Kate’s touching video with her family
In the just over three-minute video posted on Kensington Palace’s social media accounts the Princess of Wales said: “I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. 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 road unknown.
“The cancer journey is complex, scary, and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you. With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
Kate added that she is focused on staying “cancer-free” and acknowledged that her “path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.” She concluded with the quote: “Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.”
