Kate Middleton quietly returns to work after completing cancer treatment
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has quietly resumed her royal duties after completing her preventative chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The 42-year-old royal attended an Early Years Meeting at Windsor Castle on Tuesday (local time), marking her first official work engagement since her health battle. The Early Years initiative is a project close to Middleton's heart, as she has previously described it as "her life's work."
Middleton's future engagements
According to The Times, Middleton plans to undertake "a handful" of duties in the coming months, provided her health allows. She is also expected to make an appearance at the Remembrance Sunday service on November 10 and host her annual carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December. These events are significant as they demonstrate Middleton's commitment to her royal responsibilities despite her recent health challenges.
Middleton's cancer journey
Middleton revealed her cancer diagnosis in March this year, following months of speculation about her absence from public life. She underwent major abdominal surgery at the London Clinic in January but was not diagnosed with cancer until after the operation. The Royal Family has not disclosed the type of cancer Middleton was battling. Despite her health struggles, the Princess of Wales made several public appearances before officially resuming work.
Middleton's statement on completing chemotherapy
In a social media post on September 9, Middleton announced that she had completed her chemotherapy and was "cancer-free." She said, "I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment." "Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes."
