Less than a year after royal officials announced that she would be undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatments following an unspecified cancer diagnosis, the former Kate Middleton has released a statement sharing that she is in remission and focused “on recovery.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, said on Tuesday that her cancer was in remission, lifting a major cloud from the British royal family, which had struggled with serious health concerns for both her and King Charles III. “It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,” Catherine, the wife of Prince William, wrote on Instagram.
