Kate Middleton attended the English National Ballet’s matinee performance of Giselle at Sadlers Wells this afternoon in her first public appearance since the end of chemotherapy
The Princess of Wales is building up to a return to royal life by attending a matinee performance by the English National Ballet.
The future Queen enjoyed the performance so much, she shared a personal message on X, saying: “Congratulations and thank you to @ENBallet and @Sadlers_Wells for the wonderfully powerful, moving and inspiring performance of Akram Khan’s Giselle. Creativity at its best! C” A royal source said: “Over the last few months, a key part of the Princess’ recovery is doing things that bring her joy and the arts, including ballet, is a real passion for the Princess.”
The Princess is continuing to plan for a return to royal duties, this week confirming her intention to host her annual charity carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December. The Together At Christmas event, now in its fourth year, will be shown on ITV on Christmas Eve.

Royal sources said it was further good news that the mum-of-three was feeling well enough to take on more light work as she continues her recovery, while she looks forward to starting some public engagements in the future.
Aides have stressed that any engagements would be undertaken in line with Kate’s continued recovery, but the concert is the princess’s first confirmed engagement since the concert last December. On her journey to recovery the princess did attend the Wimbledon Men’s Final in July, alongside her daughter Princess Charlotte, nine and sister, Pippa.
A source said: “The princess continues to be making a good recovery and is looking forward to getting back to public life and is preparing for a light schedule of engagements in the run up to the New Year.” Last week, the Princess undertook another meeting in Windsor with her team at the Centre for Early childhood.

It was the first official meeting the princess had undertaken since she was first hosipialised in January for abdominal surgery. She spent two weeks at The London Clinic before she was discharged and dealt with a secondary diagnosis of cancer some weeks later.
Kate was applauded earlier this month for her heartfelt statement where she spoke of her cancer journey being “complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you”. The princess added: “With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.”
Kate also spoke of how her husband Prince William, 42, had been by her side and together they had come to “reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
She added: “Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.”
