Why William and Kate’s festive card was so poignant last year

Last year, the family released their 2024 Christmas card following a tough year.

In March 2024, the Princess of Wales announced her cancer diagnosis. She confirmed she would be undergoing treatment and took some time away from her royal duties.

In September of last year, Kate announced she had completed her treatment. Then in January of this year, the Princess of Wales announced she was in remission. She has slowly returned to royal duties this year, while still focusing on her recovery.

Speaking in September 2024, Kate reflected on the year since her diagnosis. She said: “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”

Here’s to a healthy and happy 2026 for the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children!
