The Princess of Wales has given an update on her health in a new statement, which she shared to social media.

In a personal message, Kate said that she had been "blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement" and said she was "making good progress" but added that, "as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days."

She went on to say that her treatment will be continuing over the coming months, but that she is finding time to engage in things which bring her joy when she can: "My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.

"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."

In the message, The Princess of Wales also said that she is "looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade this weekend" but knows she "is not out of the woods yet." She said she is listening to her body and "learning to be patient" as she continues treatment.

Kate finished her statement with a message of thanks, saying, "Thank you so much for your continued understanding, and to all of you who have so bravely shared your stories with me."

Included in the post is a new portrait of Kate standing beneath a tree, taken this year.
