The Princess of Wales delighted royal fans on Monday after she appeared in a deeply personal video with her family to confirm she will return to public duties following the completion of her chemotherapy course.
Princess Kate gave a heartfelt message about her cancer journey and described the past nine months since her serious health issues began as “incredibly tough for us as a family” and how the “cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone”, with the experience giving her a “new perspective on everything.”
In the video, the future Queen said: “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.”
But it wasn’t just the joyous news which hyped up fans as the royal sported a brand new outfit, wearing a new designer for the first time.
Kate Veronica Beard’s Castella floral-print Ramie midi dress in ivory (£617 and currently sold out online) which she paired with her beloved white Veja trainers (£109).
She accessorised her boho-chic ensemble with Kiki McDonough’s green amethyst pear drop earrings (£695) and a personalised necklace with the initials of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis by Daniella Draper (£1,100), as well as the eternity ring she had when she congratulated Team GB at the Olympic Games earlier in the summer.
The Princess of Wales kept her make-up fresh and minimal and she wore her luscious locks down in her signature wavy blowdry.
Royal fans were delighted about Kate’s latest news and loved her boho-chic look, taking to social media to praise her.
One user wrote on Instagram: “So happy she has completed chemo which must have been exhausting and worrying. Catherine looks beautiful and natural.”
A second one said: “Beautiful dress worn by a beautiful woman.”
A third one said: “Is this the first time she has worn Veronica Beard? And the necklace? Interesting!!”
A fourth fan commented: “New brand for the princess [heart emoji] Such a beautiful happy family.”
A fifth one chimed in: “Lovely video, and beautiful dress.”
A sixth said: “This dress is gorgeous!”
The Princess of Wales also sported a second dress in the video – a light blue button-up dress which matched her husband, Prince William’s blue polo t-shirt.
