I Loved My Stepdaughters Unconditionally, yet Their Rejection Made Me Finally Stop Trying

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.
“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.”
“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.
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.
