Princess Catherine of Wales announced in March 2024 that she was suffering from cancer. He said the news was a “big shock”. The beginning of the year had been extremely difficult for the entire royal family.
Over the summer, Catherine has been seen making a few delightful public appearances. He appeared with a big smile on his face and seemed well.
He made his first appearance after the news of his cancer diagnosis in mid-June at the Trooping the Color parade celebrating King Charles’ birthday.
– I hope to be able to participate in a few public appearances during the summer, but I know that I am not “in the clear” yet, Catherine wrote when confirming her participation in the parade.
Now insider sources tell the Daily Mail what the princess’s true condition is like and how her recovery has progressed.

The princess’s preventive chemotherapy will continue at least through the summer and her recovery will take several months. After the summer appearances, it has been possible to wonder when Catherine will return to regular public appearances.
Court insiders emphasize that Catherine’s full-time return to her duties is still far in the future.
– We are not at that stage yet. Catherine said before Trooping the Color that her treatments will continue through the summer, and so it is, an insider told the Daily Mail.
– This has been a tough, very tough time. A really difficult year for the whole family, and as he himself said, he is not “in the clear” yet, the source states.
Kensington Palace hopes to provide some guidance in the future on what the princess’ return to a more regular workload might look like.
– The direction of recovery is positive, but no major changes are expected. No one has set a timetable for his return.

The Daily Mail’s sources reveal that Catherine has actually been unwell for some time prior to her stomach surgery in January.
The sources emphasize what a difficult time this has been, although the princess has hidden her suffering well.
– I don’t think people understand how much he has been through behind the scenes and for how long – much longer than anyone realizes, the source says.
– She is an incredibly strong woman, but has been through real battles.
Another source tells the magazine that the continuation of treatments is key for both the princess and the entire family. After the end of the treatments, the condition does not improve just by flipping a switch, but the princess still requires recovery.
According to the Daily Mail, the princess continues to make a slow recovery and will work as she feels she is strong enough. He will likely continue to attend key national events such as Remembrance Sunday celebrations.

The year overshadowed by cancer treatments has naturally been tough for Prince William as well. In addition to his wife’s cancer diagnosis, he has also had to protect his children, deal with his father’s cancer diagnosis and prepare to become heir to the crown.
In February, it was reported that King Charles also has cancer.
According to information from the Daily Mail, the family has deliberately taken time to spend more time together as a family this summer.
– They have enjoyed a wonderful summer in Norfolk and Sandringham estate. Being outside, cycling, sailing and spending time with friends have brought color back to their cheeks.
It is hoped that soon the family will also be able to travel to Balmoral in the traditional way for a family summer vacation together. William will return to work as soon as the children start school again.
