Prince William and Kate Middleton recently shared their family Christmas card with the world after a difficult year via Fox News.
On their official Instagram page, a short video clip depicted the card sitting on a table in front of a Christmas tree, with digital snow falling over the video.
“Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year,” the message inside read, accompanied by a photo of The Prince and Princess of Wales with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Typically, the family shares a new photo for their annual Christmas card. However, this year they opted for a pre-existing image pulled from the video released in September announcing the conclusion of Middleton’s chemotherapy treatment.
“Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long, and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” the princess said in a heartfelt video announcing the news. “I am, however, looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”
Middleton has gradually been adding appearances to her schedule after taking a break for her cancer treatment.
Earlier this month, she also hosted her annual “Together at Christmas” concert, first organized in 2021 as a way to honor people and organizations that went above and beyond in their communities during the pandemic.
At the event, the 42-year-old looked cheerful in a long red coat with a black bow at the collar.
“I didn’t know this year was going to be the year that I’ve just had,” Middleton said in a video captured by Channel 5 News U.K. and uploaded to X, formerly Twitter.
“The unplanned,” Faith interjected.
“The unplanned, exactly,” Middleton replied in agreement. “But I think lots of people this year have had such challenging times.”
Prince William’s father, King Charles III, has also been battling cancer this year.
