William gives Kate health update and says she’s been ‘amazing’ this year

Prince William has today given an update about his wife’s health, describing her as ‘amazing’.

For almost a year the Princess of Wales has been battling cancer after revealing in March that she was having preventative chemotherapy following the discovery of pre-cancerous cells.

She has since completed a course of the treatment and is focused on remaining cancer free and returning to her duties in the Royal Family.

Addressing Kate’s health at tonight’s Earthshot Prize in Cape Town, her husband confirmed she is doing ‘really well’, adding: ‘Hopefully she’s watching tonight and cheering me on.

‘She has been amazing this whole year and I know she will be keen to see tonight be a success.’

The Prince of Wales is currently in Cape Town on a four-day royal tour focusing on the climate culminating in his presentation of the Earthshot Prize.

Throughout the year, the heir to the throne has not opened up about Kate’s scare.

He was featured in a heartwarming video of Kate and their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, in which she updated the public about her health.

Describing the relief of chemotherapy ending after the ‘incredibly tough’ months, the princess announced she will soon return to her duties, including joining King Charles for a national service at the Cenotaph on November 10.

She said: ‘Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

‘I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

‘Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.’
