A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.

With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.

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.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.

To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light so let that light shine bright.

Like Meghan, Katherine deserves dignity from readers.

I prayed for Princess Katherine. That she would be healed. Especially a child or a mom with young children should not suffer any cancer!
I pray for Princess Kate’s continued remission!

An important visit to the Anna Freud Centre highlighting the launch of a new project between @earlychildhood, The Institute of Health Visiting and Anna Freud.

This programme will enhance the skills of health visitors and those who work alongside them to support early social and emotional development, ensuring more babies and young children build the foundations for lifelong wellbeing. Grounded in evidence and shaped by practitioners, professional leaders, and families, the programme reflects a shared commitment to nurturing relationships in the earliest years.

An insightful afternoon discussing the vital role of relationships and connection in shaping children and young people’s mental health at the Anna Freud Centre.

Proud to introduce a new project between Anna Freud and The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood to strengthen the skills of health visitors in supporting early social and emotional development. A pleasure meeting the families who helped shape the curriculum and marking the appointment of Peter Fonagy as President of the Anna Freud Centre.

Honoured to celebrate Africa’s conservation heroes at this year’s Tusk Awards.

Rooted in community-led action and trauma-informed practice, Youth Shedz empowers young people to discover their potential, develop skills, and make a positive impact. From VR and digital media to mechanics and art, every ‘Shed’ is shaped by the voices of its young people.

Great to see how this network is transforming lives and communities across North Wales.

Ymwneud â gwaith a phobl ifanc anhygoel Youth Shedz Cymru.

Mudiad sy’n creu lleoedd diogel a chreadigol lle all pobl ifanc fagu hunaniaeth, teimlad o berthyn a phwrpas. Wedi’i seilio ar weithredu cymunedol ac ymarfer sy’n ystyriol o drawma, mae Youth Shedz yn grymuso pobl ifanc i ddatgloi eu potensial, datblygu sgiliau a chael effaith gadarnhaol.

Gwych oedd gweld sut mae’r rhwydwaith hwn yn newid bywydau a chymunedau ledled gogledd Cymru.

A pleasure meeting the local community and learning about Ocean Literacy with the Marine Conservation Society on Colwyn Bay.

This is a concept that highlights our influence on the ocean and its influence on us. Hugely encouraging to see that positive social change is being powered by collective action. Connecting communities with the ocean, and driving sustainable choices for healthier seas.

Pleser oedd cyfarfod â’r gymuned leol a dysgu am Lythrennedd Morol gyda’r Gymdeithas Cadwraeth Forol yn Bae Colwyn.

Cysyniad yw hwn sy’n pwysleisio ein dylanwad ar y môr, a dylanwad y môr arnom ninnau. Calonogol dros ben oedd gweld bod gweithredu torfol yn cyflawni newid cymdeithasol cadarnhaol. Cysylltu cymunedau â’r môr a hyrwyddo dewisiadau cynaliadwy dros foroedd iachach.

Great to be back in North Wales and a first visit to Colwyn Bay!

Starting the day hearing about the work of the Marine Conservation Society on the Welsh seafront. A brilliant environmental charity that’s been dedicated to protecting the ocean for over 40 years.

Amazing to also hear about their Youth Ocean Network — a passionate group of young people driving change and shaping the future of ocean conservation.

Inspiring work that shows the power of people coming together to protect our planet.

Mor braf bod yn ôl yng ngogledd Cymru unwaith eto a chael ymweld â Bae Colwyn am y tro cyntaf!

Cawsom ddechrau da i’r diwrnod yn clywed am waith y Gymdeithas Cadwraeth Forol ar arfordir Cymru. Dyma elusen wych sydd wedi bod yn amddiffyn y môr ers dros 40 mlynedd.

Arbennig oedd clywed hefyd am eu Rhwydwaith Cefnfor Ieuenctid — grŵp o bobl ifanc brwd yn hyrwyddo newid ac yn llywio dyfodol cadwraeth y môr.

Am waith ysbrydoledig sy’n dangos grym pobl yn dwyn ynghyd i amddiffyn ein planed.

Proud to be Patron of the Forward Trust this Addiction Awareness Week. Addiction is not a choice, or a personal failing, but a complex mental health condition that should be met with empathy and support.
