On those bad days you feel weak, tired and have to give in to resting your body. When you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling good.”
She added: “My treatment is ongoing and will last for a few more months. On days when I feel good, it’s a joy to participate in school life, dedicate my personal time to the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to work a little at home, I’m looking forward to taking part in the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to attend some public engagements over the summer, but also knowing that I’m not out of the woods yet. “
Kate also thanked everyone for their “continued understanding” and said she is “taking each day as it comes.”
