Catherine, Princess of Wales will attend Remembrance events in London over the weekend. The 42-year-old royal has slowly been returning to public duties after undergoing abdominal surgery and subsequent preventative chemotherapy treatment, and Buckingham Palace have now confirmed she will be present for the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday (09.11.
24) evening and the service at the Cenotaph on Sunday (10.11.24).
Queen Camilla's attendance has yet to be confirmed as she withdrew from engagements this week after contracting a chest infection and she will take medical advice nearer the time. The confirmation of Catherine's attendance comes after her husband Prince William admitted 2024 has been "brutal" as both his wife and father King Charles underwent cancer treatment. Asked on his trip to South Africa how his year has been, he replied: “Honestly? It’s been dreadful.
It’s probably been the hardest year in my life. “Trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult. “But I’m so proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they have done.
But from a personal family point of view, it’s been, yeah, it’s been brutal.” Catherine revealed in a video message in March she was undergoing cancer treatment, then in September issued another video saying she had finished her chemotherapy and was taking each day as it comes. William gave another rare update on his wife’s he.
