Catherine, Princess of Wales revealed on Tuesday that she is in remission from cancer, following a visit to the London hospital where she was treated last year.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, said on Tuesday that her cancer was in remission, lifting a major cloud from the British royal family, which had struggled with serious health concerns for both her and King Charles III. “It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,” Catherine, the wife of Prince William, wrote on Instagram.

Britain's Princess of Wales says that her cancer is in remission, following a visit to hospital where she received treatment earlier this year.

Less than a year after royal officials announced that she would be undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatments following an unspecified cancer diagnosis, the former Kate Middleton has released a statement sharing that she is in remission and focused “on recovery.

The problem is that a complete remission does not mean the cancer is gone. Even when a cancer is “cured” — defined as no evidence of cancer for five years — it may not be vanquished.
