Princess Catherine reveals she’s in remission

The Princess of Wales also thanked well-wishers for their support.

Princess Catherine has shared the wonderful news that she’s in remission. 

The Princess of Wales undertook her first solo trip since 2023 on January 14, 2025. She visited The Royal Marsden — the hospital that first diagnosed and treated her cancer. 

Catherine spent over an hour at the medical institution, which is the first hospital in the world to have a dedicated cancer centre. While there the princess spoke with nurses, doctors and cancer patients.

She then took to her and Prince William’s official Instagram to thank The Royal Marsden. She also revealed that she’s taking on a new role.

“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,” the princess began. 

“We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional. 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,” she continued. 

Catherine also shared the news of her remission and thanked everyone for their support over the past year. 

“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.”

The Princess of Wales first shared that she’d been diagnosed with cancer in March 2024. 

Doctors found the cancer while she underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024. 

Catherine finished a round of “preventative chemotherapy” in September 2024. 

At the time, the princess said, “This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
