Why Kate's cancer journey and recovery has been 'harder' than expected

Catherine, Princess of Wales attends The "Together At Christmas" Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 08, 2023 in London, England.

Princess Kate's cancer journey was 'harder' than expected for her and her family, according to one source. The Princess of Wales was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024, and underwent chemotherapy in the summer before officially sharing that she had completed her treatment in the autumn. However, William has stressed that Kate still has 'a long way to go' and during a recent engagement, Kate spoke about the 'tough' reality of her treatment.

"It has been a tough journey — harder than we perhaps thought," one insider told People. "She has been through a lot, and it has been a rough road. Serious illness like cancer does change you. She has a young family, and it makes you rethink everything — your purpose and what you want to do with your life."
