The key to Kate Middleton’s cancer recovery has been revealed as she enjoys a touching surprise outing.
It has been revealed that the Princess of Wales enjoyed a secret outing to watch a performance by the English National Ballet - and an insider has revealed how it has been helping her recovery following the end of her chemotherapy treatment
A royal insider has revealed a key part of the Princess of Wales’ recovery following her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment.
It was revealed yesterday that Kate, who has been building up to a return to royal life, attended a performance by the English National Ballet. She watched a performance of Giselle at Sadlers Wells Theatre in London, enjoying it so much, you took to social media to rave about the show. In a personal message on X, she said: “Congratulations and thank you to @ENBallet and @Sadlers_Wells for the wonderfully powerful, moving and inspiring performance of Akram Khan’s Giselle. Creativity at its best! C”.
The outing comes just weeks after it was announced she had completed her chemotherapy treatment after receiving a cancer diagnosis in February. And a royal source explained part of the reason for the trip, and said: “Over the last few months, a key part of the Princess’ recovery is doing things that bring her joy and the arts, including ballet, is a real passion for the Princess.”
Kate is continuing to plan for a return to royal duties, and this week, she confirmed her intention to host her annual charity carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December. The Together At Christmas event, now in its fourth year, will be shown on ITV on Christmas Eve.
Royal sources said it was further good news that the mum-of-three was feeling well enough to take on more light work as she continues her recovery, while she looks forward to starting some public engagements in the future. Aides have stressed that any engagements would be undertaken in line with Kate’s continued recovery, but the concert is the princess’s first confirmed engagement since the concert last December. On her journey to recovery, the princess did attend the Wimbledon Men’s Final in July, alongside her daughter Princess Charlotte, nine and sister, Pippa.
A source said: “The princess continues to be making a good recovery and is looking forward to getting back to public life and is preparing for a light schedule of engagements in the run-up to the New Year.” Last week, the Princess undertook another meeting in Windsor with her team at the Centre for Early Childhood.
