LONDON.- Kate Middleton, the wife of Crown Prince William, sent her first message after the announcement about his cancer diagnosis in March. In a message on his social networks, along with a unpublished photo, said His chemotherapy treatment is making “good progress,” but he is “not out of danger,” and he announced that his intention is to participate this Saturday in the important royal event “Trooping the Color.” in what it would be his first public event since Christmas.
The wife of Prince Guillermo, 42 years old, has not made any public appearance this year. In March, amid strong speculation about her health, The Princess of Wales announced that she was receiving chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer.
In a personal written message posted on Friday, Kate said she had been “blown away” by the thousands of kind messages she received from around the world following her cancer announcement in March.
“I’m making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days,” Kate said in a statement released Friday, adding that He faces “a few more months” of treatment.
“I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join in on some public engagements over the summer [boreal]”But I also know that I’m not out of the woods yet.” Kate said.
About her treatment, Kate said that on the “bad days” she feels weak and tired, and that on the “good days” she wants to “make the most of it.” “On days when I feel pretty good, It is a pleasure to get involved with school life, dedicate personal time to the things that give me energy and positivity, in addition to starting to work a little from home”.
In the post on the couple’s X account there is also a new photo of the princess, which shows Kate wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a blazer, standing under a tree on the Windsor estate, west of London, where the family home is located and where she is convalescing.
The announcement is an important milestone, but it does not mark Kate’s return to full-time public duties.
If Kate Middleton attends the royal parade tomorrow, it will be his first public appearance since last December, when he joined other royals for an annual church service on Christmas Day.
Kate will accompany her three children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte, in a carriage during Saturday’s “Trooping the Color.” an annual military parade held in central London to mark the monarch’s official birthday. He will also join King Charles, Queen Camilla and the other senior members of the family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, the high-profile pinnacle of the event.
Kate spent two weeks in the hospital in January after undergoing major abdominal surgery, and two months later he announced in a video message that tests had revealed the presence of cancer and that he would begin treatment for preventive chemotherapy.
His office, Kensington Palace, He declined to give more details about the type of cancer or his treatment, except to say that preventive chemotherapy had started in February.
His illness has coincided with that of Carlos, 75 years old, who is also undergoing cancer treatment. The monarch returned to public duties in April and has kept busy, although his daily commitments are being limited to minimize the risks to his recovery.
The king was delighted to learn that Kate would attend Saturday’s parade, a royal source said. Kensington Palace also said that William was pleased to see Kate beginning to return to work and the projects that were so important to her.
“He will continue to focus his time on providing for his wife and children, while continuing to perform his public duties,” a spokesperson said.
