Princess Kate highlighted ‘the fragility of life’ as she opened up on cancer journey

In the moving video - which featured Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - she confirmed that she will return to her working royal duties soon, stating that she will make several public engagements before the year is out.

The three-minute video shows a glimpse of her family life away from the public eye - Kate and William can be seen playing with their children in the woods, on the beach and in the sea.

GB News’ Digital Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen said that the clip said the video brilliantly captured just how unpredictable life could be.

He sat down with GB News’ Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker for this week’s episode of The Royal Record Episode to discuss Kate’s announcement and its impact.

Cameron summarised the video and its significance: “On Monday, the Princess of Wales released a very personal video message announcing that she has completed her course of preventative chemotherapy.

“And on the surface, yes, very good news. But also, of course, she's not quite out of the woods yet. So far the video gave a real intimate insight into what she's kind of been going through in terms of her recovery over the last nine months, and it involved some very special people in the princess's life.”

Svar said that the video showcased a side of Kate’s health journey that we had yet to see.

“She said that life can change in an instant, which I think really captured her feeling of how fragile life can be sometimes,” he said.

“I think when you get diagnosed with something like cancer, it can come as a shock and to not just you, but the people around you.

Svar continued: “Catherine also said that the last nine months have been incredibly tough for them as a family. And the people that featured in the video were her husband, Prince William, her her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and then also her parents, Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton.

Cameron was quick to add another important member of the family to the list.

“And the dog, Orla and the dog?” Cameron interjected. Svar laughed, “Yes, and the dog.

“So it really captured the kind of immediate people that are that are so important to Catherine.”
