Shortly after that appearance, Kate was hospitalized in mid-January for what Kensington Palace described as a “planned abdominal surgery.”

After taking time off from public duties to recover, Kate shared in a recorded video message in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer. She said at the time that the cancer had been discovered in post-operative tests after her abdominal surgery.

The type of cancer has not been disclosed. According to Kensington Palace, Kate started a course of preventative chemotherapy in late February.

In announcing her diagnosis, Kate described how it had impacted her family, saying, “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
