On February 4, 2026, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, delivered a poignant message in honor of World Cancer Day.
Having been diagnosed with cancer herself in early 2024, the now 44-year-old royal has emerged victorious over her health battle. In light of her personal experience, she extended her heartfelt support to those currently navigating similar challenges.
Catherine, Princess of Wales has shared a message on social media
In an Instagram video, the Princess expressed, “Today, on World Cancer Day, I am thinking of everyone who is confronting a cancer diagnosis, undergoing treatments, or finding their path to recovery. Cancer impacts countless lives—not just those who are diagnosed but also their families, friends, and caregivers who are by their side.”
“For anyone who’s been on this journey, you know it’s far from straightforward. There are times filled with fear and exhaustion, but also moments of incredible resilience, kindness, and deep connection,” she continued.
“As anyone who has experienced this journey will know, it’s not linear. There are moments of fear and exhaustion. But also moments of strength, kindness, and profound connection.
“Today is a reminder of the importance of care, understanding and hope. Please know you are not alone.”
The Princess announced in early 2025 that she was in remission from cancer.
Catherine took to social media to reflect on her emotional return to the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London, where she received treatment for cancer.
She wrote on X at the time: “I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year.
“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. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional.
“In my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, my hope is, that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer.
“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery. 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. C (sic)”
