Princess Catherine – Has Completed Chemotherapy
The Princess of Wales announced in March that she was undergoing the grueling therapy after doctors found evidence of cancer during a planned abdominal surgery in January. Between her two announcements Kate appeared in a public role just twice: at Wimbledon and at Trooping the Colour.
In her latest video Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, were featured and this surprised some people.

Royal Family News – Kate’s Family Is Close
Victoria says of the Middletons: “They’re not working royals. They don’t have any kind of public profile. And that really shifted the tone for me into this ‘is this a personal thing?’ This is about their family.”
She added that Kate was “showing us her village” by including “the people who have been here day in, day out as I’ve been going through this journey.’” The 42-year-old future queen chose to film the video in Norfolk, where the Wales family lives, this summer.
Kate was photographed driving the two couples to Crathie Kirk Church, and wore a brown checked coat, while William wore a tailored suit and a blue tie.
In her emotional September 9 video, Princess Catherine shared that her experience with cancer has been “incredibly tough” for her family, but they found “a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.” It is thought that Kate will now begin a lightened spate of royal events as the year winds down.
