Kate’s Diagnosis

The Princess of Wales shared the diagnosis of her illness earlier this year shocking her fans and loved ones around the globe. No official statement has been released by the Palace regarding the type of cancer Kate has.

The cancer was found during a planned abdominal surgery that took place in January this year. Her cancer diagnosis in Kate’s own words came as a “huge shock” and they aimed to “manage things privately for the sake of their young family.”

Chemotherapy Sessions

Kate Middleton finally got done with her chemotherapy sessions in September that took place earlier this year. The chemotherapy was more of a “preventative” type which focused on stopping the cancer from recurring.

In Kate’s June 2024 statement, she said, “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”

Who Else was There With the Princess

The Princess of course had to be supported by the Royal Family members. Kate Middleton and Prince William were seen side-by-side throughout the event.

King Charles III was also present at the event and received a standing ovation, given his ongoing fight with cancer. The family put on a united front and celebrated the cause with full vigor.

What was Prince William Wearing

Prince William who was seen side by side with the Princess of Wales was wearing a military dress for the respectable occasion. The Prince opted for the Royal Airforce uniform.

This attire was complemented by a greatcoat. The Prince was looking dapper for sure with the perfect hint of elegance.

Where was Queen Camilla?

Queen Camilla wasn’t seen with King Charles at the Festival Remembrance Day. This was because the queen had a chest infection which made it extremely difficult for her to attend the event.

The palace released a statement on Saturday that stated that the Queen’s absence was due to medical reasons and that her illness (seasonal chest infection) was viral. Charles excused the crowd on her behalf and sent the Queen’s well-wishes to everyone.

Tender Moments Between the Couple

The Prince and Princess didn’t leave each other’s side throughout the event. According to the body language experts on the internet, the couple were nothing but affectionate towards each other.
