Prince William marked his wife Kate Middleton’s 43rd birthday Thursday with a social media post praising her “remarkable strength” over the past year. Kate was diagnosed with cancer in February after being admitted to hospital for abdominal surgery in January 2024. Kate’s health became a subject of global fascination after she disappeared from public view for several weeks before announcing in March that cancer had been found in the course of the operation and that she was having preventative treatment. In September, she announced that she was “cancer-free.” William’s message read: “To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W.” The royal social media account was bombarded with well-wishes in response. Kensington Palace said the picture of the Princess of Wales was taken by Matt Porteous, in Windsor, last summer.
