Kate described the cancer diagnosis and treatment as "life-changing" for both patients and their loved ones. "You have to find your new normal and that takes time … And it's a roller coaster. It's not smooth, like you expect it to be," she said, according to the outlet. "But the reality is you go through hard times."

Kate had reduced her royal duties after announcing in March 2024 that she was receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. Princess Kate later shared in September that she completed chemotherapy and said in January that she is in remission following a stop at The Royal Marsden Hospital, where she received treatment.
