Kate Middleton made her first public appearance on Sunday after completing her chemotherapy treatment. The 42-year-old Princess of Wales attended a church service near the Balmoral estate in Scotland, accompanied by her husband, Prince William, as well as King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Photos show Kate in the passenger seat of a car driven by Prince William, who wore a navy suit and blue tie for the occasion.
This visit marks her return to public duties following her absence due to cancer treatment.
On September 9, Kate announced that she had finished her chemotherapy six months after being diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer. This news came shortly after Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles III was also undergoing cancer treatment.
In a video, Kate expressed optimism about her recovery, stating that her journey to full health would take time. She mentioned the challenges her family faced over the past nine months, saying, “Life as you know it can change in an instant.”
Earlier this week, Kate quietly resumed her royal duties, holding a private meeting with her team from Kensington Palace and the Centre for Early Childhood.
Despite stepping back from most royal engagements during her treatment, she made two public appearances earlier this year: participating in the Trooping the Colour military parade in June and attending the men's final at Wimbledon in July, where she received a standing ovation.
