Kate Middleton Makes Major Career Move After Announcing She’s in Remission From Cancer
Kate Middleton is ready to work after she announced that she’s cancer-free. The Princess of Wales just joined her husband in a last-minute appearance with a cause that’s close to her heart.
Kate made the announcement on January 14, 2025, that she is done with cancer treatment. “It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,” she wrote on their joint social media account. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.” She first revealed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024. “It’s really tough,” she said of her chemotherapy treatment to patients who were experiencing the same thing. “It’s such a shock.”
While making this announcement she revealed her role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden in London. She wrote, “My hope is, that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer.”
What is Kate Middleton doing after her remission?
Buckingham Palace announced that she would join Prince William at a ceremony commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day. It marks her first official appearance since she announced her remission and a last-minute addition to the event. Prince William had already been scheduled to attend the event honoring the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Holocaust Memorial Day honors the six million Jewish people who were murdered during the Holocaust. The Prince and Princess of Wales have honored the survivors in previous years. In 2020, Kate helped unveil a new exhibition of two Holocaust survivors with their grandchildren. It was organized by the Holocaust Memorial Trust, Jewish News and Royal Photographic Society, which Kate is a patron of. “The harrowing atrocities of the Holocaust, which were caused by the most unthinkable evil, will forever lay heavy in our hearts. Yet it is so often through the most unimaginable adversity that the most remarkable people flourish,” Princess Kate said in a statement at the time. “Despite unbelievable trauma at the start of their lives, Yvonne Bernstein and Steven Frank are two of the most life-affirming people that I have had the privilege to meet.”
She continued, “They look back on their experiences with sadness but also with gratitude that they were some of the lucky few to make it through. Their stories will stay with me forever. Whilst I have been lucky enough to meet two of the now very few survivors, I recognize not everyone in the future will be able to hear these stories first hand. It is vital that their memories are preserved and passed on to future generations, so that what they went through will never be forgotten.”
