Heartbreaking, yet inspiring at the same time.
The little daughter clinging to her mum fir dear life.

Dignified, moving, and fun.

I have also just watched it, is is a beautiful video and very inspiring. What a lovely family they are and the love for each other shines through.

Just watched it.

So different to how we so often see the Royals.

Just a loving family, good to see the Middletons there, what a worry for them, their beloved daughter.

So hope all continues to go well for her,
and for so many thousands of others suffering with cancer.

Heartwarming to hear her chemotherapy is now completed and she is hoping to return to duties (Remembrance service, her Christmas carol service) later in the year..

A lovely video.

I’m so relieved. I was getting worried that she’d been outof the public eye for so long ( apart from Wimbledon) so when I came in from shopping, turned the tv in and saw the news was full of news about her my heart sank.

What a lovely heartwarming video. They’ve all been through so much, especially her parents. Thank goodness they are a close family full of love and support.

Fingers crossed for a continued recovery.

It was a lovely video and a great relief too.

Very moving, Katherine is a very classy lady.

Goodness knows I loved our late Queen and the dignity and loyalty she brought to the role of monarch.

The Wales' though are bringing the Royal Family kicking and screaming into the 21st Century and whilst we all know they'll never actually live like the rest of us, they're definitely showing that they're as close as they can get to being "normal", loving parents with "normal" family values. Making themselves relatable can only be a good thing.

I hope The Princess of Wales continues to make a successful recovery. She comes across as a lovely young woman and an asset to the Royals. And her family need her. smile

Such a relief to see this video today. I've been wondering and worrying about her. What a lovely family they are.

Jaxjacky Mon 09-Sept-24 18:47:08

You’re right ferry23 the video speaks so well, I wish her and her family a healthy future.
I wonder if that’s why the King and Queen looked so jolly at the weekend, a relief all round.

So beautiful and inspiring. It gives hope to everyone experiencing cancer and chemotherapy. Such a lovely young family. Wishing the Princess of Wales a healthy future and continued fun and happiness with Prince William, their delightful children and all the family. ♥️

I’m very happy that Catherine, Princess of Wales is doing well, not yet cancer free but feeling able to carry out her royal duties.
I remember my wonderful daughter in law going through cancer and losing her confidence in a future at only 40 years of age. So sad.
Every year as her children celebrate a birthday she shows how grateful she is to still be with them. Nothing taken for granted.
I hope as time goes on she will begin to feel more confident in a future.
I hope the same for the Princess of Wales and any other young person facing this horrid illness.

It was a beautiful video. Really charming.Kate really does look very well now.

crazyH Mon 09-Sept-24 19:29:44

Such a brave young woman, as is LauraNorderr’s daughter and all going through cancer treatment. Be strong flowers

RosiesMaw2 Mon 09-Sept-24 19:36:34

Isn’t it lovely?
The obvious affection and love they all have for each other is so natural and uplifting
Having just watched my way through The Crown I found the episodes involving the boy’ devastation on losing their mother quite heartbreaking (and of her “leaving” them) and I found myself hoping and praying that history was not going to repeat itself for George, Charlotte and Louis.

RosiesMaw2 Mon 09-Sept-24 19:39:21

“Boys’ “of course

Kate is an inspirational woman who gives hope in dark times. It is good to see her getting well and facing the next phase of her recovery bravely and positively.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but does anyone know what cancer it was ?

westendgirl Mon 09-Sept-24 20:28:24

An inspiring,heart warming video, full of love and hope.
