Little Prince Louis snaps special photo of Princess Kate

Kate Middleton has shared a sweet photo taken by her son, Prince Louis, to mark World Cancer Day. 

The Princess of Wales is seen with her arms outstretched standing in the middle of a woodland area in Windsor, in the middle of winter, as she stands atop a fallen tree. 

The caption, written by Catherine and signed 'C', reads: "Don't forget to nurture all that which lies beyond the disease".

A second photo, taken by the princess, shows dark foliage lit-up by the sun with the same message, and was tagged #WorldCancerDay.

Kate was diagnosed with cancer after abdominal surgery in January 2024 and is making a gradual return to public duties following chemotherapy treatment, which ended in September.

In January, the princess announced she was in remission as carried out her first solo engagement of the year at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she was treated for cancer.

The Princess of Wales spend over an hour at the dedicated cancer treatment facility, engaging in emotional conversations with patients who were facing cancer battles of their own. 

Catherine later posted a photo of her interacting with a patient and discussing the outing to the hospital, while thanking staff for their support during her treatment. 

"I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year," the post read. 

"My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. We couldn't have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional."

"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal."

She concluded the post by sharing her wishes for 2025, adding, "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."
