Catherine, Princess of Wales, has announced that her cancer is in remission, marking a significant milestone in her health journey. 

Sharing the news on Tuesday through an Instagram post, she expressed gratitude to The Royal Marsden for their exceptional care during her treatment.  

“I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year,” she wrote.

Announcing her diagnosis in March 2024, she did not specify the type of cancer she was treating but described the diagnosis as “a huge shock” that hit her and her young family.

Reflecting on her new role as Joint Patron of the Royal Marsden, Catherine highlighted her commitment to advancing cancer research and supporting those affected by the disease. 

“My hope is that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer,” she said.  

She also shared her personal reflections on recovery. 

“It is a relief to now be in remission, and I remain focused on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,” the princess stated. “I am, however, looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”  

The princess previously revealed in September 2024 that she had completed chemotherapy, expressing her goal to remain cancer-free. At the time, Kensington Palace declined to confirm whether she had been declared medically free of cancer or was undergoing further treatment.
