James Middleton, Kate Middleton’s younger brother, recently provided an update regarding her cancer treatment, indicating that the Princess of Wales is doing “OK” after completing chemotherapy earlier this month. James expressed confidence that Kate is receiving top-notch care.
During a September 26 appearance on *Today*, he said, “It’s not for me to share on her behalf how everything is going, but she’s getting all the right support and focus that she needs.” While acknowledging that Kate, who disclosed her cancer diagnosis in March, is improving, he noted that her battle is ongoing, stating, “Like anything, it takes time to process.”
James also shared that Kate and her husband, Prince William, have been vital sources of support for him during his own struggles with clinical depression. “Catherine and William have both been involved in mental health charities, from which I got help,” he explained. “They served as a fantastic bridge for me to convey my feelings to the family.”
This isn’t the first time James has publicly supported Kate’s wellness. Following her diagnosis announcement in March, he shared an encouraging message on Instagram, stating, “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”
Kate made her first public appearance since completing chemotherapy by attending a church service in Scotland earlier this month. In a September 9 video message, she expressed her focus on staying cancer-free. “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,” said the Princess of Wales, who is the mother of Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
