Kate Middleton announced in March she was having treatment after cancer was found following abdominal surgery she underwent at the start of the year.
Announcing her return, Kate shared a picture of herself on X (formerly Twitter) and said, “I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.”
She had said, “I'm looking forward to attending The King's Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”
