• Kate also announced her plans to gradually resume her public duties in the coming months.

Princess Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has successfully completed her chemotherapy treatment.

She shared the news on social media, expressing her relief with the message, "As summer draws to a close, I can't express how relieved I am to have finally finished my chemotherapy."

Kate also announced her plans to gradually resume her public duties in the coming months.

In a video posted on the royal family's official social media accounts, Kate can be seen spending quality time with her three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Her full message stressed the challenges her family faced during this period, stating, "The past nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life can change in an instant, and we've had to navigate through stormy waters and unfamiliar territory. The cancer journey is complex, frightening, and unpredictable, especially for those closest to you. It forces you to confront your vulnerabilities in ways you never imagined, bringing a new perspective on life."

Despite completing her chemotherapy, Kate acknowledged that her healing journey is far from over, saying, "This experience has reminded William and me to appreciate the simple, yet important things in life that we often take for granted—like loving and being loved. My focus now is on staying cancer-free, and while I've finished chemotherapy, my path to full recovery is still long. I must take each day as it comes, but I'm looking forward to returning to work and participating in a few public engagements in the coming months."

Kate remains optimistic as she enters this new phase of recovery, adding, "Despite everything that's happened, I face this new chapter with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation for life. William and I are incredibly grateful for the support we've received, which has given us great strength. Everyone's kindness, empathy, and compassion have been truly humbling. To those who are continuing their own cancer journey, I stand with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, light can emerge, so let that light shine brightly."
