listen to and have sympathy and empathy for, because there are many families who are in a similar situation and have to break the news to their children, as in this case.
Kate has lived her life in the spotlight for many, many years and there has been some very nasty stuff posted online. A lot of bullying, we would say, about Kate and why she has been missing for the last few weeks.
We understand that this was not a motivation for her to come out today to make the statement, but it is clearly something that has dominated the headlines and social media online. Questions about what happened to Kate. Now she has answered them and said that while everyone is talking about where she is, she has actually been processing her cancer diagnosis and processing it with her family.
She has told the rest of the royal family. The king, who has also been diagnosed with cancer and is also undergoing treatment, has been informed. The royal family will line up the floats in a circle.
I think she will get a lot of support from her family and friends. She also said that William has been very supportive.
They are going away for a couple of weeks now with the three children for Easter. William will come back after the Easter holidays. And the Princess of Wales might come back.
She says she’s full of hope, she says she hopes she’ll be better. She’s told the kids she’ll be fine.
So we may see the Princess of Wales on engagements in the coming months, but we really need to give her time as she has asked to see how the preventive chemotherapy is working.
