Prince William reflects on ‘brutal’ year as Kate returns to hospital because of… full story below 👇👇👇

Catherine, Princess of Wales, takes a significant step in her recovery from cancer this weekend, as she attends formal events alongside her father-in-law King Charles III to remember Britain’s war dead.

Her attendance at the events in London is the first time that Catherine, who is widely known as Kate, will be at a major royal occasion since ending chemotherapy.

Buckingham Palace’s announcement came as her husband Prince William described the past year in which both Kate and his father battled cancer as “brutal” and probably the “hardest” of his life.

Charles, 75, will lead the royal family at two of the most important events in the royal calendar — Saturday evening’s Festival of Remembrance commemorative concert and Sunday’s ceremony at the Cenotaph war memorial.

Senior royals traditionally attend the solemn wreath-laying at the monument near parliament alongside political leaders, and current and former members of the armed forces, including war veterans.

But the presence of Charles’s wife Queen Camilla, 77, has not yet been confirmed after she withdrew from engagements earlier this week due to a chest infection.

Her attendance would be subject to medical advice nearer the time, the palace said.

William, 42, on Thursday revealed how he had coped since both illnesses were announced.

“Honestly, it’s been dreadful. It’s probably been the hardest year in my life. So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult,” he told reporters at the end of a four-day visit to South Africa for his Earthshot prize initiative.

The palace in February announced that Charles had been diagnosed with an undisclosed cancer and would withdraw from public life to undergo treatment.

The following month Kate, also 42, revealed that she too had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.

Both have since made limited returns to public duties, although Head of State Charles, who recently toured Australia and Samoa, is still undergoing treatment
