Inside Kate Middleton's "Extra Special" Mother's Day Celebrations With Prince William and Family

Kate Middleton shares rare family footage.

After navigating what has been one of the most challenging periods of her life, Princess Kate certainly deserved a day of simple pleasures as the Royal Family celebrated Mother's Day on Sunday, March 30. With Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte on a school break at the moment, the family has plenty of time to relax and rejuvenate—and one royal expert noted how this year will be even more "special" after Kate has fought cancer.

The Princess of Wales announced her cancer diagnosis just after Mothering Sunday in the U.K. last March, but prior to that, she was faced with even more stress due to a photo editing controversy related to her 2024 Mother's Day photo. The princess—who had been out of the public eye since Christmas 2023 due to a planned abdominal surgery, and later, her cancer news—shared a photo of herself with her three children to mark the holiday.
