With Kate Middleton now making progress in her recovery, the Prince of Wales expressed how “proud” he is of his wife. Reflecting on these tough times, he shared his thoughts in an interview to mark the end of his week-long visit to South Africa.

Kate Middleton made her return to public duties in September. In a video message featuring her family, the Princess of Wales revealed that she had undergone chemotherapy and was feeling much better. “I am doing what I can to stay cancer-free,” she shared at the time.
“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” a part of her message read.
Kate Middleton also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to those who supported her during her recovery.
