an update on the health of the Princess
of Wales has been released nearly 3
months after she revealed she had been
diagnosed with cancer it's come amid a
new image taken earlier this week in
Windsor and a written statement in which
she reveals she will be attending
trooping the color the king's official
birthday tomorrow the full statement
reads as follows I have been blown away
by all the kind messages of support and
encouragement over the last couple of
months it really has made the world of
difference to William and to me and has
helped us both through some of the
harder times I'm 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 into your
body resting 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 on the days I feel well enough
it's 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
I'm looking forward to attending the
King's Birthday parade this weekend with
my family and hope to join a few public
engagements over the summer but equally
knowing I'm not out of the woods yet I'm
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 thank you so much for your
continued understanding and to all of
you who have so bravely shared your
stories with me when the princess
revealed Her diagnosis in late March she
said it had come as a huge shock and
that she had been receiving chemotherapy
since late February our Royal
correspondent Johnny Diamond now
reports a new picture of the princess
from the palace to Mark a new stage in
her journey so it's been almost 3 months
since the princess revealed that she was
undergoing chemotherapy something that
followed surgery earlier in the year 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'm now
in the early stages of that
treatment since then Prince William has
worked alone and the palace has remained
silent though last week when asked about
Kate's progress the prince said she was
getting better she'd have loved to have
been at the D-Day commemorations he
said from The Princess this evening a
message about these past long months I'm
making good progress she wrote but as
anyone going through chemotherapy will
know there are good days and bad days on
those bad days you feel feel weak tired
and you have to give in to your body
resting but on the good days when you
feel stronger you want to make the most
of feeling well my treatment she wrote
is ongoing and will be for a few more
months tomorrow is the King's Birthday
parade trooping the color one of the
biggest days of the royal year and the
princess says she will be there back in
the public eye with her children then
maybe more public engagements to come
this summer but each one will depend on
the princess's
health I am the princess wrote today not
out of the woods yet but from Windsor
comes a message and a picture that speak
of Hope for days to come Johnny Diamond
BBC
News Now is our Royal correspondent Shan
cochlan Sean what did you make of of
this statement it seems extremely candid
very open it is very personal and we've
heard it written in her own words
released by the palace with something
she's written herself and it probably is
the most significant update on her
health since that video message she put
out in March when she revealed her
cancer diagnosis um I think it really
sets out in some ways the optimism the
sense of she's getting better she said
she's making good progress uh and also
we know she tomorrow she'll be at the
troop in the color so she know she's
well enough to do that but it's also
guarded optimism because it's CCH very
much with some C ction around what
happens next her cancer treatment is
carrying on the the chemotherapy is
going to continue for some months ahead
she says and she said that before didn't
she that's right but the most recent
statement she now reiterates it's going
to carry on um and also as she says in
her own words I'm not out of the woods
yet so I think and also this expression
of there being good days and bad days
shows this is still very much a journey
and I think people perhaps his families
have experienced this might be
sympathetic to that as well and when she
writes there's a sense really that she
is speaking to other people who have
also been through the same treatment
this sense of calm this sense of balance
that jumps out of the statement very
much so at the end she says how much
other people's stories have inspired her
and given her hope as well and I think
there is very much that sense in some
ways of a shared experience I think that
the response she's had and she said she
was blown away by all the kind messages
she's received I think we'll tap into
the experiences of lots of individuals
and families who have come across
similar
experiences it's a big event um to make
a reappearance um but it's it's a Well
chosen one isn't it it is it's one of
the big Royal events of the Year
celebrating the King's birthday big
parade and she'll be part of that part
of the wider family the attention won't
just be on her uh King Charles also um
is he is the birthday boy but also he's
had to make changes because of his own
cancer diagnosis he'll be in a carriage
rather than on Horseback as he was last
year um and I think you know it is and
and also she'll be on the balcony waving
down I think it's one of the great
iconic moments when you see the world
family gathered they're bound to be
crowds down there on the mile looking up
at her so I think it's a it's it's a
carefully choreographed moment for her
to make a return and maybe we'll see a
few more over the course of the summer
no doubt we will hope so thank you so
much Sean well let's now uh speak to
Pandora fory Ro contor who joins us from
I believe mua um what do you make of
what Katherine had to say hi Tanya yeah
this is extremely positive and I think
it just goes to say again just How brave
Katherine is because she knows all of
the world's eyes are going to be on her
tomorrow and she is very much standing
by her Duty and also standing by her
father-in-law as well for his big day
too so just to reiterate really just How
brave she is coming out with this
statement and underneath uh this
appearance really is a signal that the
solidarity within the family 100% And
also she'll be with her children
tomorrow and of course they're used to
when they go to these big public
engagements being with their mother and
being by her side too supporting her so
not only is it of course going to be on
the world stage but it also gives them a
sense of normality too uh within the
family because of course if she wasn't
there that wouldn't be the norm for them
so I think you know that's very much at
the Forefront of her mind pressurized
though isn't it having been out of the
public eye and then appearing not
necessarily feeling your best she's made
it very clear that it's difficult to
predict there are good days there are
bad days and yet commit committing to
this in the way that she has shows I
guess a commitment to Royal duties very
much so and she says she's doing a
little bit of work um and I think for
anybody who has had a cancer diagnosis
it very much depends on the day of how
they're feeling and I think because of
the fact she's being so open um about
this is going to make her so much more
relatable as well um as the royal family
and it's sort of closing that Gap I
suppose between just a royal Watcher and
also understanding that they are also
human and they can be affected by real
issues that so many of us and so many
you know family members or friends also
have have been diagnosed with too so
tomorrow she knows that the world's eyes
are going to be on her but she's used to
being in the public Spotlight and that's
really what she wants to get back to is
uh you know shining a light on causes
which she really does want to be spoken
about and moving the story away from her
but she will be really in the distance
won't she trooping the color from from
the perspective of the cameras there
won't be tight shots or anything uh
revealing you know the intimacy of her
expression and so on and I was looking
at the photograph and wondering the same
thing if there's a sort of underlying
message there of this need to to step
back and not be scrutinized closely yeah
very much so um echoing what you said I
think she's so aware of the speculation
surrounding her at the moment and of
course she won't be reading uh social
media Outlets daytoday to protect her
own health but her team will be keeping
her updated and I think think because of
that everybody around her and the
closeit circle around her is so
protective of her at the moment and the
photographer that was used has been a
photographer who's been on Royal tours
with them again that trusted close-nit
Circle really is uh is what she is going
to be leaning on and supporting uh
supporting herself with uh with her
children uh by her side thank you so
much
