The Wales family has endured a challenging 2024, with the Princess of Wales confirming her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, following planned abdominal surgery. And taking a subsequent leave of absence to focus on her recovery, the 42-year-old mother of three has been absent from royal life for the majority of 2024.
Now having completed her chemotherapy treatment, Princess Kate has returned to her royal role, crediting husband Prince William as a "great source of comfort and reassurance" during her illness.
