Princess Kate and Prince William's plans have been laid bare as the couple will not "press a reset button" for 2025, according to a royal insider.
The Princess of Wales announced she had completed a course of preventative chemotherapy treatment in September and has since staggered her return to public duties.
Kate said in the video message: "This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved."
A royal source has told the Mail that the Princess of Wales will continue to balance her recovery with royal duties.
