Catherine, Princess of Wales, Shares an Intimate Milestone in Her Cancer Journey

In a heartwarming Instagram video, Catherine, Princess of Wales, shared an intimate milestone in her cancer journey—the completion of her chemotherapy treatment yesterday.

Captured by filmmaker Will Warr, the serene footage showcases a sun-dappled Norfolk summer, where Kate is seen enjoying precious time with her family: Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. In a touching addition, Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, also feature, adding a layer of warmth to the family’s intimate moments.

While her voiceover eloquently conveys emotions of fear, relief, and love—feelings understood by anyone who has experienced cancer—Kate’s choice of the (sold out) Veronica Beard Castella dress spoke to both her personal style and the deeper significance of the day. The monochrome paisley-print midi, with its flowing silhouette, evokes a sense of grace and renewal. Crafted from 100% ramie, the dress reflects her enduring strength and commitment to sustainability.

Known for her sartorial storytelling, Kate’s choice here is particularly symbolic. The relaxed yet refined design—featuring a tiered skirt, cinched waist, and soft V-neckline—embodies her signature elegance, while offering the practical ease needed for a busy mother of three. The paisley print and gentle bohemian floral aesthetic capture a sense of peace, hope, and renewal, subtly celebrating her journey of resilience. Her choice of Veronica Beard, an American family brand founded on timeless versatility, mirrors the very qualities we’ve come to admire in the Princess—strength, grace, and the ability to balance life’s demands with effortless style.

Veronica Beard is available at Harvey Nichols Edinburgh and Pampas Glasgow.
