Kate Middleton's Road to Recovery: Prince William Shares the Truth About Princess of Wales Post-Chemo

William, Prince of Wales, is in South Africa for the fourth annual Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony.

When asked how Catherine, Princess of Wales, who is not in attendance, was doing since completing chemotherapy in early September, HRH replied, "She's doing really well thanks. And hopefully, she is watching tonight and cheering me on."

The future king added, "She's been amazing this whole this whole year. I know she will be really keen to see tonight be a success."

This follows good news from Kate biographer Robert Jobson who dished, "From what I understand, Catherine is doing very well. She is back training at the gym and doing all the things she wanted to do. I do think that we will start to see a lot more of her and that she will carry out engagements as well as continuing to work behind the scenes."

Rather than travel all over the country all the time, like she used to, I think she will concentrate on more impactful events," he added. "If she has her way, she will come back in stages and do things that are important to her."

The future queen is set to likely only appear at grand royal events with charity work appearances likely receiving "video visits" as she finds her way back to her old routine.

"Her focus will be on her family, while still managing to do the key events," the author continued. "I think William is very keen that she does stage a comeback, but I don’t think that necessarily signals that we’re going to get a big tranche of engagements, one after the other."

HRH visited the Southport Community Center on October 10 with her husband in what was her first royal engagement since completing chemotherapy.

Her Royal Highness spoke with first responders who assisted victims of a deadly knife attack that targeted children in Southport, England, on July 29, and got candid and "emotional," which reminded some of Princess Diana's public displays of empathy.

"It was one of the most emotional and candid conversations I’ve ever listened to on a royal visit," royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills shared. "[Kate] was engaged and visibly moved by what she was hearing from the first responders as they bravely shared their experiences. With William alongside her, you could see that they had both wanted to travel to Southport to show the community that they hadn’t been forgotten."

She further added, "This was a big moment for Kate in her recovery journey, but a visit she wouldn’t have missed. There was no sign of the personal challenges she has faced this year."
