The princess revealed she was having cancer treatment in 2024 and said she was in remission at the start of 2025. In the photos released on social media on Sunday, she is also joined by her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, her brother James, and a golden retriever. "A huge thank you to everybody who has supported The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity," the post reads.
