The Princess of Wales has said “it is a relief to now be in remission” from cancer and she is “looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead” as she thanked staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital for her “exceptional” care. In a touching personal message issued after a visit to the hospital in south west London, Kate said she was “focused on recovery”.
The princess said, in her message which were signed "C": "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. "I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.".
She added: “My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. We couldn't have asked for me.”. Kate spoke candidly about her own diagnosis, the "shock" of her "really tough" chemotherapy and the challenges of getting back to normal as she thanked her "amazing" medical teams for her care during her trip to the Marsden on Tuesday.
The princess, on her first major solo official engagement for more than a year, hugged Tina Adumou, who broke down in tears as she told Kate that her 19-year-old daughter is in the intensive care unit. Putting an arm around her, Kate looked emotional and told her she is in the best possible place.
