The Princess of Wales appeared noticeably thinner and moved the world as she made her first public appearance since unexpectedly pulling out of Royal Ascot. She visited a hospital in Colchester to help open a new wellness garden, where she planted roses bearing her name and spent meaningful time speaking with patients battling the same illness she has faced.
In one of her most sincere and touching moments since beginning treatment, Catherine revealed that she had to hide her true feelings behind a “mask of courage” throughout the ordeal. She spoke about the constant pressure to appear strong and keep going, even when inside everything felt like it was falling apart. Moreover, the princess emphasized that the period after treatment is one of the most difficult and frightening, as the fight against the disease doesn’t end when therapy stops.
She also opened up about how challenging it has been to find a new balance and understand what her “new normal” looks like. In a vulnerable gesture, she shared that acupuncture has been one of the methods helping her heal and seek harmony.
Finally, Catherine stressed that emotional support must be ongoing, highlighting how essential it is for patients to receive care even after medical treatments conclude, since recovery goes far beyond physical healing.
