In a heartfelt message, Prince William has shared a rare public update on his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, who is continuing treatment for a medical condition. Though the specifics remain private, he acknowledged the journey has been “more complex than initially anticipated.”

“She continues her recovery with strength, resilience, and grace,” William said in a statement released through Kensington Palace and confirmed by major outlets like the BBC and Sky News.

Catherine’s long absence from public life since early 2024 has sparked growing concern and speculation. This update was intended to offer clarity while still respecting her privacy. William also thanked the public for their ongoing support: “Catherine reads your words. They truly lift her spirit.”

The couple is focused on family life, ensuring Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis feel safe and supported during this challenging time. William emphasized their priority is the children’s emotional well-being.

Though the royal family is known for guarding its privacy, this open moment from Prince William highlights a more personal, modern approach to communication—one that honors public concern with honesty and gratitude.

Official updates will continue to come through Kensington Palace.
