Kate, Princess of Wales, made her first public appearance on Sunday, September 22, 2024, following her cancer treatment. She attended church with her husband, Prince William, and other members of the royal family, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, at Balmoral, the royal family’s Scottish estate.
Kate, 42, had revealed earlier in September that she had completed chemotherapy after being diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer. The announcement came six months after she stepped back from her public duties. Her return marks an important moment for the royal family, especially as it follows the news of King Charles III’s own treatment for cancer.
While the princess had limited her appearances during treatment, she made notable public engagements at Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July, where she received a standing ovation from the crowd.
In her video statement, Kate acknowledged that her recovery process would take time, and she plans to ease back into her royal responsibilities with a few engagements through the rest of the year.
