Issuing a rare health update last month, the Princess said: “My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months,” she said in the message. “On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”

Given her keen love of photography, it has been speculated that photography could be one of these hobbies helping to keep her spirits up amid her treatment, especially as the photograph shared to mark both Father’s day and husband Prince William ’s birthday were also credited to Kate.

There was one break in tradition this year however. Up until 2023, each year birthday photographs for the royal children were released one day prior to the big day, but due to the ongoing scheduling issues surrounding Kate’s cancer treatment, this year, all three of her children’s photos have been issued on the day itself.

It’s understood that the change stemmed from a desire for more privacy while the family navigated through the tough situation.
