Jessie J shared her diagnosis of “early breast cancer” in June and later told fans that a successful surgery showed the cancer had not spread.

Princess Kate’s Cancer Journey

Princess Kate announced in March 2024 that she was undergoing cancer treatment. By September, she shared the positive news that she was cancer-free.

“I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” she wrote on X at the time. “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.”

She added that she was “looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”

Wednesday’s Royal Variety Performance became the first time she and Prince William walked a red carpet together in two years.

Returning to Public Life

The Princess of Wales — who shares Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with Prince William — officially returned to work in September 2024 after completing preventative chemotherapy.

In July, while visiting Colchester Hospital in Essex, she opened up about navigating life after treatment.

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” she said.

“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,” she explained.

Middleton also shared words of encouragement.

“You have to find your new normal and that takes time…and it’s a roller coaster, it’s not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times.”
