00:00Shot in autumnal colours, it's an emotional video released by Kensington Palace.
00:06It shows a smiling Princess Kate, surrounded by Prince William and their three children,
00:10all looking happy in the Norfolk countryside and at the beach.
00:14A peaceful setting as she announced the end of her cancer treatment.
00:18As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is
00:22to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.
00:25The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.
00:31In December last year, the Princess disappeared from the public eye,
00:35prompting concern over her well-being.
00:38The following month, royal officials announced she was to stay in hospital
00:41for up to two weeks following abdominal surgery.
00:45Kate then revealed her cancer diagnosis in March,
00:48adding that she would need privacy as she underwent treatment.
00:51Aged 42, the Princess says she looks forward to returning to public duties,
00:55but will do so gradually.
00:57Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long
01:04and I must continue to take each day as it comes.
01:08I am, however, looking forward to being back at work
01:11and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.
01:16The Princess voiced her gratitude for the support she's received during her recovery,
01:20adding that she has a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.
01:25She also expressed solidarity with others battling cancer.
01:29Among them is King Charles III,
01:30whose diagnosis was announced by Buckingham Palace in February.
