AceShowbiz - Kate Middleton remains cautious about her health progress while announcing her plans to return to public duties. Sharing an update on her condition, the Princess of Wales admits that she's "not out of the woods yet," but she intends to attend Trooping the Colour that will mark her first official public appearance since Christmas.
On Friday, June 14, the wife of Prince William let out a new photo of her via their official Instagram page. Along with the picture that was taken in Windsor, she wrote a lengthy letter detailing her "good days and bad days" during her ongoing treatment.
"I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months," Kate started the letter. "It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times."
"I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days," she revealed. "On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well."
The mother of three continued, "My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home."
The 42-year-old further stated, "I'm looking forward to attending The King's Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet."
"I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal," she shared, before concluding her message, "Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me."
After penning the candid message, Kate has received support from many people, including Princess Eugenie, who liked the post.
Trooping the Colour, King Charles' official birthday celebration, will take place this Saturday, June 15. She is expected to ride in a horse-drawn carriage for the procession down The Mall with her children, Princess George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and watch the parade from the Major General's Office. Kate will then appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony with King Charles, Prince William and more as the family gathers to watch the Royal Air Force's flypast over the city.
