Kate Middleton accompanied her statement with footage of her husband, three children and her parents on holiday.
The last nine months, the princess said in her statement, have been “incredibly difficult” for her family.
“Life, as you know, can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy currents and unknown roads. This is a difficult, scary and unpredictable path for everyone, especially for those closest to us,” she said.
The princess thanked everyone for their support, including her family, and stressed that the experience reminded her and Prince William “of the need to reflect and be grateful for the simple but important things in life that many of us often take for granted. Just to love and be loved.”
According to Catherine, she is now going to “do everything possible to stay healthy”. The princess stressed that although chemotherapy is over, “the road to full recovery is long, and I must continue to take each day as it comes.”
“I look forward to returning to work and, when I am able, to taking part in several public events in the coming months. To all those who continue their fight against cancer, I stand with you, side by side, shoulder to shoulder. Light can come out of darkness, so let that light shine brightly,” said Kate.
