Kate Middleton is sharing how thankful she is as the Christmas holiday’s approach.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the royal’s account shared photos that showed pieces of a personal letter that the Princess of Wales will be sharing at Westminster Abbey’s Christmas Carol Service on Friday.
“A message of gratitude and hope – reflecting on the power of love, empathy, and the strength we find in one another,” the Instagram post’s caption read.
And followers were both touched by the royal’s effort to connect with people and excited for the carol service.
“A letter for the people from the cool Catherine is very special and reaches people on different levels with magic!!” one commenter wrote. “Simply beautiful!!!”
“I can not wait for tomorrow,” another added, while a third said, “I love them every year.”
The message, signed “Catherine,” comes as eyes have been on the mom-of-three following her 2024 cancer diagnosis.
Kate Middleton’s Cancer Journey
The royal, 43, shared publicly that she was diagnosed with cancer in March of 2024 following a scheduled abdominal surgery that led to her absence from various royal events.
Middleton also shared an update in September of that year, explaining that her cancer journey was “incredibly tough for us as a family,” and said that she and Prince William had to “find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
She announced in the beginning of this year that she was in remission in an Instagram post thanking her medical team.
While she’s kept specifics private, having never shared the specific type of cancer she was diagnosed with, Middleton has shared her struggles in conversation with others.
“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatments done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’” Middleton said at the 2024 Royal Ascot. “But actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.”
