In 2024, Princess Kate largely stayed out of the public eye as she was treated for cancer. Aside from attending a few major events like Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon, the Princess of Wales wasn't seen until autumn after she announced she'd finished chemotherapy. While Kensington Palace has been sending press releases about her royal visits this year, they made a change to their usual procedure on Thursday, Feb. 20.
Until now, any news on the Princess of Wales's 2025 duties has been strictly embargoed—and in the cases of her visit to the Royal Marsden hospital and her participation in a Holocaust memorial ceremony, Kate's appearances weren't announced ahead of time at all. But on Thursday, the palace sent out a press release stating that the Prince and Princess of Wales would be making a joint trip to Pontypridd, Wales on Wednesday, Feb. 26.
