The Wales family has endured a difficult 2024, with the Princess of Wales confirming her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, and taking a subsequent break from duties to focus on her recovery.
“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment," Princess Kate explained in a rare video message to update the public on her health. "My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery."
