00:00Princess Catherine has been spotted in public several times this summer, but she's still
00:05undergoing cancer treatments. How long has she been sick, and when will she emerge from
00:10treatment?
00:11It was announced in January 2024 that Kate Middleton was stepping back from the public
00:16eye after abdominal surgery. The months following brought forth an uptick in conspiracy theories
00:21about Kate, partially due to an edited family photo. She set the record straight in March
00:272024 when she announced her heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.
00:32The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been
00:37present.
00:38New details about the timeline of Kate's health issues show that she may have been dealing
00:42with her illness longer than initially thought. An insider spoke with the Daily Mail and said,
00:47I don't think people realize how much she has gone through behind the scenes and for
00:51how long — far longer than anyone actually appreciates. She's an incredibly strong woman,
00:57but she really has been through the wars. Her treatment and recovery is still a priority
01:02and will be ongoing for some time to come.
01:05Another insider confirmed the main focus for Kate and her family was her treatment, and
01:09an additional source made it clear Kate would not be heading back into full royal duties
01:13anytime soon.
01:15Kate has been living a very private life while going through her cancer treatments. However,
01:20she has attended two engagements throughout the summer of 2024. The day before the Trooping
01:25the Color celebrations in June, Kate posted on Instagram to give an update on how she
01:30was doing, writing,
01:32I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are
01:36good days and bad days.
01:38The princess talked a bit more about that and how she was able to do some work remotely,
01:43before adding,
01:44I'm looking forward to attending the King's Birthday Parade this weekend with my family
01:48and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am
01:52not out of the woods yet.
01:55The princess looked radiant at Trooping the Color 2024.
01:58Guys, she looked absolutely stunning.
02:01Then, in July, Kate stunned in purple at Wimbledon. The month after, Life & Style shared rumors
02:07that in September 2024, Kate will be traveling with Prince William to the Earthshot Prize
02:12Innovation Summit in New York City. An insider said,
02:15Kate is very excited to be getting back in the swing of royal duties.
02:20However, it's unconfirmed if Kate will travel with William or not. Sources say Kate will
02:25undertake an annual summer trip. A royal family friend told the Daily Beast that Kate was
02:30planning on joining William, their children, and the rest of the royal family at Balmoral
02:34in Scotland for the traditional family hunting trip. The trip usually starts August 12. Journalist
02:40Phil Dampier told The Sun,
02:42The fact that Kate is well enough to travel to Scotland and enjoy a holiday at Balmoral
02:46is a sure sign she is on the mend and a very positive step.
02:51As for future engagements, an anonymous insider from Buckingham Palace told the Daily Beast,
02:56There is still nothing in her diary. My understanding is that people are going to have to get used
03:00to seeing a lot less of Kate. They said her kids were what she was paying the most attention
03:06to.
03:07No matter when she returns to royal engagements, Kate attending Trooping the Color and Wimbledon
03:11may indicate better health. A friend of Kate and William's told the Daily Beast,
03:17That is what we are hearing privately as well. It's not over, but there is lots of optimism,
03:21lots of positivity. They said she was continuing chemotherapy and added,
03:26It is obviously still an incredibly worrying time, but all the signs are that her cancer
03:30treatment, which is ongoing, is progressing well.
