Kate Middleton made the surprise announcement that she would be joining the rest of the Windsors today on Friday evening, releasing a highly personal statement via Kensington Palace. “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days,” she wrote. “On those bad days, you feel weak, tired, and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.” She hoped, she added, to “join a few public engagements over the summer,” while acknowledging that she isn’t “out of the woods yet”—meaning it’s highly unlikely that she will make an appearance at either Garter Day or Royal Ascot this year.
