This is a full timeline of Kate’s health journey in 2024 so far. The Princess’s saga begins in January when she is secretly admitted to The London Clinic for abdominal surgery. Kensington Palace reveals that the princess has had “planned abdominal surgery” and estimates that she will spend the next 10 to 14 days in hospital.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has said she has completed her chemotherapy and is “doing what I can to stay cancer free,” as she plans to return gradually to public life in the coming months.

In a video message, Catherine said she would return to more of her duties, a positive development, but many questions remain about her condition and treatment.
