Catherine, Princess of Wales announced Monday that she had completed her course of chemotherapy following a shock cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
“I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” Kate, as she is often called, said in a message on X and Instagram.
The princess, 42, said the last nine months had been “incredibly tough” for the family — her husband Prince William and their children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
“Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” she said.
Catherine added that “doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus”.
“Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” she said.
“I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”
Catherine announced in March that she was undergoing a course of “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed cancer.
The announcement came just weeks after it was disclosed that British head of state King Charles III had also been diagnosed with cancer.
Charles, 75, was given the green light to resume public duties in April after doctors said they were “very encouraged” by his progress.
