<p id=”par-1_46″>Back in 2024, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/kate-middleton/?swcfpc=1″>Kate Middleton</a> made the difficult announcement that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Although the Princess of Wales has never revealed her cancer type, she has been transparent with the public that she underwent <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kate-middleton-reveals-needed-cancer-treatment.html/”>several months of chemotherapy</a> and is now in remission.</p>
<p id=”par-2_38″>Kate formally announced her remission in January 2025 and said that she is excited for a “fulfilling” year ahead. A source close to the princess revealed how Kate is moving forward now that her treatment is behind her.</p>

<p id=”par-3_79″>Back in early 2024, Kate underwent abdominal surgery, which required several months of recovery, However, during that recovery time, Kate was not seen in the spotlight at all, leading some to suspect that something had happened between her and her husband, Prince William. Eventually, about two months after her January surgery, Kate revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer. The princess subsequently underwent chemotherapy and remained mostly out of the public eye until the end of summer 2024.</p>
<p id=”par-4_37″>Kate announced in January 2025 that she was officially in remission, which led to an outpouring of love and support for the future queen. Now, an insider close to the queen has revealed <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kate-middleton-royal-duties-wont-look-expected-steering-new-course-balancing-work-life.html/”>Kate’s priorities moving forward</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-5_77″>“For the princess, family — her husband and children — are more important than anything else,” the source told <a href=”https://people.com/kate-middleton-life-remission-moving-forward-positivity-hope-exclusive-8777611″>People</a>, also revealing that the journey was “harder” than any of them had originally thought. “She has been through a lot, and it has been a rough road. Serious illness like cancer does change you. She has a young family, and it makes you rethink everything — your purpose and what you want to do with your life.”</p>
