9 years sober to this day 🙏🏾 Feeling blessed to be healthy, happy, and find joy in so many things. For those on their own sobriety journey, know you’re not alone and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Salute to everyone out there living an alcohol-free life.
A message from Catherine, 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.

Happy Canada Day!
We are truly grateful for your unwavering support through the years, especially during the large-scale war.
My friend @AnitaAnandMP and all our friends in Canada, have a great celebration!
Hugs from Ukraine!
This photo was taken today in Bakhmut, the hottest spot of Ukraine. My friends sent it to me - the aerial reconnaissance platoon of the 3rd battalion of the 92nd brigade. They call themselves CODE 9.2.
CODE 9.2 are raising money for Mavic drones (their eyes on the frontline) and asked me to post about it here as well.
I support them however I can from the beginning. They are true Heroes and they do very important work.
If you are able, please consider donating. This is a safe link that allows to pay with cards issued different countries. I will provide a report on the funds raised and purchased drones.
Here is the link: https://t.co/L1fKBcRAit
The donations will be made in Ukrainian currency. $1 = about Uah 37
Thank you! Sharing is also much appreciated.
Today at the @UN, I shared Veronika's story. Her family was killed when Russia shelled their home. She’s one of millions of Ukrainian kids suffering from Putin’s war, and one of many reasons we stand with Ukraine. She painted this to imagine a brighter world.
@SecBlinken Good morning, I just saw your address to the UN given February 24, 2023. Is it possible to get a copy of your remarks? I found your words to be very powerful.
