After sharing news of her cancer diagnosis in March, Princess Kate retreated from the spotlight for the majority of 2024. In September, she announced that she'd completed chemotherapy and would be making a slow return to her official royal duties. Throughout the year, Kate Middleton found support in those around her, with two people making a particular difference to her life, says a royal expert.
"A year like they have just endured must, as William said, have been brutal for the entire family," former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine (via the Mirror). "But it seems clear that they have pulled together as a unit and they look very much in harmony and delighted to be out and about together again."
