Kate Middleton has written a very personal message to the nation, providing an update on its ongoing battle against the US cancer.

The Princess of Wales announced this in March would undergo ‘preventive’ chemotherapy for a cancer diagnosis and step back from public life.

However, to the excitement of the public, she has now revealed that she will be attending the Trooping of the Color tomorrow – her first public appearance in months.

In the moving statement, she wrote:

‘I have been overwhelmed by all the lovely messages of support and encouragement over the past few months.

‘It really has made a world of difference to William and I and has helped us both through the tougher times.’

It continued: ‘I am making good progress, but as anyone undergoing chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days.

‘On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you need to rest your body. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of your good feelings.

‘My treatment is still ongoing and will last a few more months. On the days when I feel well enough, it’s a joy to get busy with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, and start some work from home.

‘I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade with my family this weekend and hope to take part in some public performances this summer, but I also know I’m not out of the woods yet.

‘I’m learning to be patient, especially when it comes to uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body and allowing myself to take some much needed time to heal.

“Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who so courageously shared your stories with me.”
