JUST NOW Princess Catherine confirms she is returning to royal duties with a ‘special film’

Kate Middleton has rejoined Prince William in public engagements for the first time since revealing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

In a joint post with Prince William, the Princess of Wales, 41, highlighted mental health issues affecting young farmers. The royal couple shared their project on X (formerly Twitter) through the Kensington Royal account, stating: “This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we’ve brought together the inspirational Sam Stables from We Are Farming Minds and the brilliant Farmer Will for a very special film.”

They noted the importance of discussing mental health within the farming community and highlighted the Duchy of Cornwall’s Mental Health Strategy.

Although Princess Catherine does not appear in the video, her involvement in its production alongside Prince William is evident. The project began before her illness, showcasing her longstanding commitment to mental health advocacy.

The public last heard from the Princess in a moving video where she requested privacy as she began preventative chemotherapy. This announcement in March followed speculation regarding her absence after planned abdominal surgery in January.

Initially not thought to be cancerous, a subsequent diagnosis confirmed the presence of the disease.

Kate has spoken about the delicate process of discussing her health with her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

King Charles III, 75, who is also battling cancer, has resumed his royal engagements. The monarch has been actively fulfilling his duties, recently completing five engagements within two days. His busy schedule prevented him from meeting Prince Harry during his short visit to the UK.

However, Kate is not expected to participate in public events in the near future. For instance, she will not attend the wedding ceremony at Chester Cathedral for the Duke of Westminster and Olivia Henson, scheduled for June 7th.

Prince William will attend the event as an usher, according to Kensington Palace’s report. Among the guests are British billionaire Hugh Grosvenor, a close friend of Princes William and Harry and godfather to Prince Archie. Prince Harry, amidst the royal rift, has opted out of the wedding.

British royal family news reveals that Catherine, the Princess of Wales continues to forge ahead as she remains sidelined due to undergoing preventative cancer treatment. Today she issued a series of Instagram messages extolling the virtue of nature in supporting wellbeing.

In particular Kate’s series highlighted the work of the Natural History Museum as it opens new gardens. Today the London museum debuted a free of charge outdoor gallery and living laboratory to support environmental recovery against climate change.

Kate wrote on Instagram: “I am hugely supportive of the Museum’s commitment to create a special space which encourages people of all ages to reconnect with nature and learn more about how we can protect our natural world.”

“I know the power of nature to support our development and wellbeing, both by bringing us joy and helping to keep us physically, mentally and spiritually healthy. I hope these gardens will be inspiring and transformative for the thousands of people who visit.”

Kate’s post had footage of her trip to the museum three years ago. At that time she toured the Natural History Museum’s wildlife gardens and met local school children.

The Princess of Wales announced in March that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer. Today’s messaging appears to be line with a coordinated, careful comeback for the mother of three.
