- Royal commentators report the experience has strengthened the couple’s relationship, describing them as more united ahead of their 15th wedding anniversary in April 2026.
- During her recovery, Kate spoke of finding a “new normal” and described the post-treatment phase as challenging, reflecting on a holistic approach to health.
- Prince William reduced engagements during her illness, including withdrawing from a February 27, 2024 memorial service later linked to the day of Kate’s diagnosis.
