“There are still a few more months” before Kate is cancer-free. Kate is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

Speaking openly about her health, Kate said: “I've been overwhelmed by all the kind messages of support and encouragement I've received.”

“It's really made a huge difference to William and I and has helped us get through some of the tougher times. I'm making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.”

Kate added: “On bad days, you feel weak, tired and you need to let your body rest. But on good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of wellness. My treatment is still ongoing and will last for a few more months. On days when I feel well enough, it's a joy to get on with school life, spend personal time on things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to work a little from home.

“I'm learning to be patient, especially with uncertainty. To accept each day as it comes, to listen to my body and allow myself to take this much needed time to heal. Thank you so much for your continued understanding and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.”
