Princess of Wales to appear in public again but says she's "not out of the woods yet"

The Princess of Wales will start attending some public events again as she continues her treatment for cancer.

Kate has released a statement after revealing she was having preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer back in March.

The Princess says she will be attending Trooping the Colour this weekend but added that the chemotherapy is ongoing and that she "is not out of the woods yet".

The princess will be joined by her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, in a carriage for the traditional procession to Trooping the Colour and later they will gather with other royals on Buckingham Palace’s balcony for the fly-past.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “His Majesty is delighted that the princess is able to attend tomorrow’s events, and is much looking forward to all elements of the day”.

Princess Kate says she is making good progress with chemotherapy

In the statement her Royal Highness updated the world on her health, saying she has made good progress, but that like many people undergoing chemotherapy she has good and bad days.

She goes on to say that she's starting to do a little work from home, as well as working on personal things that give her 'energy and positivity'

When will see Kate resume public duties?

This isn't a full return to public life for the Princess.

She will attend the King's Birthday parade this weekend and says she's hoping to join a few public engagements over the summer but also admits she is not out of the woods yet and will take each day at a time.

Princess of Wales' full statement:

I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months. 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. 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.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me.

The Prince and Princess of Wales

Towards the end of April the King announced he would be returning to public duties despite his ongoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
