Kate Middleton said she's in remission from cancer.
On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales visited The Royal Marsden Hospital in London, speaking with patients and sharing that she received treatment there after her cancer diagnosis in 2024.
Kate posted about the visit on Instagram, thanking the staff for the care they gave her as she underwent chemotherapy.
"I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year," she said.
"My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything.
"We couldn't have asked for more," Kate said. "The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional."
In the same post, Kate announced that she was in remission.
"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery," she said in the post. "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support."
Kate announced in September that she had finished chemotherapy. She had said in March that she was undergoing cancer treatment. Weeks earlier, King Charles III said he also had cancer.
Prince William described 2024 as the "hardest year" of his life because of his wife's and father's diagnoses.
Kate shared her diagnosis after a lengthy absence from the public eye early in 2024, during which she underwent what the palace called "a planned abdominal surgery." Kate said in a video announcement last March that in post-operation testing her medical team discovered she had cancer and recommended she undergo preventive chemotherapy.
The Princess of Wales remained out of the public eye until June, when she attended Trooping the Colour with her family. She made her first solo appearance after her diagnosis at Wimbledon in July, and she attended royal engagements more regularly in the final months of the year.

William and Kate have also become Joint Patrons of The Royal Marsden. In her Instagram post, Kate said she hoped to use her new role to support "groundbreaking research and clinical excellence" and "patient and family wellbeing."
Kensington Palace didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
