Princess Catherine gave an interview where she openly spoke about the struggles and challenges she’s been facing—even after her recovery. Many people thanked her for her honesty and vulnerability, noting how her appearance seems to have changed over the past year. Her words struck a chord with those who admire her strength and grace in the face of difficulty.

While much attention is given to the clinical phase of cancer, Kate highlighted how the journey doesn’t end once the treatment is over.

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment,” Kate explained. “Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ’I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.”

The Princess continued, describing how the transition from the clinical environment back to everyday life can feel like a daunting challenge. “You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,” Kate shared. “And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”

Her honest words provided an invaluable perspective on recovery, showing that it’s not simply about returning to the life you knew before.

“You have to find your new normal and that takes time... and it’s a roller coaster; it’s not a smooth sail, like you expect it to be,” Kate said.

This statement serves as a reminder that healing is not linear and often involves an emotional roller coaster. It’s not just about physical recovery; it’s about mentally and emotionally readjusting to a life that’s forever changed. As Kate said, the experience is “life-changing” for both the patient and their families.

Kate’s heartfelt words have deeply resonated with many of her followers, with several sharing their own experiences:

  • Catherine, The Princess of Wales, is so lovely. How difficult it must be to share such a personal journey!! Love her and Prince William!
  • Healing takes time and Catherine is dealing with the after effects of surgery and chemo as best as she can. Love and prayers to you dear.❤
  • Princess Catherine has a very natural and kind manner. By sharing her very personal health details with the patients — she has given some comfort during a difficult time in their lives. Indeed a bit of kindness can make a huge difference unlike those who choose to leave negative comments here. You help no one.
  • Her surgery alone was very serious and then the cancer diagnosis and treatment added to that had to be extremely difficult. Prayers for Catherine Princess of Wales. ️

As people have pointed out, even the princess’s appearance has changed over the past year. Her recent photos sparked a flood of comments online.

  • Another one stated: “Most of her photos are touched up/edited, especially when they are photographed by her favorite photographer, Chris Jackson, whose wife is Kate’s assistant or something.”
  • “The photo has been retouched, she has had deep horizontal grooves on her forehead for years, and they are not visible here. There is definitely something strange going on with this photo, for a start, the left jawline has a distinct shape that I have never seen on her before and there is something vaguely masculine looking about her entire face here.”

Recent photos of Vera Wang have caused quite a stir online — the 76-year-old fashion designer looks noticeably different than she did before.
