Kate Middleton said on Friday that she plans on participating in a parade tomorrow in celebrating the birthday of King Charles III, which marks her return to public life after announcing earlier this year that she was diagnosed with cancer.

The Princess of Wales made the announcement in a lengthy statement posted to social media where she reflected on her battle with cancer.

She said that she has been “blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement” that she and her family have received over the last few months, and that it’s made a difference during her low points.

“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,” she said. “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,” she continued. “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.”

She said that in addition to joining the King’s Birthday Parade on Saturday, she hopes to engage in other public engagements over the summer.

“I am not out of the woods yet,” she added. “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.”

She announced her cancer diagnosis in a video back in March where she revealed that she had recently undergone “major abdominal surgery.”

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous,” she added. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment,” Middleton continued. “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
