Currently enjoying a summer break at Balmoral Castle in Scotland with her family, Catherine has taken the opportunity to sit down and candidly reflect on the past few months. "It has been a difficult journey but one that has brought our family closer together," she shared. The princess spoke about the trials her loved ones endured in supporting her through moments of uncertainty and fear during her chemotherapy treatment and recovery.
As anyone undergoing chemotherapy would know, there are good days and bad days. Catherine touched on the physical toll, saying on the bad days you feel weak and tired, requiring rest. But on the good days when she felt stronger, she wanted to make the most of it. William has been Catherine's constant support through it all, with their three children acting as her source of strength.
