Kate Middleton has spoken candidly about the 'chemo brain' she experienced during her cancer treatment in 2024, telling patients at a Manchester hospital in June 2026 that she 'didn't really have the ability to read' and instead turned to simple colouring to get her through the worst days.
For context, the Princess of Wales' remarks surfaced in a newly shared clip from her visit to The Christie in Manchester, one of Europe's largest specialist cancer centres, where she spent time with patients in an art therapy room. The royal, who revealed in early 2025 that she was in remission after undergoing treatment at The Royal Marsden, has gradually returned to public duties while also choosing to speak more openly about what cancer actually did to her mind and daily life.
