The Princess of Wales has given a personal update on her treatment and recovery in a video in which she features, together with the Prince of Wales and their children. The video was filmed by Will Warr last month in Norfolk.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCESS OF WALES
'As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.
'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.
'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.
'With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.
'This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.
'Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. 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.
'I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.
'Despite all that has gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.
'William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.
'To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.'

Homewards launch film
PRINCE WILLIAM AND THE ROYAL FOUNDATION LAUNCH UK-WIDE PROGRAMME TO END HOMELESSNESS
• Homewards to see Prince William and The Royal Foundation partner with six locations across the UK in five-year commitment to demonstrate that homelessness can be ended
• Ambition to unlock unprecedented partnerships and boost understanding of homelessness in the country, creating a tried and tested model that can be scaled across the UK and beyond
• Programme launches alongside research suggesting that one in five of the UK public have some experience of homelessness
Prince William will today launch Homewards, a five-year locally led programme which will demonstrate that together it is possible to end homelessness: making it rare, brief, and unrepeated.
Homewards will take a transformative approach to the issue of homelessness and put collaboration at its heart, giving six flagship locations new space, tools, and relationships to showcase what can be achieved through a collective effort focused on preventing homelessness in their areas. The six locations will be gradually unveiled by Prince William as he embarks on a UK tour which will take place over the next two days (Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th June), starting in London.
Prince William said: “In a modern and progressive society, everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need.
“Through Homewards, I want to make this a reality and over the next five years, give people across the UK hope that homelessness can be prevented when we collaborate.
“I am fortunate to have seen first-hand the tireless work of people and organisations across the sector, the tangible impact their efforts can have and what can be done when communities are able to focus on preventing homelessness, rather than managing it.
“It's a big task, but I firmly believe that by working together it is possible to make homelessness rare, brief, and unrepeated and I am very much looking forward t
