Kate Middleton has updated royal fans on her health, taking to Instagram to share the news that she is in remission after battling cancer for almost a year. The mother-of-three shared the news after a solo visit to Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea.

The Princess of Wales thanked the doctors and nurses who cared for her, saying she is starting to "adjust to the new normal" and is looking forward to what 2025 brings. She added that it is a "relief" to be in remission.

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

"My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional."

She added, "In my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, 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.

"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. 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. C."

Royal fans shared their well wishes for Kate in the comments, with one saying, "Such a beautiful message and a very meaningful visit for The Princess! Glad to hear you’re in remission. Continuing to pray for strength, health and happiness for you and your family throughout the year."

"Beautiful message! It's incredible to see the Princess Of Wales back!" another wrote.

"Such happy news! So wonderful to see you connecting with the patients and staff Wishing you continued healing and good health," a third said.

"Thank you for the grace and strength you’ve shown through this daunting experience," someone else wrote. "We are praying and cheering for you! Stay well!"

"From personal experience, I know that it’s not easy to walk back into the treatment centre after your treatment is finished," one person shared. "Those rooms hold a lot of emotional memories. I salute you and wish you continued good health."

It comes after reports late last year that William is reportedly 'putting his foot down' to protect Kate and slow down her return to work, despite the Princess of Wales being keen to get back to her duties. Kate announced in September that she is "cancer-free" after battling the disease for the better part of the year.

A royal source told Heat, "Kate’s longing to get out there and make up for lost time and help as many causes and individuals as she possibly can now that she’s got her strength back. She’s also anxious to pitch in and support King Charles and Queen Camilla, who’s also been poorly."

However, William wants Kate to take things easy and focus on her recovery.

"For obvious reasons, he wants this to be put in perspective alongside her own recovery," the insider shared. "He's putting his foot down and urging Kate to draft a schedule that puts herself first, no excuses."

"[2025] is going to be a very big year, and ideally William would love it if Kate's able to carry out her engagements as close to normal as possible. But he's also crystal clear that her health comes first, and he's let everyone around them know that he doesn't want her to dive back in too quickly."

Apparently, William is nervous Kate will "overdo it and put her health at risk", because she's still "fragile".

The Palace has been ordered not to "overload" Kate's schedule, with the insider saying, "He's urging Kate to stay focused on her steady recovery rather than putting too much on her plate."

"He just wants to be sure she feels supported without unnecessary pressure."
